I didn't want to mess up the track that everyone would probably bash me for if I messed it up.
I had to make a complete statement.
I had to channel that super saiyan rage.
Not to be cliche but I had to channel the most powerful person on earth.
Yo this is Denzel Curry and you're now watching what Inspired my Like A Version
'Bulls On Parade'
I know there's a lot of intensity in there.
It's like the person I am.
I'm a very intense person.
I'm very in your face.
If you ever met me before, I'm very in your face.
If you met me on an off day and you don't like me
because you met me on that off day.
I'm sorry, but hey that's what it is.
That was my mood, you're gonna feel it.
Well I chose to cover 'Bulls On Parade' for the message that it had regarding what was going on
around that time.
Just to show that everything that's going on around this time is basically happening all over again.
And to show that I have mad versatility with not just being able to rap but being able to do
other genres as well.
Everything that I was saying in Rage Against The Machine 'Bulls On Parade'
was basically everything I was saying on 'Sirens'
and the reason why I chose that verse because it fit
and it still goes on.
It still goes on in America.
It still goes on all around the world.
Whether it comes down to any race, anybody.
Don't get me wrong. Everybody liked Donald Trump before he was President.
Now he's President, it's just like - nah bro.
What the f**k you doin?
It's already bad enough as it is and then you've got most of these motherf***ers feeling entitled
because you are President which is causing a shift
and divide amongst the people.
Well when it comes down to genres
everybody's just thinking oh he's just a rapper.
No a rapper just raps, I do it all.
I can sing, I can rap, I can flow, I can do poetry.
I can do whatever I was built to do.
Don't just limit me. I'm a limitless person.
I'm like Mugen from Samurai Champloo.
I'm limitless.
Like Bradley Cooper... Limitless.
I first got into metal when I was young.
It was me and my brother and we'd listen to Pantera, Korn, you know that type of stuff.
I got introduced to Pantera because of Dragon Ball Z
and I got introduced to Korn because of Freak On A Leash and stuff like that.
It was an interesting blend when it came down to Rage Against The Machine because
You know, with their music, it was very politically charged and if you listen to
a lot of my music like
ULT, N64 also if you listen to SIRENS and things of that sort most of it is driven to
what's going on.
Especially when it comes down to police brutality
and government
and majority, minority complex.
That's why I resonated with Rage Against The Machine
when it came down to their messages on Evil Empire
and the first album.
I feel a rage right now. I always feel a rage.
If you listen to my music
the majority of my music throughout my life has been angry.
It's just getting to a good place.
But majority of it was hard.
Just hard-hitting.
Because it was a reflection of what I was going through at the time
and just my environment.
I don't have to put no important messages in my music and my music would still just turn up
But what's the point in that?
I want people to go away with something and have fun
while they are listening to the record.
When we got to work, we got to work.
But we didn't work that much.
I just wanted to get my tone and the lyrics down.
And then when we showed up the next day
it was ready to go.
I don't know what else to cover, that one is solid.
That's my Like A Version.
That forever is gonna be a great Like A Version
and I don't wanna ruin that.
