This cut comes off of Robin Thicke’s fifth studio album, Love After War. This song is very up-tempo that gets your blood flowing. I’m sure it can bring out the A-N-I-M-A-L in you. Can you handle the animal, ladies?

Rhyme Pays is the debut album of Ice-T, released in 1987. The album, especially tracks like “6 ‘N the Mornin’,” earned him the label ‘godfather of gangster rap’.

It was the first album to carry a Parental Advisory warning label. Ice responded to this (and the PRMC, led by Tipper Gore, responsible for the labels) in his later songs “Freedom Of Speech” and Body Count’s “KKK Bitch”.

Rhyme Pays peaked at #93 in the US in November 1987.

Chris states that his posse will kill whenever they want and leave their victims with black eyes. This is a double entendre, as Chris also references will.i.am—the frontman of hip-hop group The Black Eyed Peas.

Chris' boys kill at will so they kill when they feel like it and don’t need any instruction to do so. The Eye Peas refers to a 1970’s soviet machine gun which generally come in black.
This all ties together by using ‘kill at will’ and the black IP’s to make a reference to will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas

Despite not having a hit anywhere near the size of “Creep”, Radiohead’s previous album The Bends (1995) was successful enough for their record company EMI to give them complete creative control. The result was 1997’s OK Computer, which was designed as a deliberate reaction against the grunge movement of the 1990s. Then new-ish engineer and future Radiohead mainstay Nigel Godrich told Rolling Stone of the recording sessions:

They were the band of my dreams. There were no constraints. This was not Neanderthal rock & roll. It was very high-level thinking, conceptual, moving forwards in terms of sonics, and beautiful songs. It was a perfect thing. Lots of people, lots of ideas, and we all could pull in the same direction.

The album’s lyrical themes and composition have it hailed as way ahead of its time, predictive of society’s obsession with technology, and the isolation and paranoia that comes with it. Yorke, however, explained that it stemmed mostly from his personal experiences travelling non-stop in a touring band.

The paranoia I felt at the time was much more related to how people related to each other. But I was using the terminology of technology to express it. Everything I was writing was actually a way of trying to reconnect with other human beings when you’re always in transit. That’s what I had to write about because that’s what was going on, which in itself instilled a kind of loneliness and disconnection.

OK Computer was released to universal acclaim upon its release, and is often considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. On its twentieth anniversary in 2017, the band released a deluxe set including B-sides and never-before-released studio versions of songs, titled OK COMPUTER OKNOTOK 1997 2017.
