The fast tempo and heavily distorted guitar supply the energy, while the softer chorus emphasizes what drives the angst in "SLTS" #bcpop

[Nick Auriemma @nickauriemma12]

"Semi-Charmed Life" definitely taints the 90s alt-rock scene, giving it a soft pop sound #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Never realized how dark Semi-Charmed Life was when I heard it growing up - crystal meth? #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Don't Speak sounds too close to a modern pop song to be put next to the Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Give It Away by the Chili Peppers has similar energy to a Nirvana song, but with lyrics that have a more explicit meaning #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Eddie Vedder accurately captures the intensity of the lyrics with his voice & more so with his emotions in the music video of Jeremy #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Nirvana's lyrics in Smells Like Teen Spirit do not have much meaning, but promote a general mood in the song (common in their music) #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Juicy stands alone from the other songs, with BIG's lyrics on a different level and the production much better than the other three #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Aside from Jay Z's smooth lyrics in Izzo, the background melody and beats have enough diversity to keep my attention #bcpop

[cm73 @adonisjb22]

The background beat in "Straight Outta Compton" sounds so similar to the one in "Rebel without a Pause." #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

The beats behind Straight Outta Compton set the base for rap that still remains today #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

The background of Rebels Without a Pause is too repetitive and takes away from the lyrics in my opinion #bcpop

[Kevin Cooney @CooneykhKevin]

"Rebel without a pause" had cool lyrics and rhymes but honestly the background noise sounded like nails on a chalkboard #bcpop

[noelle notarantonio @notarant]

Remix reminded me of the Fresh Prince theme song - not sure why #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Interesting how simple the early rap in New York was like in Remix for P is Free #bcpop

[¥¥¥ @imlyen]

the vocals in "the break" are super expressive and the call and response adds a lot of energy #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

The drum solo at 1:30 of The Breaks is unique and captivating, with such a light tone and interesting beat #bcpop

[Lucas Mairo @lmairobc]

Harmonization and techno make Express Yourself so appealing #bcpop

[Megan DiGuiseppe @MegDiGuiseppe]

"Express Yourself" has very intricate, intense instrumentals with a techno beat. #bcpop
