Sabali


This marks just the 2nd time I've seen fit to print a song's lyrics as a blog entry in its own right (the 1st being "Passing Through" by Leonard Cohen).

The Distant Relatives album by Nas and Damien Marley is one of the best albums in the history of hip-hop, hands down. No matter how you slice it, this is desert island album.

While Marley the Younger has a thick accent and a rapid-fire delivery that may make his words hard to decipher for the first time listener, this song is a triumph among triumphs, the greatest song on a great album, a classic among classics.
