この「Song Cry」は２００１年９月１１日（世界同時多発テロ事件と同日）にリリースされたアルバム収録楽曲ですが，この曲のおおもととなっている曲は，美しきまさに名曲（名曲をサンプリングにしたからこそジェイＺの名曲が生まれたという，なんというビート・プロデューサーのセンス！）である，ボビー・グレン（Bobby Glenn）の１９７６年リリースの楽曲「Sounds Like A Love Song」を元ネタにしています。
前回のお約束通り，マック・ミラー（Mac Miller）の楽曲「Frick Park Market」（対訳）をお届けします。
[Intro]
Uhh, let me get a turkey sandwich, uh lettuce tomato (bitch)
（イントロ）
ターキーのサンドイッチ１つ，レタスとトマトも入れてくれ（ビッチ）
[Verse 1]
My name Mac Miller, who the fuck are you
Well my crew too live but I ain’t Uncle Luke
And I ain’t no hipster, but girl I can make your hips stir
From Pittsburgh, smoke papers or a swisher
Welcome to the Cam Rellim chronicles
Looking out my monocle
I’m dodging obstacles, I gamble like the Bellagio
You cock-a-roach, I’m heroin cause everything I talk is dope
Type to leave it clean and fucking shiny word to Mop & Glo
Tryin’ to get a mansion ain’t nobody here gon’ find my room
Money gonna be green I guarantee you that my slide stay blue
So press play, I start from scratch and never use no template
The next day these losers always goin’ with whats trendy
My pen game is something these motherfuckers have never seen
All City Champion everybody is second string
No need to testify (testify) for the best is I (best is I)
And anybody in my way goin’ to be left to die
[Hook]
I’mma feed the world you can put it on my tab
Run until my legs go numb, I don’t plan on looking back
Anything you need you can find it at the market
If you don’t hold me down, for all I care, you can starve bitch
I’mma feed the world you can put it on my tab
Run until my legs go numb, I don’t plan on looking back
Anything you need you can find it at the market
Anything you need you can find it at the market
[Verse 2]
I got my own stickers now so literally I’m everywhere
Hundred different shoes still feel the need to cop a fresher pair
These motherfuckers treat me like it’s just my second year
Fool you better get prepared
Don’t know ‘bout you but all my rhymes is deadly here
Frick Park Market where we kicking out the garbage
Sick bars I’ve been a boss so stick around and watch it
Didn’t fit around no college campus, chilling writing on top of planet Earth
Fuck who’s first, It’s just bout who the hardest
On my own two, fuck who’s saying different
Every time I rhyme I get that Punxsutawney feeling
I’m the starter you the fill in
You a martyr I’m just killing
Getting harder with each time I write
Wish I could rewind last night
I had so much fun just kickin’ it and goin’ in
Don’t call me Malcolm if you didn’t fuckin’ know me then
And if you lonely girl I could be your only friend
You got some shit to say I suggest you hold it in
[Hook]
I’mma feed the world you can put it on my tab
Run until my legs go numb, I don’t plan on looking back
Anything you need you can find it at the market
If you don’t hold me down, for all I care, you can starve bitch
I’mma feed the world you can put it on my tab
Run until my legs go numb, I don’t plan on looking back
Anything you need you can find it at the market
Anything you need you can find it at the market
Too many ..Fab , black people really magic . Mac Miller nice too though .

今日は６月２９日にリリースされたドレイクのアルバム『Scorpion』より，収録楽曲「Talk Up feat. Jay-Z」を取り上げます。
Drake feat. Jay-Z – “Talk Up”
(Verse: Jay-Z)
Yo, get close enough to HOV, smell like a kilo still
First album 26, I ain’t need no deal
Already a hood legend, I ain’t need no shine
First Rollie flooded out, I ain’t see no time, woah
Stand-up niggas, we only duckin’ indictments
Dope boys, Off-White, lookin’ like soft white on ’em
Heh, you know what I’m sayin’?
We in the buildin’, we came for a billion, ain’t nobody playin’
Live every word that I’m rappin’
Say I lost 90 bricks and it happened
You probably wouldn’t believe everything that you seein’ right now if it wasn’t live action
I ain’t on the ‘Gram, they record who I am
God to these dope boys, how do you not be a HOV fan?
