Beyonce – “BREAK MY SOUL”
Drake – “Falling Back”
Chris Brown feat. Fivio Foreign – “C.A.B. (Catch A Body)”
邪魔する連中ども(anyone in the way)というのは誰のことでしょうか。
1つ言えるのは、2018年にドレイクの息子についてディスラップをしたプッシャT(Pusha T)のことですが、そのプッシャTが所属するG.O.O.D. Musicレーベルは、カニエ・ウェストが創設したものでございます。
It’s absolute, yeah (Yeah), I’m back, reboot (It’s lit!)
LaFerrari to Jamba Juice, yeah (Skrrt, skrrt)
We back on the road, they jumpin’ off, no parachute, yeah
Shawty in the back
She said she workin’ on her glutes, yeah (Oh my God)
このスタンザ(=段落)を歌う(ラップする)ときに・・・
It’s absolute
(息継ぎ)
I’m back, reboot
(息継ぎ)
LaFerrari
(息継ぎ)
to Jamba Juice
(息継ぎ)
We back on the road, they jumpin’ off, no parachute
(息継ぎ)
Shawty in the back
She said she workin’ on her glutes
(息継ぎ)
と歌える,ということです。
これはヒップホップビートを逸れない韻律(cadence)であります。
さて,いよいよ「SICKO MODE」の第3構成の対訳を以下に掲載いたします。
[Part III]
[Intro: Travis Scott, Drake & Lil Juice]
Yeah!
Astro, yeah, yeah
Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up!
Ayy, ayy
[Chorus: Drake & Travis Scott]
She’s in love with who I am
Back in high school, I used to bus it to the dance (Yeah)
Now I hit the FBO with duffels in my hands
I did half a Xan, 13 hours ’til I land
Had me out like a light, ayy, yeah
Like a light, ayy, yeah
[Verse 3: Drake & Travis Scott]
Like a light, ayy, slept through the flight, ayy
Knocked for the night, ayy
767, man, this shit got double bedroom, man
I still got scores to settle, man
I crept down the block (Down the block)
Made a right (Yeah, right)
Cut the lights (Yeah, what?), paid the price (Yeah)
Niggas think it’s sweet (Nah, never), it’s on sight (Yeah, what?)
Nothin’ nice (Yeah), baguettes in my ice (Aw, man)
Jesus Christ (Yeah), checks over stripes (Yeah)
That’s what I like (Yeah), that’s what we like (Yeah)
Lost my respect, you not a threat
When I shoot my shot, that shit wetty like I’m Sheck (Bitch!)
See the shots that I took (Ayy), wet like I’m Book (Ayy)
Wet like I’m Lizzie
I be spinnin’ Valley, circle blocks ’til I’m dizzy (Yeah, what?)
Like where is he? (Yeah, what?)
No one seen him (Yeah, yeah)
I’m tryna clean ’em (Yeah)
[Chorus: Drake & Travis Scott]
She’s in love with who I am
Back in high school, I used to bus it to the dance
Now I hit the FBO with duffels in my hands (Woo!)
I did half a Xan, 13 hours ’til I land
Had me out like a light (Like a light)
Like a light (Like a light)
Like a light (Like a light)
Like a light
[Verse 4: Travis Scott]
Yeah, passed the dawgs a celly
Sendin’ texts, ain’t sendin’ kites, yeah
He said, “Keep that on lock”
I say, “You know this shit, it’s stife,” yeah
It’s absolute, yeah (Yeah), I’m back, reboot (It’s lit!)
LaFerrari to Jamba Juice, yeah (Skrrt, skrrt)
We back on the road, they jumpin’ off, no parachute, yeah
Shawty in the back
She said she workin’ on her glutes, yeah (Oh my God)
Ain’t by the book, yeah, this how it look, yeah
‘Bout a check, yeah (Check), just check the foots, yeah
Pass this to my daughter, I’ma show her what it took (Yeah)
Baby mama cover Forbes, got these other bitches shook
Yeah
[Verse 1: Travis Scott & The Notorious B.I.G.]
Woo, made this here with all the ice on in the booth
At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose
Yeah, Jump Out boys, that’s Nike boys, hoppin’ out coupes
This shit way too big, when we pull up, give me the loot
(Gimme the loot!)
