È uscito da alcuni giorni Kurt Cobain, il secondo singolo di Amplify Dot, brano hip hop con una base fortemente caratterizzata dall’elettronica. Il vero nome della rapper 24enne è Ashley Charles.
Si tratta praticamente di un debutto per la giovane rapper di Londra, che ha esordito alcuni anni fa, ad appena 13 anni, sul palco di un concerto di Missy Elliott con un’esibizione non prevista. Dopo alcuni mixtape e un singolo, Get Down, Amplify Dot si sta facendo conoscere anche in Italia con Kurt Cobain, brano hip hop/urban dedicato ad uno dei suoi miti musicali, il leader dei Nirvana.
L’artista ha dichiarato che i suoi modelli musicali sono le Salt’n’Pepa e, ovviamente, Missy Elliott.
In attesa della pubblicazione dell’intero album, vi proponiamo il testo e il video del singolo.
Catch him in the viper room, pine him for some Vicodine,
Leave him lying in the same position that you find him in.
I’m a fire like a liar on a hype
And I be leading by example, freedom fighters call me sylo.
Rebel for the hell of it, put a letter henny,
No, they can’t fuck with me, all these wanna be’s are said to be.
Speed through life like a getaway drive
The better days came and none ever got brighter.
The panties get tight and I bet he’s got flyier,
Got a case to the X, know that I’m going to figure.
Selling no buyer but I buy it for tonight.
Tell the bartender put a couple bottles on ice.
Find it for the night, low seizure in the pipe,
With a tiny temper and a couple me alook alikes.
Me out in the lights, all the women grab look eye,
Playing it in parsh is the rhythm of the night.
Speed through life in a purple haze,
Live fast, die young like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
No hurt, no pain, leave earth today,
Go out with a bang like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
Catch him in a W, novel til I write this,
Wait this cool PP and his plod is cool Alison.
Got no malins but you pack ‘em when he’s dagger it,
Straight to the point with his long pipe javvel in.
We live a fast life, creating like a R9,
Must have been Janice Joplin maybe in a past life.
Whiskey in all kinds, hiffing up to Dark Knight,
While I stay far from the white, no aparty.
And the drinks so naughty,
I couldn’t give a shit like a torture on the party.
Boogering nobody, I’m a hottie you’re for truly,
Till the current resign me with a coffin for my body.
Life in the fast lane, white when we parlay
Hitting them clubs like a card game,
Women go hard when they party,
Stars give ‘em heartache,
Live fast, die young, doubling enclose.
Speed through life in a purple haze,
Live fast, die young like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
No hurt, no pain, leave earth today,
Go out with a bang like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
Live fast, die young,
We go hard and then we go on.
Live large, have fun,
We’ve come far, baby, we ain’t done.
Live fast, die young,
We go hard and then we go on.
Live large, have fun,
We’ve come far, baby, we ain’t done.
Speed through life in a purple haze,
Live fast, die young like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
No hurt, no pain, leave earth today,
Go out with a bang like Kurt Cobain,
Die young like Kurt Cobain,
Live fast, live fast.
