Hard as a box of nails!! I’m surprised “I’m Alive” hasn’t been licensed for a shampoo commercial yet, but hopefully it’ll stay off of Madison Avenue’s radar.
“Personally, “Life’s A Bitch” was always my least favorite song off of Illmatic, music-wise. I just thought it was too soft and syrupy and even though I’ve tried to give it new listens in hindsight, it still doesn’t really do it for me.
This is a live recording of me playing disco stuff while rehearsing for “A Downtown Affair” on WNYU 89.1 FM, New York. Unfortunately, the rehearsal turned out better than the broadcast.
