SOMETHING ON MTV THAT ISN'T SHIT?,

now here's a track that i'm surprised i like. it's just so far out of the radius of the music i'm listening to at the moment. and i think i know the reason behind this anomaly. the fort minor piano riff behind the beat. mike shinoda aka fort minor, half of linkin park's front line has been writing great piano licks for both linkin park an his own records for a good while now, and he more than anyone (except maybe gym class heroes) knows how to perfectly blend rap and rock. this busta rhymes joint reminds me of the 2pac one featuring elton john "ghetto gospel" and it's almost as good as it. also, have a listen to another fort minor classic, again using his trademark piano.
