P.R. 1 Comment

Songs lyrics can be hypnotic, poetic, seductive or inscrutable, and we’ve all had moments where we wonder about the meaning of a specific line or a stanza. For our “Dramatic Interpretations” series, Google Play presents some of today’s top artists with a classic song verse, and asks them to give a reading of it as well as present their own interpretation. The results are funny, and offer insight into both the artist and the song. Here Ciara takes on Leonard Cohen’s “The Darkness”. Previously: Ciara Talks Michael Jackson [Video]

Pete Rock & Camp Lo feat. Mac Miller – Megan Good [Audio]

On July 30th, pioneering hip-hop producer/DJ Pete Rock and seminal Bronx duo Camp Lo will release their second collaborative effort, 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s Pt. II, the follow-up to their 2011 mixtape of the same name. The tape will feature a handful of guests, including Talib Kweli, Ab-Soul and Uncle Murda. Now you can take an exclusive first listen to their Mac Miller-featuring cut “Megan Good.” Over a simple bass groove, click-clack drums and scattered vocal cues from Rock (who has some experimental fun during the track’s last two minutes or so), Camp Lo’s Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede spin boast-tacular yarns while Miller lets his salacious, lackadaisical rhymes flow. via Rolling Stone
