- AK-Swift "Drama" from RAPsody Vocals 2 (1992):
"Causing much mayhem, dropping drama.
Radical rebel with a need to bomb a fake MC then I hang em higher.
The mic is my time to pay-the-piper.
Crime of rhyme going off as I kick them. You on the beat portrayed as the victim. Maniac, as I cut the balances. Supreme, with the war and challenges.
Graceful, and quick like a Puma. You can't catch up so now you assume.
I'm Swift, you got it right the first time. Your a** was through before I started to rhyme. I got your brain in my scope. The planets I hold so dope you can't cope. Deadly, Quicker picker up like bounty. Born and raised in Chicago, Cook county. Mic is the omen, raising hell like Damian.
Punch through your chest like the creature in Aliens.
Pray like a panther on the loose, Hold still while I get the noose."

    @@uncannyx Yeah absolutely! I try my hardest to dig around for rare / obscure music to play and it usually ends up in long searches for its origins / original samples. So my library is fairly filled with a decent amount of stuff I've collected over the years, nothing crazy but a good amount.

    【8:51】 ☝ *"HOLD IT!"* ☝ - *Phoenix Wright,* the _Ace Attorney_ series (2001-present; 2005-present for Western releases). Hey, is it just me... or does the *percussion* on the *"Mission" track* from *_Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift_** (2003)* sound awfully familiar to the percussion one would hear on *Ice Cube's verse* of the *title track* on the *the N.W.A.'s (N***as with Attitude)* debut studio album *_Straight Outta Compton_** (1988)?*

    Just played Garou: Mark of the Wolves, and while it's a bit of a loose fit, I noticed B. Jenet's them in the game, Bad Girl?, has a bit of Peter Gunn Theme influence to it. Maybe it's just me, but it came to mind immediately when I first heard Bad Girl?.