Was off the Remy, had a Papoose
Had to hit my old town to duck the news
Two four hour lockdown, we made no moves
Now it’s 4 a.m. and I’m back up poppin’ with the crew
I just landed in, Chase B mix this pop like Jamba Juice
Different colored chains, think my jeweler really sellin’ fruits
And they chokin’, man, know the crackers wish it was a noose
[Bridge: Big Hawk & Swae Lee]
Some-Some-Some-Someone said
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
Pl-Pl-Playin’ for keeps, don’t play us for weak (Someone said)
To win the retreat, we all in too deep
Pl-Pl-Playin’ for keeps, don’t play us for weak
[Verse 2: Travis Scott & Uncle Luke]
Yeah, this shit way too formal, y’all know I don’t follow suit
Stacey Dash, most of these girls ain’t got a clue
All of these hoes I made off records I produced
I might take all my exes and put ’em all in a group
Hit my eses, I need the bootch
‘Bout to turn this function to Bonnaroo
Told her, “Hop in, you comin’ too”
In the 305, bitches treat me like I’m Uncle Luke
(Don’t stop, pop that pussy!)
Had to slop the top off, it’s just a roof, uh
She said, “Where we goin’?” I said, “The moon”
We ain’t even make it to the room
She thought it was the ocean, it’s just the pool
Now I got her open, it’s just the Goose
Who put this shit together? I’m the glue
[Bridge: Travis Scott, Big Hawk, & Swae Lee]
Someone said
Shorty FaceTimed me out the blue
Someone said
Pl-Playin’ for keeps
Someone said, motherfucker—someone said
Don’t play us for weak
[Intro: Drake]
Astro, yeah
Sun is down, freezin’ cold
That’s how we already know, winter’s here
My dawg would probably do it for a Louis belt
That’s just all he know, he don’t know nothin’ else
I tried to show ’em, yeah
I tried to show ’em, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin’ on you with the pick and roll
Young La Flame, he in sicko mode
前回はケンドリック・ラマーの「Fuck Your Ethnicity」という,人種に関する力強いメッセージ性を含んだ楽曲を紹介しました。今回はそのイメージからも,ラップスタイルからも,リリックからも全く真逆,対極にあるドレイクの「Marvin’s Room」という曲を紹介します。現代のヒップホップ界に現在最も影響を与えている2人ですが,何から何まで,曲の雰囲気も含めて,全く違います。聴き比べてみてください。
Drake – “Marvin’s Room”
[Intro: Ericka Lee on the phone]
Hello? Yeah, I just walked in
Yeah, I’m good… You still working?
Tonight… Right now? Did I go out?
Yeah, I went out, I went…
I went to a couple of clubs
I never went to bed, shit…
Wine or water
You said something about a cold drink?
I don’t know, I’m delirious…
[Verse 1: Drake]
Cups of the rosé
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I’ve been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I’ve been drinkin’ so much
That I’ma call her anyway, and say…
[Chorus: Drake]
Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he’s not around
[Bridge: Drake & Ericka Lee]
(Are you drunk right now?)
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’ only if you make me
[Verse 2: Drake]
Uh, cups of the XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don’t have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doin’ that’s so important?
I’ve been drinkin’ so much
That I’ma call you anyway, and say…
[Chorus: Drake]
Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he’s not around
[Bridge: Drake & Ericka Lee]
(Are you drunk right now?)
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’ only if you make me
[Verse 3: Drake]
I think I’m addicted to naked pictures
And sitting talking ’bout bitches that we almost had
I don’t think I’m conscious of makin’ monsters
Outta the women I sponsor ’til it all goes bad
But, shit, it’s all good
We threw a party, yeah, we threw a party
Bitches came over, yeah, we threw a party
I was just calling, ‘cause they were just leavin’
Talk to me, please, don’t have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that’s livin’ off me
Paid for their flights and hotels, I’m ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won’t say no names
After a while, girl, they all seem the same
I’ve had sex four times this week; I’ll explain
Havin’ a hard time adjustin’ to fame
Sprite in that mixture
I’ve been talkin’ crazy, girl, I’m lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
“Well, I’m sorry.”
[Bridge: Drake & Ericka Lee]
(Are you drunk right now?)
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I’m just sayin’ you could do better
And I’ll start hatin’ only if you make me
[Interlude: Drake]
You’re not gonna come?
Guess I’m ’bout to just kick it here then
(インタールード:ドレイク)
来ないのかい?
じゃあ一人でゆっくりするよ
[Outro: Drake]
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said “You niggas crazy”
I hope no one heard that
I hope no one heard that
‘Cause if they did, we gonna be in some trouble
We gonna be in some trouble, trouble
