Pharoahe Monch - Agent Orange

[Aware2128]

I love it! He rhymed orange!

[proppanuts]

Seriously underrated

[proppanuts]

lyrical content is crazy

[BuddyAcesPRESENTS]

i love this beat! sara be droppin that what the hell was yaw on kind of shit when producing

[IEtherianSoul9]

Pharoahe Monch > Eminem

[redmarioproductions]

Pharoah Monch has to be one of the most underrated mc's of this era. All of his albums have met with serious critical acclaim.

[kriswilk]

Pharoahe is one of the most intelligent, talented, and enlightened cats in all of hip-hop history. Underrated is an understatement. He is a true emcee, not a rapper. Rap is pure shit. Hip-Hop is an art and Pharoahe is one of it's champion geniuses.

[VicSicily]

Its Resident Evil when every presidents a Mason. Word is bond.

[keegan182]

Justin Vernon sent me.

[fadej17]

@keegan182 Justin Vernon sent me as well. I'm not sure this is my favorite hip-hop song ever.. :/

[MrDamienThorne]

its "Robbin you all fools like DICK GRAYSON" he's the name of the first Robin in batman. just thought I'd help :D

[tomwatson1]

did he just make a song about a counterstrike player?

[CypherVinz]

YA KNOW THE NAME! PHAROAHE FUCKIN' MONCH!

[misterknite]

The original Releasing Hypnotical Gasses DESTROYS this ... What happened to Pharoahe?

[MrFfwd]

For the lyrics its "robbin you fools like dick grayson". thats robins real name from batman and robin.

[traumateezo]

it takes a pharoahe to speak on the president.... i rather listen to the pharoahe man knows what the truth is and dont bullshit it unlike a president

[micmostmusic]

Meet this guy at SXSW, a few time....very humbled, and kinda shy. Excellent tunes nonetheless!

[musiclover01ization]

Pharoahe monch is awesome.

[arawrebirth20]

This is lyrical perfection!!Love this song

[KoldShadow]

Brilliant . . . although I can't fucking watch YouTube videos thanks to the latest Flash and Java updates, this track played on my Winamp and I just had to add it as a fave! His punchlines and metaphors in this track are some of the sickest I've ever heard . . . CLASSIC! 50's "Move" is an aight bullshit track but it really can't fuck with this . . . Monch is truly one of Queen's FINEST MC's, while 50 is less than average compared with his contemporaries (albeit the most successful).

[scroggg]

100 per cent truth fron Phara

never mind 50 cent short of a dollar…

Immortal Technique got more flow that that fat fool fiddy…

[TheKinglyR]

@scroggg lol true but immortal technique can diss any motherfucker i really think he doesnt care about the flow he is trying to spread a message

[christoB93]

fuckin love this song, pharoahe always go hard

[SomeDudeQC]

"Robbin (Robin) y'all fools like Dick Grayson"

[isiit702]

this is a very lyrically intelligent song!!!

[julioshawtylean76]

this pharoahe song the shit like philip sargent said couldnt said it better th way he codifies the words make double meaning is so coo deep truth

[tainanherb]

The line in the last verse is "Robbin' y'all fools like Dick Grayson". Dick Grayson was Robin, Batman's sidekick. Double meaning (robbin'/robin), like the 'threw a rock, and I ran' to "through Iraq and Iran"

[mead187]

how the fuck has this classic only got 12,800 views? What are people listening to?!

[kungblao]

i shitted onmyself the first time i heard this beat.

[BimBumchin]

robbin ya'll like dick grayson.

he was robin in the batman comics.

[JamSlick]

This is lyrics from a higher life form 8)

[Fyahbwoy]

Robin you fools like Dick Grayson!

[TheBigShotTMD]

agent orange is messed up man

[LanceVanceThug]

there's a wordplay. he says:

Its not a Game Boy, ask about/Xbox the PlayStation"

[ruben771993]

this song is dope

[pamypala]

There's an error in the lyrics...

"Its not a Game Boy ABOUT THE PlayStation", is:

Its not a Game Boy, XBOX OR PlayStation

[ataribigby1]

@pamypala

He doesn't say XBox...

He says "It's not a Game Boy, it's about the play station".

