This podcast is all about understanding Hip-Hop lyrics from different perspectives and extracting meaning from them. It's not all entertainment, these are real people with very real lives trying to get a message across, oftentimes in the only way they know.
It's been a little over 23 years since JAY-Z released his 4th album - Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter.
His song "Anything" which was originally featured on Beanie's album was included in the European version of Vol. 3 and follows a similar style to Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem).
In this episode, I explore some of the bars from the 3rd verse. It definitely can be explored in much more depth but we all know how far that rabbit hole can go.
Share with your JAY-Z fan friends, we've all got one of those!
You can find the video version on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyCiYO_t_so) if you prefer to watch rather than listen.
