It's not everyday I come across a track that just fits. The rhythm meets the rhyme. Something about the chords enveloping the emotion makes a lotta sense.
I get the impression this happens best when the artist tells it like it is. In this Bruno Mars / Damian track, I find the message to be depressing, but it's still a track that clicks on point for me.
Damian has the only line in the track that actually tells us the whole story is a depressing one: "Nuff ghetto youth cannot escape the trap".
The rest of the track seems quite sarcastic, telling it like it is, getting messed up today thinking tomorrow's going to be just fine. Yet, if the track had rhymes like most others do, discussing the problem and really getting down with the message, I don't think it would ring the same tone with me.
There's also the music, and it could be that the construction of this track is really what's special about it. But I like to believe that when rhythm and rhyme meet, when you tell it like it is, that's when truth becomes most apparent.
