Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could give me some feedback on one rap song from the past. Rap scene over here was born with a lot of pain and hatred that's still in the air (our rappers constantly make clips dissing the other guys after the first squads fell apart). Anyway, there was this one guy called Magik (Magician) who was really standing out (he died in 2000, supposedly a suicide) and is forever cited as the best polish rapper ever, even by people who hate rap (they still like his songs).
I don't ask you to understand the text, but could anyone tell me if its any good from a technical standpoint (I don't know that much about rap myself)? I mean both DJ'ing and MC'ing technique here as I haven't really heard anything alike ever (even though the style they adapt makes a lot more sense in context with the lyrics).
I provide the text translation below the video for all the curious people.

Plus
aaaa
I minus
Plus i minus to jedyne
Plus i minus to jedyne co widzę
Plus i minus to jedyne co słyszę
Plus i minus to jedyne czym żyje
Ostrzeżenie przed niebezpieczeństwem!

Idę tam, idę sam
W tą czarną chwilę
Tyle myśli w sekund tyle
To wątpliwe, żebym czegokolwiek bał dziś się, cokolwiek
Ja to wszystko pierdolę
Wiesz i szkołę, stres, strach, kurwa mać
Czas się bać, nadszedł czas, sprawdź to, sprawdź!
Plus i minus to jak jakiś pierdolony wyrok
I sądu mego czas, pytanie: muszę zginąć?
Boże, doktorze, może pomoże ktokolwiek
Który z was mi odpowie, kto?
Czy to kara za mych grzechów sto
Tysiąc czy milion (milion)
Chuj wie ile tego było
Ale strzał, ile ja bym dał, mieć znów chciał
Problemy codziennego dnia
Całymi dniami siedzę, oglądam telewizję
Ile, ile ja bym dał byle o tym nie myśleć lecz...

Plus i minus to jedyne co widzę
Plus i minus to jedyne co słyszę
Plus i minus to jedyne czym żyję
Plus i minus to jedyne, jedyne jest!
Plus i minus, plus i minus, plus i minus
Czy to plus czy to minus był
Plus i minus, to jedyne co widzę
Ostrzeżenie przed niebezpieczeństwem!

Czy grzeję doktorku?
Nie, w żyłę nie daję
Tam marihuanę palę,
Ścierwa tez nie walę
Pytania, odpowiedzi
To jest jak spowiedź, ja
Ja już nie mogę, tak bardzo sie boję
I modlę
I cokolwiek
I biegnę i gonię życie swoje
O nie, nie!
Nie zabijaj teraz mnie!
Wiesz, że plus to oznacza dla mnie śmierć
Czy ty kumasz doktorku, że
To jest moje życie:
Kobieta, zabawa, Kaliber i trawa
I kumple, czy moi ludzie
Taka jest prawda marna, ta!
O właśnie tak, ja...
Jestem Magik I z 44
Kaliber i ciągle żyć chcę
Gdy pomyślę, że to mam, że to mogę mieć, mieć
Ile ja bym dał byle o tym nie myśleć, lecz...

Plus i minus to jedyne co widzę (jedyne, jedyne)
Plus i minus to jedyne co słyszę
Plus i minus to jedyne czym żyję
Plus i minus to jedyne, jedyne jest!
Plus i minus, plus i minus, plus i minus
Czy to plus czy to minus był
Plus i minus, to jedyne co widzę
Ostrzeżenie przed niebezpieczeństwem!
Plus i minus, plus i minus, plus i minus, czy to plus czy to minus jest!
O Boże daj, żeby to był minus!

Odliczam te dni, gdy czekam na wyrok
Jak mam dalej żyć? Może dowiem się dziś?
I - trrrrrr - telefon dzwoni i jak co dzień
Może tym razem wreszcie się dowiem!
Dziś nadszedł ten dzień, dziś nadszedł dzień
Może będzie mym najlepszym dniem, a może nie
Dziś nadszedł ten dzień, dziś nadszedł dzień
Może będzie mym najgorszym dniem, a może nie
Mój mózg płata mi figle gdy ja myślę, że plus
Jezus! Jestem na miejscu już!
Boże mój, tylko nie mów mi, że ja jestem plusem!

- Dzień dobry.
- Dzień dobry. Proszę usiąść. Numer pańskiej karty?
- 255
- Hm, no i widzi pan, powinien pan bardziej uważać...
- Proszę pana wynik, wynik... Jaki jest wynik?
- Jest to minus, jednak na przyszłość powinien
pan bardziej uważać...

O Boże, na szczęście to był minus!
O Boże, na szczęście to był minus!
Boże, na szczęście to był minus!
Plus i minus - ja już tego nie widzę, nie!
Plus i minus - ja już tym nie żyję, nie!
Plus i minus - ja już tego nie słyszę!
To wcale nie jest już jedyne, jedyne!
Dziękuję ci Boże, dziękuję!

Positive
aaaah
And negative
Positive and negative is the only
Positive and negative is the only thing I see
Positive and negative is the only thing I hear
Positive and negative is the only thing in my life
Warning against danger!

I go there, I go alone
In this black moment
So many thoughts in so many seconds
It's doubtful that I'm going to fear anything today, whatever
I fuck it all
You know, school and stress, fear, fuck it
It's time to fear, the time has come, check it, check!
Positive and negative is like some fucking sentence
And the time of my judgement, question: Do I have to die?
God, doctor, maybe someone will help
Which one of you is going to answer, who?
Is it punishment for my hundred sins
Thousand or million (million)
Who the fuck knows how many there were
What a hit, how much would I give, to have again
Everyday problems
All day I sit, watching TV
How much, how much would I give not to think of it but...