[bskdopeboy]

@pamypala 'rock the playstation'

[PhillipSargeant]

I love how Monche codifies keywords into his lyrics, for instance in the first few bars he spits lyrics like

'I ran,' 'bagged dad,' and 'who's sane' what you hear though and what sticks out is Iran, Baghdad and Hussain

[vjfmify]

@PhillipSargeant good obseravtion, I heard that but didnt realize it, Thanks

[NimoTheDog]

@PhillipSargeant I spotted that, with diferent spelling its "I through Iraq & Iran". Also the "ready to roll" line was a quote from a US Marine on a docu about the Iraq war, clever lyrics.

[southsideStrong]

@PhillipSargeant Yea some might not catch on but that's usually pretty obvious. It's good shit when artist's do that.

[xXxZeffaxXx]

@PhillipSargeant Lol, nice catch man, that's fucking beast!

[disiskurt]

@PhillipSargeant Those are referencing a few lines of his from Releasing Hypnotical Gases. If you like Monch but haven't listened to Organized Konfusion, you really need to get on that.

[auboholick]

@PhillipSargeant You forgot Iraq. "I through 'a rock' and I ran" Good ear though peace.

[Joseph15O]

@PhillipSargeant I rock - Irak

[discobob3232]

@PhillipSargeant -A rock-Iraq, it's often pronounced like that

[VicSicily]

@PhillipSargeant forgot Threw A Rock (Iraq)

[katsyb]

@PhillipSargeant is that you from DK??

[hijodechago]

@PhillipSargeant threw --a rock --IRAQ , too.

[77macro77]

sick lyrics

[cantecleer]

You all ready to rock?

WE READY TO ROCK!

You all ready to roll?

WE READY TO ROLL!

My life is all I have to give...

[headcase201]

@cantecleer hell yea I'm ready

[hazesmokingmonkey]

I saw this dude twice in Holland

nice show!

big up Pharaoh.. so so lobi

[drillahmon]

same beat as the 50 cent song MOVE!

[Munb]

@drillahmon this is the original though

[scousejimmy1]

@drillahmon lol buddy thats just 50 and banks spitting over agent orange.this came out 10 years ago

[EssexUK87]

@drillahmon This came out long time before that numpty 50-cent

[argentino39]

@EssexUK87 Yeah, waaay back in 2006. Lol. Seriously tho, howcome Monch and Jedi Mind Tricks each released a song about Agent Orange and Vietnam in the same year? This one's good, but, i think the JMT one is better:P

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@argentino39

it just happened, check out Organized Konfusion - "Releasing Hypnotical", on that track '91991) Pharoahe Monch uses the "I threw a rock, then I ran

Cause I couldn't stand anymore within the grip of the man" line.

that song is R.A. the rugged man's, not JMT's you know what i mean, R.A. ripped it Paz got torn apart, amazing verse. but i like this a lil better the rhyme schemes are great.

[argentino39]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS True. sorry, i barely understood that:P The beat is good on the JMT one. I often think of the beats because i wanna become a producer.

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@argentino39 the production is great on that song imo

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS want more, just ask.

[spektrim]

@argentino39 You're out of your element Donnie. I love JMT but this song is sick as fuck

[argentino39]

@spektrim True. Who's Donnie? lol

[spektrim]

@argentino39 It's a quote from the big leboski

[earlmccormick88]

No thats them rapping over the beat duh. I got that track on my first 50 mixtape called Gunit Radio 3 Takin it to the Streets.

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@drillahmon yeah he took the beat for his mixtape, rappers do it all the time

[ZikDreams]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS yeah, it is legal too isn't it? as long as they don't sell it further. :)

[infinitideagames]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS Uhm I think it's robbin' ya'll fools like the greysons or robbin' you fool's like the grace. Hope that help's

[ImpartialDeath]

@infinitideagames "Robbin' y'all fools like Dick Grayson." Dick Grayson was the original Robin in the Batman comics (the one who became Nightwing when he got older). More wordplay... gotta love it.

[infinitideagames]

@ImpartialDeath Haha nice man, thanks for that :D

[MrFfwd]

@ImpartialDeath haha beat me to it didnt see that u posted this

[theamazingmunfy]

@infinitideagames hes saying robbin y'all fools like dick greyson who was the original robin from batman, i know its been like 3months but oh well :P

[CK1771]

@drillahmon And did WAY better with the beat than 50!!

[JaceInman]

@drillahmon 80x better than anything 50 cent has ever done.

[Demostheneses]

The lyric is Robbin y'all fools like "Dick Grayson" ...like Robin from Batman and Robin.

[flatfoot1979]
