One of the first lyrical secrets that Jigga uses in order to, what I call “cover a lot of lyrical ground”, is what I think of as “space travel”. Space travel is where a lyricist takes images from different eras or locations of his or her lifestyle and describes them tightly together in just a few bars… …In order to illustrate years, even decades, of their experience in just a few short words. We’ll be giving a LOT of examples of each step in this video, so keep reading, but as a first quick lyric to show you what we mean, consider the first couple of bars of Jay-Z’s classic street anthem, “Hard Knock Life”: “From standing on the corners bopping… To driving some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen For dropping some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard From the d*** spot, with the smoked G**** Fleeing the m***** scene… you know me well” Jay-Z, “Hard Knock Life” Now notice there – Jay-Z has described both his current massive financial and critical success as a rapper while simultaneously describing in vivid detail what his life USED to be like… during his hard knock life in just FOUR short bars. The reason takes a lot of skill and why Jay-Z is considered an innovator in this regard is that most average or amateur rappers take entire verses, sometimes entire songs to cover the same amount of “lyrical ground”… …While also not making it as catchy. To use another example, if you were to ask a lesser skill artist to describe their early life in the ghetto, they might drop some very matter-of-fact and expected bars like, “I’m from the hood, where we all is broke… But even though I had to hustle them thangs, I still had hope” or something just simple like that. Now, Jay-Z in the other hand would use his lyrical tactic of “space travel” to describe an entire movie scene of street activity involving himself, black market selling of stolen furniture from fiends, family dynamics of the projects, and even the insects in his rough environment ALL in six bars: “I was raised in the projects, roaches and rats Smokers out back, selling their mama’s sofas Lookouts on the corner, focused on the ave Ladies in the window, focused on the kinfolk Me under a lamppost, why I got my hand closed? That’s in my palm, watching the long arm of the law So you know I seen it all before” Jay-Z, “Izzo”
What makes that particular passage even more interesting is those lyrics are from a decidedly “chart-chasing” single, which we normally think of as simply reserved lighthearted braggadocios bars with no substance… …While Jay-Z through his “space travel” technique has been able to describe an actual serious topic of poverty… without OVERWHELMING the song with too much deep stuff, like many lesser artists do. To wrap up the section of “space travel” let’s look a very similar usage of this tactic on another chart-topping single that mainly should just be fun and light, however Jay manages to interweave, yet again, his past life with his future success in a few short lines: “Yeah I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca Right next to De Niro, but I’ll be hood forever I’m the new Sinatra, and since I made it here I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere I used to cop in Harlem – hola, my Dominicanos Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald’s Took it my stash spot, 560 State Street Catch in me in the kitchen, like a Simmons whippin’ pastry Cruisin’ down 8th street, off-white Lexus…” Jay-Z, “Empire State of Mind”
You now see that Hov’ has yet again taken us from hanging out with Robert Dinero to doing activities in the 1980’s in the streets of Brooklyn, all on a #1 anthem. FULL ARTICLE CONTINUED: https://ift.tt/3kjRzgs Source
