Re: pop culture references to mushrooms [Re: pattern]
    #1547324 -

All this talk of eminem reminds me of his equally shitty predecessor, Vanilla Ice. I heard a vanilla ice song the other day, 'Ice Ice Baby' (for some reason it seems to have become semi-popular again amongst the jock crowd)...anyway I heard something about a mushroom in there so I just looked up the lyrics and I see that a lot of bits in this song has a weird sort of anti drug vibe, then he cracks out the lines like 'If my rhyme was a drug, i'd sell it by the gram' and other such egotistical eminem style 'Look! We're ripping you off, you stupid consumers, and I'm so fucking cool thats why you like me' kinda stuff....anyway here's the lyrics if anyone is interested...I have made bits that I think are drug references or just sound sort of drug-ish in italics...

"Ice Ice Baby"

Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!

Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

Dance, Bum rush the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi
Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead

Yo -- so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out geting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're so full of "Eight Ball"
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine -- All I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, You know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, You, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla

Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, "damn"
If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem, Yo -- I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while Deshay revolves it.

Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla

Yo man -- Let's get out of here! Word to your mother!

Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold
Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold

LOL shit... man I never really knew the lyrics to that song.

BTW, He totally ripped that riff off some song 'under pressure'

erm, well I was watching something about vanilla ice, I think it was 'one hit wonders' or something on VH1 and they had a snippet of an interview with vanilla ice where he's like "Oh, I didn't rip that riff... that song is dadada da dada and mine is dadada dada dada"... well it's kinda hard to say in writing LOL (unless you people can read music, cuz I could write it out)

Eminem is good at what he does which is rhyming, his music doesn't really talk about anything extremely important most of the time.

I don't think you understand...Em can write some pretty dope lyrics. His multi-syllable word play is off the wall sometimes. But the thing is, there are so many underground cats that are way better than him, they just don't get the same recognition. My friend Brandon would probably beat eminem in a battle, Brandon's fuckin' insane on the mic. But he's just doin his thing on the local underground level. And that's the way it is.

But ya... Infinite is em's best album. He didn't use 150,000 dollars worth of equipment to make it either. It was a low level release with a low budget. If you think that equipment has EVERYTHING to do with the quality of music, then you are definitely wrong. My friends make beats with Casio keyboards and Fruity Loops that bring way more heat than some drum machine/sampler made beats. And it takes production skills to use all the equipment. Someone has to add a little reverb to that, increase the attack and decrease the decay on this, etc. I doubt you could just walk up in a multi hundred thousand dollar studio and make an ill track, beats and vocals. Whoever was doubting eminem's skills really doesn't know much about hip hop, at all.

In fact, i don't even listen to Eminem that much, because there are emcees way iller than him. I heard an interview with eminem, where he said something like "Nah, i just write a bunch of throw away lines, record em, and put em on the album...but when it comes to real hip hop, you know i'm still coming hard".

Man, the band 'Incubus' is all over MTV right now with their pop/alt-metal stuff, but they used to be a hippie funk-rock band. Their first album is called 'Fungus Amongus' and it has a big picture of an amanita muscaria on it. They have a song on it called psychopsilocybin.

Lol, You really missed what I was trying to say. I will clarify once more, and feel free to ask any questions about my post's. Eminem does have skills at making rhymes. He can make a beat ( just like anybody else with the software you suggested) But he does not use any of his talent in his music. He writes his music to sell to a target audience. He targets teen age white suburbia, to all of the misguided teens around the states. He did have skills when he was on the streets, but now he learned that in order to make the millions you have to preform what sells. I consider this type of behavior typical of a sell out as well(but this is my problem, not yours so don't get all defensive about it). This happens quite often in the music industry, just look at Back street Boy's, N-sync, 98 degrees. They are all produced as well. Just because Slim puts a few extra tracks in his CD's where he get's bitched at by his producer does not mean that is how it happened, He was probably suggested the idea by some of Aftermath's(Interscope at the time of his first albums) market research team after they analyzed his music and decided how best to sell him. I am not saying this is how it happened but I have seen similar marketing strategies used before in my experience. All in all, he is just another corporate slave.

you're missing the point of eminem. he lived with his mom till he was 23. he is speaking to the demographic to which he belongs. do you criticise mariyn manson, all of punk rock, jam bands, etc, because they make music that appeals to there audience? if eminem was such a sellout, he would've made more self depreciating, catchy and formulaic songs like "my name is". instead, he made a record full of what he felt, then added the catchy single later (real slim shady) to please the higher ups. I think that people who talk shit about eminem are just suffering from penis envy. and since when are MC's responsible for making their own beats?

Man, flush i agree with you. Eminem is selling out. What i'm saying is that he still has skill. Mystikal, Ja Rule, etc. are sell outs, and they never had and probably never will have skill.

Terry Pratchett, Small Gods.

Quote:

"Any mushrooms in these parts?" said Brutha innocently.

St. Ungulant nodded happily.

"After the annual rains, yes. Red ones with yellow spots. The desert becomes really interesting after the mushroom season."

"Full of giant purple singing slugs? Talking pillars of flame? Exploding giraffes? That sort of thing?" said Brutha carefully.

"Good heavens, yes," said the saint. "I don't know why. I think they're attracted by the mushrooms."

Strumpling said:
I liked the Smurfs reference to Mushrooms:

Old man Gargamel was walking through the forest one day when he discovered a mushroom patch.

After uhh.. "closer examination, :wink:" he realized that little blue men live in these mushrooms!! Since this was such an amazing discovery, he HAD to try and capture at least one of these little blue men so he could show it to his friends to prove he wasn't completely insane.

Unfortunately for old man Gargemel, the little blue men, or "smurfs," only existed in his shroomed-out mind.

:smile: 


I'm sorry to bump a very old post but they are called "Schtroumpfs", this post is even more remarkable with the subtitles on.

also, El-P is a far better producer and rapper than eminem, he says he's too lucid because of the shrooms in his blood.
