主题：【原创】一个说唱 -- 爱自由

在我办公室的电脑里存了近百首歌和曲。我喜欢带着耳机边听音乐边干活。音乐的Playlist由我根据心情每隔几天调整一次。在这百首歌曲中有新老摇滚，唧歪抒情，还有一首说唱RAP。这仅存的一首RAP在我的Playlist上面上榜率还颇高。我相信你也会喜欢上它的。

这是Fort-Minor乐队的一首名曲Remember the Name. 这首曲子曾被选为2006年NBA季候赛的主题曲。2007赛季, TNT电视台向全美转播NBA比赛时还是用的这首曲子作为背景音乐。我第一次听到它就是去年看NBA比赛时，当时我还在体育竞技版写过一篇短文链接出处。

Fort-Minor 并不活跃，因为他的核心人物Mike Shinoda 并未把它当作自己的主力部队。Shinoda 的主力部队是一个叫做 Linkin Park 的摇滚乐队。该乐队新金属风格已定，曾获得过两次格莱美奖，相当成功。Shinoda 想与几个朋友一起玩一下hip-hop风格所以才另组了这支偏师Fort-Minor.

这个乐队的成员都是Shinoda的朋友，都是一些圈子里头成名的人。Shinoda 是个日本名字（河里会日语的朋友帮忙翻一下），他是个日匈混血。这个乐队有点玩音乐的性质，从他们的这首曲子就能看得出来。这首曲子中，几个主要的成员Mike (Shinoda), Ryu, Takbir 都指名道姓的分别出场，歌词里没有什么深刻哲学和愤世嫉俗，有的是作为说唱者之间的惺惺相惜和相互调侃。

废话少说，听歌。下面附有歌词：

Remember The Name

You ready?! Lets go!

Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about

It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

[Chorus]

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!

Mike! - 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 all about reality and making some noise

Makin the story - makin sure his clique stays up

That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!

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 to him despite the fact

That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin raps

Put it together himself, now the picture connects

Never askin for someone's help, to get some respect

He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach

And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

It's just twenty percent skill

Eighty percent fear

Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill

Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames

And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"

Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church

I like bleach man, why you have 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!

[Chorus]

They call him Ryu The Sick

And he's spittin fire with Mike

Got him out the dryer he's hot

Found him in Fort Minor with Tak

Been a fuckin annihilist porcupine

He's a prick, he's a cock

The type woman 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 wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat

Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block

He knows how to work with what he's got

Makin his way to the top

People think its a common owners name

People keep askin him was it given at birth

Or does it stand for an acronym?

No he's livin proof, Got him 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 doin 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, those kids that he signed?

Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!

[Chorus - repeat 2x]

[Outro - Mike Shinoda]

Yeah! Fort Minor

M. Shinoda - Styles of Beyond

Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop!
