do you like NWA? I just put on Straight Outta Compton and it occurred to me that I can't think of any other band that hits so hard. It's a punch in the mouth. the anger, attitude, aggression they captured is hard to match They outpunked, out metalled, and out rocked everybody in terms of in your face attitude.
Of their stuff I have only ever listened to Straight Outta Compton (when I was going through the Rolling Stone 500 albums some years ago...I made it to the upper 200s before bailing).
I don’t especially remember liking it and if I had to pick from that era’s rap I remember Run-DMC being more to my liking. But in terms of the anger thing, you probably have an argument. Seems to me the 80s were a pretty pleasant (sounding at least) decade musically — even the rock albums that are “politically angry” (say U2’s War or The Smith’s Meat Is Murder, Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears) don’t really seem to convey it completely. They seem more intellectually angrily than bodily.
But then I’m also not overly familiar with metal so I might be looking in the wrong place.

Boo Voodoo Hell Chris Blackwell not feeling well
I didn't know about his connection with Bond, living at Goldeneye or that he was an extra in Dr.No

All I have really heard about him is that he is a satanist and a vampire who drinks blood but Lee Perry pretty much says that about everybody

I keep getting sucked into rap which is messing up my regular reggae flow which I know is so much better for the soul.
Rap starts giving me an attitude too. snotty, defiant, rebellious, ...I don't show it but it's in there. it's hard not to feel all street when listening to Notorious Big...well it's just that badass, straight up total bummer he was killed

Bill Conti’s theme to the 1985 epic mini-series NORTH AND SOUTH (based on John Jakes novels of the American Civil War).

Dwight Yoakam, of all people, does a good version of this.

Now there’s a piece of media I haven’t thought about in a long time. My mom used to give that an annual watch in our house. Still remember how much space the VHS tapes took up on the shelf.
Had no idea Conti did the music.
