Hell Up in Harlem

As KEXP celebrates its 50th anniversary, we're looking back at the last half-century of music. Each week in 2022, KEXP pays homage to a different year and our writers are commemorating with one song from that year that resonates with them. This week, Martin Douglas writes about the thrill of being a young hip-hop fan listening to Raekwon's legendary "Purple Tape" and why Wu-Tang Clan are the Beatles of their generation.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” - Mark Twain

understand ft. D&F Domo (prod. akabluesky)

it all starts with a click
gasoline ingestion to balance my condition
this shit refines my intuition
three steps back, then dive into collision

it goes on with a beep
this producer, once a consumer,  crafts with technology
combined with handwriting,  ancient technique
rise against those who claim superiority 

I'll let the whole world debate while I innovate
but stop posting every meal you ate (wake up mate)
Who judges what's art? Oh Lord, I fall apart
Corporations teaching us how it should be done
You empowered us too much, now we are gone

They try to guard their throne
so all their money ain't gone
I try to match my thoughts to some beats
and I’ll be glad when it clicks and hits

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Unexpected DJ turned out to be the best, doesn’t matter anymore, 
East or west, no latitude is safe from my quest
Wanna feel good? Be my guest
Writing history with words from my chest

Involve powerful lawyers
Cover them with gold so they join your side
But when they get caught in my tide
They’ll feel they are all wrong and switch sides

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

It’s not about you and me, it’s way bigger
This is about the beat, a force you can’t trick
So leave me alone, feel free to move your feet
Unlike you, I am charging no fee

Unleashed AI’s full force to show what I’m capable of
Not asking for your respect, just telling you what’s next
Speeding in the fast lane, step aside so you don’t get hurt
Sit back, open your mind and relax, or I’ll knock you off track
It’s about time we solve this mess—yes!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!

Better be ready, every minute we duplicate
Wait, who’s that? It’s DJ Culebers launching his attack
Making your awarded tunes sound whack
got the Crowd talking.... bring him back!
