Band Aid

[Guest fultie]

i think the "do they even know it's christmas?" line makes Africa look stupid

maybe that's just me

..not saying Africa IS stupid..

Like his music or not, you surely can't deny the talent weighted in his words - instead of rapping about money, girls etc he conveys something darker, a touch more real. He's like the Phillip Larkin of rap.

Has anyone got the Live Aid dvd? I'm considering picking it up for the Queen set which I heard was awesome.

From Brand New Day:

Looks like I'm losing mates,

There's a lot of hostility near my gates.

We used to fight with kids from other estates,

Now 8mm settle debates.

From Get By:

We grew up in the ghetto, saw real life pain.

Real life struggle with real life strain.

Real life kiddies with real life guns

and real life mothers lose real life sons.

From Showtime:

This was clearly a positive sign,

Learning 'bout beats, breaks and bars.

Didn't chat about champagne and cars,

More concerned with, you know, the grime.

Made it a touch difficult to shine,

Among these so called called underground stars,

Some resented him, thus presenting him with pure dumbness like retards.

There, the good more than outweights the bad.

Why, it rhymes?

He's not say anything new or innovative.

Anyway, this is about Band Aid. Fults, think the Do they know it's christmas line is more in reference that they have the same sturggles i.e. hunger, poverty, regardless of the time period. They don't know it';s Christmas because they can't celebrate it.
