Remember The Name
Fort Minor Feat. Styles Of Beyond


Describing the best quality of this song is difficult. Lyrically, it is intuitive, taking a new twist on the traditional gangster brag, written entirely in third person, creativity twisting rap's lyrical edge with mixing gangster themed song writings and something that is actually worth writing about, as in, it's not about sex, money, or drugs! (Insert '=O' here). Instead, the song focuses on "what [Fort Minor] is all about" and "the formula for success" which is, quite memorably...

"This is ten percent luck,
twenty percent skill,
fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
five percent pleasure,
fifty percent pain,
And a hundred percent reason,
to remember the name
,"

The beat is amazing too, earning a place among the best rap beats I've ever heard. A lively blend of non-traditional instruments (Not a drum or guitar in here) create an unique, unmistakable, and ultra catchy beat that is unparalleled in it's creativity and flat out awesomeness. A good song needs a good beat and Remember the Name raises the bar for a good beat.

Finally, vocals. This song features a stylistic (Please forgive the pun) mix of three rappers, something you simply don't hear very often. This song could have worked simply with Mike Shinoda alone, but added with the rapping duo Tak and Ryu it adds a level of freshness and uniqueness to each verse.

Rating A: This is rap at it's best. In Leada's opinion. =P