I’m what Meech shoulda been
I’m what Supreme didn’t become
If Alpo didn’t snitch, niggas’d be like Young
I got your President tweetin’, I won’t even meet with him
Y’all killed X and let Zimmerman live, shhh, s-streets is done
今回このシングル曲「I Love It」にフィーチャリングされているのは，若手ラッパー＝リル・パンプ（Lil Pump）です。「I Love It」リリースの約１週間後にリル・パンプ自身もニューアルバムを出す予定です。タイトルはなんと『Harvard Dropout（ハーバード大学の退学者）』（９月１４日リリース予定）。リル・パンプ自身はツイッターで「俺はほんとにハーバードに入学したし，中途退学（ドロップアウト）したんだ。ラップ界を救うために」と言っています。

Kanye West feat. Lil Pump – “I Love It”
[Intro: Adele Givens]
‘Cause you know in the old days
They couldn’t say the shit they wanted to say
They had to fake orgasms and shit
We can tell niggas today: “Hey, I wanna cum, mothafucka”
[Chorus: Lil Pump]
You’re such a fuckin’ ho, I love it (I love it)
You’re such a fuckin’ ho, I love it (I love it)
（サビ：リル・パンプ）
このクソ女，大好きだ（ダイスキ）
このクソ女，大好きだ（ダイスキ）
[Pre-Verse: Lil Pump]
You’re such a fuckin’ ho, I love it (love it, love it)
(I’ma fuck a bitch, tell her cousin)
Your boyfriend is a dork, McLovin (dork, McLovin; ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1: Lil Pump]
I just pulled up in a Ghost (Ghost)
Fucked that bitch up out in London (up out in)
Then I fucked up on her cousin
Or her sister, I don’t know nothin’ (uh-uh, woo)
And my niggas gettin’ ignorant
Like a lighter, bitch, we ignit (ignit, yeah)
All this water on my neck
Look like I fell when I went fishin’ (fell)
So much diamonds on my bust down
Ooh, fuck, what’s the time? (where we at?)
Me and Smokepurpp sippin’ drank (ayy)
Ooh, fuck, she take lines (lines)
[Interlude: Kanye West]
You’re such a fuckin’ ho
When the first time they ask you if you want sparklin’ or still?
Why you try to act like you was drinkin’ sparklin’ water ‘fore you came out here?
You’re such a fuckin’ h—
[Pre-Verse: Kanye West]
I’m a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (whoop!)
I’m a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (whoop!)
I’m a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (whoop!)
I’m a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck (whoop!)
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
I’m a sick fuck, I like a quick fuck
I like my dick sucked, I’ll buy you a sick truck
I’ll buy you some new tits, I’ll get you that nip-tuck
How you start a family? The condom slipped up
I’m a sick fuck, I’m inappropriate
I like hearin’ stories, I like that ho shit
I wanna hear more shit, I like the ho shit
Send me some more shit, you triflin’ ho bitch (bitch, bitch, bitch)
[Chorus: Lil Pump]
You’re such a fuckin’ ho, I love it (I love it)
You’re such a fuckin’ ho, I love it (I love it)
（サビ：リル・パンプ）
このクソ女，大好きだ（ダイスキ）
このクソ女，大好きだ（ダイスキ）
[Outro: Adele Givens]
‘Cause you know in the old days
They couldn’t say the shit they wanted to say
They had to fake orgasms and shit
We can tell niggas today: “Hey, I wanna cum, mothafucka”
Oh, they got it all you can see they got it all
They got the cars, the boat and the beautiful house by the shore
And you know there’s more
But I can’t take another minute of it at all
He wants his kids and the dog, he wants his breakfast in bed
He’s got his trust fund saved, not a worry in his head
It’s not you, homie
I wanna break up the scene and see you running back to me
Cause I feel like taking off, let me be your supernova
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me the chance to get it right, get it right
Yeah, I feel like taking off, let me be your supernova tonight
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me the chance to get it right, get it right
Uhh, and don’t be tryna come around my girl
Acting like Mr. Friendly
And steal the spotlight like Mr. Bentley
I spotted her like Spud McKenzie
And for them fake boobies I paid them Benjies, get your own
I got Paris, he got Nicky, he tried to get em a clone
He said, “Ye you know you got extra hoes
And everything you do is extra cold”
From the Polo fleece to the Jesus piece
I got family in high places like Jesus’ niece
Can I please, say my peace?
If y’all fresh to death, then I’m deceased
And this one here is a heatrocks, spit like a beat box
The way the beat rocks, new version of Pete Rock
But for that Benz, I get CL love
So I switch my girls around like 3L-dub, I’m calling
I know fucking with a crook is whack
I lied, cheated, still took me back
What I do? Turn around, ask you to cook me crack
Boost my work with a jerk and tell the truth it hurts
Cause you even ask me to come through to church
What I do? Act second rate
I stole ten dollars out of the collection plate
But I’m ready to change
You got my heart, plus you smart
And the sex is great
And you hate rap, I like that girl
I argue with Keisha, I ain’t like that girl
You jumped right out the car, to fight that girl
You beat her ass, you ain’t have to bite that girl
And my baby got the best thighs
And my whip she ain’t never got to test drive
Copped her the X5
You paid attention when no one acknowledge me
This is my public apology, holla B
