Eric B & Rakim "Paid in Full" - This may contain lyrics about money and the getting of said money, also pictured on the cover, money... There's more to life than money but I don't think these guys are having it!

Sun Ra & His Solar Myth Arkestra – Life Is Splendid

My only complaint about the test pressing is the lack of cover art but, nevertheless, life IS splendid - even though it's hard as fuck sometimes, money or no.

Play something related to bad guys

The path of crime attracts you
Like the temptation of a candy
He was regarded as a good guy
He was who he was
In the dead of night
Walk in these parts
From paradise and the zorro
Red zorro
Smart people keep around the man
A common type
Treasure of the newspapers
No limit at all
Red light was lost on the pier, from terror
An innocent man in the gas cell, without testifying
Red light was lost on the pier, of the nameless
He was regarded as a good boy, like the Golem?
I'm a public enemy number one
Whether you want it or not
For being so personal
Personal, personal
Personal, personal
The path of crime attracts you
Like the temptation of a candy
He was silenced in the gas cell
A good bad man
On the hot asphalt
Crime is what burns
Bandits are coming
Everywhere
The path of crime attracts you

Play something related to bad guys - There Ain't No Rest For the Wicked

Looks like my daughter stole the s/t (or possibly, it's misfiled) I do have this version.
Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said, "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
I told him, "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"

The Terrorists "Terror Strikes: Always Bizness Never Personal" AND Too Much Trouble The Baby Geto Boys "Bringing Hell on Earth" - wanted to get in before I get scooped!! My daughter was home today so we always end up in the music room and she's not only obsessed with cassettes but has a knack for choosing the most odd random ignorant rap tapes!!! Look these two work well, one group are Terrorists, that's not good guys and I'm sure they root for the bad guy all the time!! The other group is not just Trouble they are Too Much Trouble!!! They are also associated with The Geto Boys, those guys are bad news friends!!!

Goodfellas is a fantastic movie, I remember watching it at my friend's house all the time, I think it was on a DVD you had to flip over midway through the movie!!! The parody they did on Mr. Show still makes me laugh to this day!

This recently released bootleg features my third Sun Ra take on "Mack the Knife" - one of, if not THE most beloved song about a bad guy.
