You have got to do "It's alright ma (I'm only Bleeding)" if you want to hear Dylan do hip-hop/rap. Make sure you have the lyrics in right in front of you or you'll miss alot. Only lyricist ever to win a Nobel Prize for Literature. The GOAT songwriter.

@tamaramontoya6939 7 күн бұрын

@@gregcable3250 Yes I agree to always have the lyrics in front of you. So many “reactors “ don’t and try to guess what they are saying and 90% of the time they get it wrong which can totally affect the message and then it’s a waste of a valuable song. True also in a lot of the RATM reviews I’ve seen. Why miss the message when it’s so easy to pull up the lyrics .

Early Dylan is like a rap precursor, not all of the songs but several. His voice will grow on you, and remember that Bob Dylan won a Nobel Prize in the literature category. If you break down some of his lyrics, particularly in the mid 60s, it's sophisticated poetry with complex rhyming patterns.

Bob Dylan was very involved in the civil rights movement. He sang at the famous Martin Luther King speech. The video is on KZbin. Yes, Bob Dylan is worth diving into. Album? Blood On The Tracks is my favorite but for early Dylan, The Times They Are A Changin’ is amazing.

"You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows" -- The militant 1960's anti-war group known as The Weathermen, later as The Weather Underground, took their name from that line. They bombed military recruitment centers to protest the Vietnam War. They mostly set off their bombs at night to avoid casualties, but still killed several people anyway, including members of their group, when a bomb they were making blew up on them. The survivors went underground to evade authorities and a few did so for more than a decade, iirc. The bald bearded man wearing glasses off to the left behind Dylan is the poet Allen Ginsberg. When you're ready for more Dylan, check out Marianne Faithfull's cover of "It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue". PS. For more of his "rap", check out Bob Dylan "It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)" and "Desolation Row" along with others.

ICE-T calls this one of the first rap songs in his new book, "Split Decision." This is from BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME. Great album to do. Esp. IT'S ALRIGHT MA (I'm Only Bleeding) "Darkness at the break of noon, shadows even the silver spoon, to understand, you know too soon, there's no sense in trying." BTW - The 60s radical group that blew up the U.S. Capitol building in 1971 took their name, The Weathermen (later, The Weather Underground) from this song. I think Insane Clown Posse's THE MIDWAY has a similar theme, lyrically.

Bob was one of the original protest singers, starting as a solo singer/guitarist in the early 60's. It's mostly about the lyrics, but he wrote many memorable tunes that have been covered by everyone in the business. For instance, All Along the Watchtower, covered famously by Jimi Hendrix.

I've listened to Dylan for about 60 years. He's the poetic conscience of my generation. So, so many meeaningful songs-many many are political or social commentary- others of a starkly personal nature. Some just fun stuff as well like Lily and the jJack of Hearts. Other comments have made a number of great suggestions for you. I haven't seen Tangled Up in Blue mentioned. For railing against racial injustic several have mentioned Hurricane, but also give an early Dylan song The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrroll.

There's a reason he won the Nobel Prize for LITERATURE. Bob Zimmerman changed his last name to honor the linguistic genius of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. I'd say he lived up to it pretty well. "Maggie's Farm" is another gem from the album this one is on. But I would say you "MUST" hear "Like a rolling stone." With lyrics available, if possible. The story of a snooty young socialite who decides it would be fun to "slum it" in the Streets, but finds a much darker reality than she expected. "Brilliant" isn't nearly a strong enough word.

Darius, I can only echo what remisgrach said below. You're just a wonderful fabulous inspiring young person! Thanks for that! Now I'm a huge Beatles fan and occasionally delve into Dylan, such as now thanks to you. I HIGHLY recommend you do Dylan's "Positively 4th St Blues," which, though written 45 years before social media, could be used by any teenager today who gets mobbed on social media as a perfect retort to bullies and two faced so-called "friends." Lots of love to you, D!

Dylan was greatly influenced by the Beat Poets, so that gives his lyrics (in this song in particular) the rap-like rhyme, rhythm, and flow. Dylan was so far ahead of his time it almost seems like he's not even human. He was doing rap in the 1960s. Check out It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding. But Dylan is far more than rap. Listen to All Along the Watchtower. The Times They are A'Changin. Like A Rolling Stone. Things Have Changed. Blind Willie McTell (you really need to listen to this song). He's written hundreds and influenced everyone who heard him. I've seen him in concert three times. The man with the beard who crosses the street after Dylan drops the last card is Allen Ginsberg, a beat poet who wrote one of the most famous poems ever called Howl (I encourage you to read it). Dylan is the only singer/songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Your journey down this rabbit hole has just begun.

I think the album this song is on, Bringing It All Back Home, would be a great introduction to his 60s stuff in general. Because half of it is his full band rock n roll stuff he focused on in 65 and 66, and half is the acoustic folk stuff that characterised his first four albums.

Regarding the production… Dylan was unfussy about production back then. At this time he worked fast in the studio and getting the feel down on tape was the key I think. Get some players together that he liked, show them the song in the studio, run through it a few times, change it up if he felt like it and cut it. On to the next song. He was definitely on the move artistically. Slippery, funny and cagey.

I'll give you the albums to listen to man. Dylan's first record is great. Lots of covers and he was still coming into his own, but it's worth a listen. His next 7 are classics: The Freewheelin Bob Dylan, The Times they are a Changin, Another Side of Bob Dylan, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding. Some other stand outs from later on in his career are Blood on the Tracks, and Desire. Other than that you're probably better off sticking to tracks than albums but you can't go wrong with those albums. also I saw you react to Zeppelin. Their next 2 House's of the Holy and Physical Graffiti will be worth checking out. Still a part of their classic period. Presence and In Through the Out Door aren't as good but still worth listening to if you're a Zeppelin fan. and their last one Coda is a collection of outtakes from their whole career. Fan of the channel. I like hanging out with you whenever you show up

How did you get into the Beatles and Bob Dylan?? Its cool to see the next gen of youngins getting into 60s music. " you dont need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows " and " dont follow leaders watch the parking meters " are two of my favorite lines from this Bob Dylan song. Also if you havent delved into any of the Beatles solo work after they broke up in April 1970 you should check out George Harrison's first solo release also in 1970. It is a double album called "All Things Must Pass". Then check out....cuz i heard you say your digging John Lennon's work with the Beatles a bit more than Paul's songs....check out John's first solo album also from 1970 called "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band". Its very sparse as far as instrumentation goes but its very personal and very John Lennon. Its really just John playing guitar , piano , and singing with Ringo Starr playing drums and John's friend from the early Beatles days performing in Hamburg Germany Klause Voorman playing bass. John had alot of trauma as a kid growing up in Liverpool that he buried deep inside himself during the Beatles career in showbizness but right before he made this first solo album John and his wife Yoko Ono decided to go through Primal Scream therapy. The results are in the album with great songs and great emotion and honesty from John. Also you should check out Paul's best solo album from 1974 called "Band On The Run". ✌
