Anacron ft Cazal Organism, Summer Rona - Music History

from The Facelift 3: Cosmetic Characteristics by Anacron

/

about

Anacron offers a course in the examination of how one's musical upbringing can effect life, evolution, and history. Guest lecturers Cazal Organism (of The Zzyzzx) and Summer Rona assist in the assessment of these effects, offering thorough and concise explanations over an original track forged by Anacron from a classic house jam.

lyrics

[Anacron]

This fins'ta be history
The beat slump like muscular dystrophy
Defy the laws of quantum physics
Anacron from The Gallery, Cazal from Zzyzzx
Historical moments are monumentally sound
but historical sounds break monumental moments down
We've all had that moment from the past that
resurfaced in a flashback with a song
Bet you sang along / Music's so timeless
Anachronistic could specifically define this
So I write motivational raps
'cause music with meaning is bridging generational gaps
I'm with the lil' homies; ShortBus, Milky (Way), and Zack (Sekoff)
Back to the future, to the future and back
The tracks that I make create a place for me in history
so when I'm past, the present keeps listening

[Summer Rona + Anacron]
And the music keeps on playing
On and on

[Cazal Oganism]
Gorillaz and Dilla, growing up, foundation
Pops me up on the Zulu, the Nation
It was fantastic, Tony Hawk video
Game sound track, had Loot Pack
There was dope, and of course, the wack
But the kid knew who had the illest, tracks
Don't let it go to my head though
Brand Nubian, Gang Starr, made me 7
At 11 I was bumpin, Gwen and Pharrell
Bussa Buss, Roots, Doom, Jarel
E 40, slayer, metallica, snoop
Learn from Black Moon how to wrip any booth
It's truth. Jay and B drove me crazy
Outkast Stereolab could save me
Maybe it's Lupe, made me this way
Props like these? Dues I must pay. Peace

[Anacron]
I played vinyl out my folk's collection
Jazz on Crenshaw / Leimert Park section
Thursday nights, 1580 KDAY
Good Life mainstay, underground hey-day
Hip Hop and soul, funk and jazz
I'd even rip rock and roll, punk, and mash
out to Martin's Records twice a week for crate digging
Building up an arsenal of beats for late gigging
In the 90's, we was open minded
hunting down all the underground dope and find it
It wasn't easy; we ain't had iTunes
I had to ditch school and catch the bus to buy tunes
The effort cultivated an appreciation
That's what's missing from today's generation
'Cause nothing ever felt the same as ripping cellophane,
sitting back, and reading jackets / bumping something mellow, mayne
