Seharusnya
segmen ini sudah di update sejak minggu kemarin. Karena alien menyerang perut
jadilah aku mogok nulis satu harian. Apa sebenarnya tantangan dalam menulis
blog dengan tema yang sudah di tentukan tiap harinya? Writers Block this is the worst virus that a lot of wirters been
affected about. Ya, walaupun bukan
penulis pro yang sudah handal sekali mmberikan berbagai rekomnedasi lau – lagu
bagus, aku juga harus tetap menulis semaksimal mungkin, karna hanya ada satu
cara untuk menjadi penulis handal; rajin melatih menulis.
So,
what song I will talking about before we going to sleep today?
It’s
Fort Minor~~~ Yay!!! Lagu ini
tiba tiba saja terlintas dalam kepala beberapa waktu lalu ketika sedang
melanjutkan misi mendapatkan mimpi terbesar dalam hidup, mimpi yang selalu saja
membuat hati berada di antara menyerah atau lanjut a.k.a Gegana hehehehhe. Fort Minor memang merupakan salah satu lagu yang
tidak akan pernah bisa berpisah
dengan handphone.
Remember The Name adalah salah satu lagu yang pernah
membantu mempertahankan mood bosterku ketika menyusun skripsi jaman dahulu
kala, ketika dimana makanan sehari – hari adalah kamus kanji yang tebalnya
setebal dosa hehehe, Remember Then Name is my remedy dududud~~
Bagiku pribadi Remember The Name menceritakan tentang
segala hal haruslah dimulai dengan usaha awal, we need to started everything
from the zero line. Tidak pernah ada short cut
ketika kau ingin menjadi sesuatu, tidak ada jalan pintas untuk sampai
kedapa mimpi – mimpimu. Pencapaain yang mulia adalah pencapaian yang kau
dapatkan dari susah payah dan tangisan darah.
Lirik
lagu ini dengan jelas menceritakan proses karir yang mereka jalani, bahwa
mereka mengawali semuanya dari bawah, berlatih, dan terus bekerja keras
sehingga menjadi salah – satu artist
yang layak dihrgai karya – karyanya. Sebagian juga berpendapat bahwa lagu ini
tidak hanya menceritakan diri mereka pribadi, tetapi juga menceritakan beberapa
musisi yang keberhasilannya patut dihargai karena kerja kerasanya dan dedikasinya
dalam berkarya seni. Sebut saja Eminem yang merupakan salah satu Rapper yang
struggling untuk mencapai puncak kejayaan. Eminem menjadi salah satu Rapper
yang karya – karyanya di terima dengan sangat baik.
Tidak
hanya Eminem, masyarakat maya juga menyebut beberapa nama yang proses karirnya
patut di acungi jempol seperti Dr.dre yangmana merupakan produser yang banyak
memproduksi musisi – musisi hadal, atau t-mac yang mengawali karirnya pada
tahun 97.
Secara
kesuluruhan lagu ini mengandung; 1) pesan motivasi kepada semua orang untuk
menjadi lebih baik lagi adalah bukan hal yang mustahil. 2)dan memberikan
beberap contoh musisi yang pada akhirnya dapat menjadi lebih baik. Ini lagu yang tercipta untuk menghargai kerja
keras para musisi yang mengawali karirnya benar – benar dari garis yang paling
bawah.
You ready?! Let's go!
Yeah, for those of you that wanna know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon)
This is ten percent
luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
He doesn't need his
name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But fuck 'em, he knows the code, it's not about the salary
It's about reality and making some noise
Making a story, making sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down, Tak's pickin' it up
Who the hell is he
anyway, he never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin' them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin' from writing raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote; his will is beyond reach
And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist
This is twenty
percent skill, eighty percent beer
Be a hundred percent clear 'cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
Then heard him wreckin' with The Crystal Method, Name Of The Game
Came back, dropped Megadef, took 'em to church
I like bleach, man, Ryu had the stupidest verse
This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin' him guest spots
His stock's through the roof; I heard he fuckin' with S-Dot
This is ten percent
luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
They call him Ryu
he's sick, and he's spittin' fire and Mike
Got him out the dryer he's hot, found him in Fort Minor with Tak
What a fuckin' nihilist porcupine; he's a prick; he's a cock
The type women want to be with and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the makin' patiently waitin' to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe
He's got a partner in crime; his shit is equally dope
You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat
He's not your every
day on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin' his way to the top
He often gets a comment on his name
People keep asking him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No, he's livin' proof that he rockin' the booth
He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent
Forget Mike, nobody
really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfuckers he runs with, the kids that he signed
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?
This is ten percent
luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
This is ten percent
luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Yeah
Fort Minor
M-Shinoda
Styles of Beyond
Ryu
