Tanya Morgan feat. Outasight - "All 'Em" (Booomerang-kampagne status: 7500+)


Vi har nu bevæget os over 75% mærket, og jagten på de sidste og afgørende 25% af kampagnen er sat i gang. Jeg skylder altså endnu et nummer, og da landet i skrivende stund er ramt af "grå søndag" syndromet, har jeg valgt et nummer, der er laid back og afslappet som en søndag bør være, men også opløftende og livligt, så gråvejret får lidt modspil.

Tanya Morgan, der oprindeligt bestod af tre rappere, men som i 2013 "kun" bestod af DonWill og Von Pea, udgav sidste år det sublime album Rubber Souls, der fik en 9. plads på min års-liste. "All 'Em" er én af mange guldklumper fra en plade.
     I min verden sker det ikke ofte, at det er det kække og vittige nummer om at score damer, der ender som personlig favorit fra en hiphop-udgivelse. Ikke desto mindre er "All 'Em" en sand perle. Det skyldes dels Von Pea og DonWill's ubesværede flows, deres kække humor og kløgtige referencer til fx A Tribe Called Quest. Men det skyldes også gæste-sanger Outasight's over-lækre crooner-omkvæd, der læner sig op ad en André3000'sk lyd, og så naturligvis producer 6th Sense's elegante produktion, der bæres op af et varmt guitar-riff og sparsom perkussion, samt blæsere og let svævende keys i omkvædet.  

Samtidig er "All 'Em" en reminder om, at hiphop ikke altid behøver at være dybt, ambitiøst, indviklet eller udfordrende på den ene eller anden måde. Nu har jeg tidligere fremhævet Shad's "Love Means", Prolyphic's "Six Feet High" og Denmark Vessey's "Cult Classic" fra LEFTOVERS2013; alle mesterlige skæringer, som bærer et unikt særpræg. Men sådan skal hiphop ikke nødvendigvis lyde. Der skal også være plads til mere "smalle" numre, der er hamrende godt skåret uden at have de store armbevægelser.


I like em brown, yellow, Puertro Rican or Hatian
Black, white or Mediterranean

Middle Eastern or Asian
Alls I'm sayin, Alls I'm sayin
I like em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican, or Hatian

Alls I'm sayin, Alls I'm sayin

Donwill
Instinct is saying go with my gut (go with your gut)
I ain't the type to run up like, "what up!?" (ay whatup?)
It's fight or flight and the battle is love
I'm tryin to win or live to fight again
At the first sight of skin it's like the hood go crazy
Her eye contact read like "she OK'ed me"
But hey let's say we get a bit more familiar
You should meet Donald if you like Donwill 
Uhhhhhhhh
Kinda corny I guess but it was worth the smile
I'm doing numbers right now just tryin to work the crowd
I'm new in town quite often, I move around
Like a new school Pac, Digital Underground
Eff the runaround is you is or is you ain't?
As for babes gotta Flacka Flames' hard in the paint
I can't complain it's lookin good, bet you make it better
Let's see what you can do... If I let ya
(And if I let ya)

She went out west to Hollywood
To be a star, didn't get too far no
And now she's right back in the hood
With all them girls yeah
This one's for you!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
All them girls around the world
And then I say
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
All them girls around the world
Now I don't know much about wine, suits or fine dining, but
I'll bet a G on the spot and I'll find it
No lie chick, I ain't too shy to tro shit
Don't be too fly for my shit
Imma keep a eye on it like Mishka
Til I'm in root like I root for the 6's
I get over and you're actin' all casual
But you've straightened up your bedroom, haven't you?
Listen y'all, I was schooled in the first grade
Forget game, she already got her mind made
I dig you, so after I'll stay
Order take-out and watch the out-takes
I ain't scared of it, I'm aware of it
I've invested and bought shares of it
You inspire me
Your other half is what I strive to be
They don't get it, that's fine with me

She went out west to Hollywood
To be a star, didn't get too far no
And now she's right back in the hood
With all them girls yeah
This one's for you!

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
All them girls around the world
And then I say
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
All them girls around the world

I like em brown, yellow, Puertro Rican or Hatian
Black, white or Mediterranean
(ALL EM!)
Middle Eastern or Asian
Alls I'm sayin, Alls I'm sayin
I like em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican, or Hatian
Black, white or Mediterranean
(ALL EM!)
Middle Eastern or Asian
Alls I'm sayin, Alls I'm sayin

All them girls around the world
All them girls around the world, this one's for you
All them girls around the world, this one's for you
All them girls around the world
for you, and you, and you and you
