Bob Dylan ( /ˈdɪlən/), born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, is an American singer-songwriter, musician and artist. He has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest. A number of Dylan's early songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems for the US civil rights and anti-war movements. Leaving his initial base in the culture of folk music behind, Dylan's six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone" has been described as radically altering the parameters of popular music in 1965. However, his recordings employing electric instruments attracted denunciation and criticism from others in the folk movement.
Dylan's lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed hugely to the then burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the songs of Woody Guthrie,Robert Johnson, and Hank Williams, as well as the music and performance styles of Buddy Holly and Little Richard, Dylan has both amplified and personalized musical genres. His recording career, spanning fifty years, has explored numerous distinct traditions in American song—from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and swing.
Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 March 1947) is an English rock singer-songwriter, composer, pianist and occasional actor. He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriter partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date.
In his four-decade career John has sold more than 250 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. His single "Candle in the Wind 1997" has sold over 33 million copies worldwide, and is the best selling single in Billboard history. He has more than 50 Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive No. 1 US albums, 56 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, four No. 2 hits, and nine No. 1 hits. He has won six Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Tony Award. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him Number 49 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.
John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Having been named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1996, John received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for "services to music and charitable services" in 1998.
[Featuring Bo Roc]
Yeah this is Bo Roc from the Dove Shack
G Funk representing baby
And I'm chillin with my homeboys Foesum and the Twinz
(And I'm in the wind)
This is how we gonna set it off for all my folks
T Dubb
I see my games recognized who despise get a glimpse
I'm tryin to seperate myself from these playa hatin simps
rollin down the backstreets with my peeps it's on again
LBC and cuz I'm off in the wind
establish myself to keep my chips on stacks
so face the facts as I bring it to you just like that
don't play me so locc, listen to the Dubb and chill
just loungin wit the homies so I'm keepin it real
now, what about those days when I was strugglin for my pay
when times got rough and some of the homeys went astray
but never the less I keep the facts and regards
stayin true to myself as I'm pullin your card
now break me off cuz I'm settin it off to get my props
still rollin with the fo and shakin those that jock
So peep game as I'm comin through, ooh
cuz what goes around comes around I thought you knew
(Chorus) Bo-Roc
Oh I'm in the wind
I set it off now look around
cuz what goes around, comes around and round
it's calling to be falling but I'm balling
cuz it's all in my game, in my game
M&M-;
Verse deuce
Lemme get loose
With your attention as I hit you from a whole nother direction
Perfection, is how it started and I'm finished
cuz even though you hit the top (top)
someday you'll drop (drop), and then diminish (gone)
it's just a struggle living day to day
I count my ends sippin gin in the wind as I fade away
but some be actin like they made in the shade
cuz they paid but really and truly should've stayed
real with yo mind in the right frame
it's cool to floss like the boss but maintain the same game
what you be thinkin it's no tellin
but I stay funkish on my ends
roll with my friends and continue bellin
it's just the way I see things as a G and,
Your lost in the zone
cuz you flossin on your own
I ain't the type to break another homey down
But what goes around comes around
you shoulda listened to the sound
(Chorus)
DJ Glaze-
Yo, I'm bellin in the names and lemme run it to ya
and spit a little game to the homeys on how it's comin to ya
so step aside lemme slide through
while I get to peepin thangs I'm comin from my view
cuz anytime you caught up in the struggle you see it all,
lose some of your homeys around the way and others don't even call
(damn)
But I ain't trippin it ain't like that
if you show me love I show you homey love right back
cuz I ain't never been the type that'll ever forget about ya
get to spreadin rumors that other some people said about ya
cuz in the past we had fun with homeys kickin it deep
but now I'm dippin with them G's from the F to the O to the E
and as for the females you know how they trip
anytime they see you makin chips they quick to get on ya tip
but I ain't goin out, you shoulda stayed down
and watch who you clown
cuz what goes around comes around
