Eric B. & Rakim - Lyrics of Fury

[Fade]

You know, when I was in high school, this album came out and I thought I was all cool because I was the only one with this cassette. I heard this song and immediately freaked out because it's so gutter. I even played it on the radio station at my high school, but first I had to get it past the principal.

She wanted a list of the songs that we would play, so for this one I had to explain that "FURY" did not mean "MURDER" or "I'M GOING TO MURDER EVERYONE BECAUSE OF THIS SONG". Anyway, I played it and it's a dope song.

For much of my adult life i looked at this song and Kool G Raps Men at Work as the highest form of lyricism.

No doubt. There's a few singles on that album that are amazing.
