Hip-Hop Legend ICE CUBE Returns To ‘ARREST THE PRESIDENT’..

Vibes that make us scream

24 November 2018

What took you so long Mister O’Shea Jackson aka ICE CUBE to slam that ‘Me Myself and I ‘ idiot in The White House, the man who turned the USA into the Divided Nations Of America? Anyway welcome back, motherapper. Here’s ARREST THE PRESIDENT, word by word…

[Intro]
Yeah
When I drop the mic it hit the floor like Thor “That’s right”
You can’t pick it up no more “Don’t even try”
Y’all know what it is, y’all know what it was “Yeah”
Y’all know what it shall be

[Verse 1]
Get smart ‘fore the s–t start
‘Fore it get dark, ‘fore they hit you with a pitchfork
Better crip walk “Crip walk”, this is real talk
Smoke Kush and push then we peel off “Eugh”
N—-s still rolling with the wheels off “Eugh”
Always looking out for the crisscross
I’m a bigger boss than Rick Ross
Always winning, n—a get lost
It’s the warlord, bring the voodoo
When I bail through it’s crazy like Bellevue
What they tell you? “Leave that boy alone” Leave that boy alone
Like Home Alone “Yeah”, f–k the Skull & Bones
Arrest the president, you got the evidence
That n—a is Russian intelligence “Okay”
When it rains it pours
Did you know the new white was orange?
Boy, you’re showing your horns
They’re trying to replace my halo with thorns
You so basic with your vape stick
Let’s go apesh-t in the matrix
[Hook/Chorus]
Arrest the president, arrest the president
Arrest the president, you got the evidence “N—a”
Arrest the president, arrest the president “Crazy”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence

[Verse 2]
I took back my eyes, in all black tonight
That’s right, some n—-s gotta sacrifice
Not a criminal “No”, I’m a seminal “Yeah”
I was free once, now I’m clinical “Crazy”
You so technical, this was Mexico
Then everywhere I go is owned by Texaco “F–k them”
F–k them and the rest of you “Hell yeah”
I turn a fruit into a vegetable “Pop you m———–s out”
I’ma roll with the aliens
Man, f–k these h–o sapiens
They don’t really wanna make friends “Hell no”
All they want is a Mercedes Benz “Hell yeah”
All they want is their dividends
And that’s (?), f–k these citizens
They’ll treat us like hooligans
Throw ’em in, they don’t care what school he in
These people don’t play fair
It ain’t even fair (?) to stay fair
Give a young n—a grey hair
That’s why I’m here, make your a-s lay there
Punk, you better stay there
Close your f—–g eyes like it’s day care
Make myself clear, it ain’t Shakespeare
I’m here to take money even fake hair
So desperate is what I’m left with
For the record you’re affected
Who you elected is so (?)
So full of s–t, I can’t accept it

[Hook/Chorus]
Arrest the president “Woo”, arrest the president “Woo”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence “N—a”
Arrest the president “N—a”, arrest the president “N—a”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence “N—a”
Arrest the president “N—a”, arrest the president “N—a”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence “N—a”
Arrest the president “N—a”, arrest the president “N—a”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence

[Verse 3]
I reside on the Westside “Westside”
I murder with my third eye “Third eye”
N—-s so fly, get a bird’s eye “Ahh, ahh”
I make ’em scream bloody murder
Let’s meet at the White House “Come on”
Run in and turn the lights out
Man, they treat it like a trap house “Yeah”
These m———–s never take the trash out “Damn”
They just cash out and mash up
N—a take your drugs and pass out “Shut the f–k up”
N—-s love to go that fast route “Yeah”
I see you and your black a-s, get out
Homie, you play too much “Yeah”
(?) devils, they doing way too much “Much”
Most of ’em won’t sleep too much
Why they’re steady planing? God knows what “God knows what”
That’s why I roll with the real ones
Real ones trying to reach millions
Real ones trying to make billions
Real ones dressed like surveillance

[Hook/Chorus]
Arrest the president, arrest the president
Arrest the president, you got the evidence “Woo”
Arrest the president “Woo”, arrest the president “Woo”
Arrest the president, you got the evidence

THE YADA YADA YADAS Are Full Of Electric Love-Driven ‘HUMAN EMOTION’…

Vibes that make us scream

23 November 2018

Band: THE YADA YADA YADAS (craziest name of the month)

Who: From Durham, UK here’s “a band who have truly mastered the craft of writing beautifully silly pop songs, and burying them deep beneath piles of dirt, feedback, and uncompromisingly creamy fuzz.”

Track: HUMAN EMOTION – new single – a song “about a future full of brains in jars and living in a black mirror episode, yet it somehow comes back round to being a love song, as
all music does. I also feel like ‘Human Emotion’ is the most 80’s title for a song we could have thought of, and it really adds to the nostalgic feel”
says the band

Score: Imagine swaggering legends The Charlatans teaming up with the idiosyncratic Flaming Lips for a sweet love song injected with an avalanche of multi-layered, far-out guitar eruptions. Fully charged, desirous and touching, all at the same time. Experience
the ardent, human emotions right here…

FUN LOVIN’ CRIMINALS Feat. ROWETTA Gonna Catch Up When It’s ‘DAYLIGHT’…

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

FUN LOVIN CRIMINALS are back from being never away. On 18 January the funky New York hip-hoppers will release the follow-up to their 1999 compilation LP Mimosa.. Simply entitled ANOTHER MIMOSA the album “is a continuation of a long tradition of the FLC paying homage to those great songwriters that we stand on the shoulders of. From our love of hip-hop, to soul to jazz and rock we humbly offer our fans another taste of our unique cocktail.” says frontman Huey Morgan.

Ahead of the LP’s launch comes smooth taster DAYLIGHT. It’s FLC’s interpretation of the 1975 hit by the late great soul voice Bobby Womack. A chill-out song about that feel good state of mind after a night out. The Criminals definitely knew why they called the wonderful Rowetta (long-time member of the mad Happy Mondays, besides countless collaborations with high-profile artists) to do the backing vocals. Her characterful bluesy Motown vox fits the mood of this crooning vibe perfectly. Now, sit back, relax, dim the lights and enjoy…

Scottish Rockers IDLEWILD Looking At ‘A FILM FOR THE FUTURE’ Back In 1998

Clips that have a lasting impact on Turn Up The Volume’s eyes and ears…

‘A Film For The Future’ by IDLEWILD
Most furious outburst Nirvana never wrote…

This is a film about the future
It it the future of your life
You think it’s certain
But nothing is certain
No nothing is certain
But nothing is certain

TUBEWAY ARMY – Debut LP Released 40 Years Ago…

Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

23 November 2018

Band: TUBEWAY ARMY

Album: Self-titled debut

Released: 24 November 1978 – 40 years ago

ALL MUSIC wrote: “In the past, many have felt that Numan’s debut disc didn’t measure up to his later triumphs (1979’s Replicas, 1980’s Telekon, etc.), but listening to it today, you discover that it’s the most underrated of all his early albums. Numan & the Tubeway Army were one of the first new wave/punk bands (along with Kraftwerk and Devo) to successfully fuse robotic synthesizers with rock & roll. Gary Numan’s guitar riffing is more prominent here than on any other of his albums, which gives the tunes a splendid Ziggy Stardust feel at times. Kicking things off with several strong compositions…”
Full review here – Score: 4/5

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: The startling start of Gary Numan‘s long and
electro-colorful career and the pre-birth of countless Numanoids worldwide.
