The Unlikely Hip-Hop Influence Behind Beck’s “Loser”

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Opening of Loser)

Back in 1994, on January 20,
Beck took
“Loser” to No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

(Music Cut 2 — groove settles in)

Now THIS amused me —
Beck has said that for this song – he was trying to emulate the delivery of
Chuck D
from Public Enemy.

(Music Cut 3 — brief cut of Bring the Noise)

And yeah —
Beck has also admitted
it didn’t exactly come out the same.

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“You can’t write if you can’t relate.” — Beck

So close to using –

“And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
Who’s chokin’ on the splinters”