Positive and negative is the only thing I see
Positive and negative is the only thing I hear
Positive and negative is the only thing I live with
Positive and negative is the only, the only thing!
Positive and negative, positive and negatives, positive and negative
Was it positive or negative
Positive and negative, it's the only thing I see
Warning against danger!

Am I using doctor?
No, I do not inject
I do smoke marijuana,
I do not take junk either
Questions, answers
It's like a confession, I
Can't take it any more, I'm so afraid
And I pray
And whatever
And I run and I chase my life
Oh no, no!
Do not kill me now!
You know that positive means my death
Do you understand doc, that
This is my life:
Woman, fun, Kaliber and grass (Kaliber is the name of the band and grass is popular term for marijuana here)
And friends, or my people
This is the miserable truth!
Oh right, I...
Am Magik the 1st 44
Kaliber and I want to live still
When I think, that I have it, that I can have it, have
How much would I give not to think about it, but...

Positive and negative is the only thing I see (the only thing, the only thing)
Positive and negative is the only thing I hear
Positive and negative is the only thing I live with
Positive and negative is the only, the only thing!
Positive and negative, positive and negatives, positive and negative
Was it positive or negative
Positive and negative, it's the only thing I see
Warning against danger!
Positive and negative, positive and negative, is it positive or negative!
God please, let it be negative!

I count the days, when I'm waiting for the sentence
How am I to live on? Perhaps I'll know today?
I -rrrrriiiinggg- the phone rings like every day
Perhaps this time I'll finally know!
Today is the day, today is the day
Perhaps it will be the best day, or perhaps not
Today is the day, today is the day
Perhaps it will be the worst day, or perhaps not
My mind is playing tricks on me when I think it's positive
Jesus! I'm already at the spot!
My God, just don't tell me that I'm positive!

"Good morning."
"Good morning. Please seat down. The number of your card?"
"255"
"Hmm, you see, you should be more careful..."
"Please sir, result, result... What's the result?"
"It's negative, but you should be more careful in the future..."

Oh God, what luck, it was negative!
Oh God, what luck, it was negative!
God, what luck, it was negative!
Positive and negative - I don't see it any more, no!
Positive and negative - I don't live with it any more, no!
Positive and negative - I don't hear it any more, no!
It's not the only, the only!
Thank you God, thank you!


I really wish there were more bands with lyrics that would be even close to that. Sadly, in the past 10 years or so I rarely see anything even remotely comparable.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

I really wish there were more bands with lyrics that would be even close to that. Sadly, in the past 10 years or so I rarely see anything even remotely comparable.


In terms of production and delivery it sounds very Wu Tang influenced to me (RZA, their producer did some of the most influential stuff of the 90's), like to my ears it's not too far away from sounding like it's coming off of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx which has some of the most memorable and awesome beats ever.



On the more more indie/experimental "out there" (and also paranoid--coming from the lyrics also) bent, the Def Jux label and the producer El-P's style came to mind (which is a sound that was definitely highly influenced by the brooding Wu Tang style, it jumped off from there to make really crazy sound textures to use as beats)


Personally I like it but as a "sometimes" style. I can't wallow in paranoia all the time.
So I'll also post this:
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

@ ZapRoffo: You seem like a pretty knowledgeable person when it comes to rap. Since I like to explore different kinds of music and am currently hell-bent on finding some more US rap I could really like (big fan of Public Enemy and RZA), could you point me towards MCs who deliver lyrics at a slightly faster pace? Preferably some good lyrics too, not any more of "bitches, money and gangsta life" if you know what I mean.

I noticed that most rappers drop their text slow and heavy. And I don't want Eminem of course or the likes of MC Det (not that I don't like him, I'm just a bit tired of D&B/Skibadee right now). Something more like that (I guess I tend to like E over W style, but that's just a wild guess as I'm pretty noob when it comes to rap):



Edit: Just realised this are still 90's Is there something more "fresh"?

Alright man I don't really care for rap/hip-hop (I know there's differences yadyayaaTHEFUCKEVERMAN) but this kid is fucking amazing. Just about every song he's come out with (Culdesac+) is so good.

Still a fan of the original, but my favorite by far is the Town:

Don't be too quick to judge ganster rap. Some of these songs are actually heart felt songs by people growing up in a messed up situation. Other rappers might not be very strong lyrically but excell in delivery of emotions.

@ ZapRoffo: You seem like a pretty knowledgeable person when it comes to rap. Since I like to explore different kinds of music and am currently hell-bent on finding some more US rap I could really like (big fan of Public Enemy and RZA), could you point me towards MCs who deliver lyrics at a slightly faster pace? Preferably some good lyrics too, not any more of "bitches, money and gangsta life" if you know what I mean.

I noticed that most rappers drop their text slow and heavy. And I don't want Eminem of course or the likes of MC Det (not that I don't like him, I'm just a bit tired of D&B/Skibadee right now). Something more like that (I guess I tend to like E over W style, but that's just a wild guess as I'm pretty noob when it comes to rap):

Edit: Just realised this are still 90's Is there something more "fresh"?


army of the pharoahs #1

if you like fast, tech n9ne is pretty fast but he has a TON of shit and a lot of it is garbage(especially his newer shit)

also since you like rza check out gravediggaz, they were mentioned earlier

maybe consider checking out deltron 3030/hieroglyphics/ souls of mischief etc
