Queen - Another One Bites The Dust - Single

“Survival of the Fittest” is Mobb Deeps second hit single from their classic 1995 album “The Infamous”. This right here is classic NYC hip hop at it’s finest. What Mobb Deep lacks in technicality such as flow structures, and finesse they make up 10 fold with gritty realism in …

The Velvet Underground - That’s The Story Of My Life (Song)
That’s The Story Of My Life is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their third and self-titled record. The song starts out in a very lighthearted mood and it has almost a childish tone to it in my opinion due to the very light guitar riff …
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror (Song)
