Shots Fired

Side A · Snipers24:23

1. 01Carly Simon"You're So Vain"4:18

   Sharp as a knife and catchy as all hell. Mick Jagger's vocals only add to the intrigue. Hell hath no fury…

2. 02Lynyrd Skynyrd"Sweet Home Alabama"4:43

   Are we the bad guys? Hard to tell but turn it up anyway.

3. 03Taylor Swift"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor's Version)"3:13

   Our introduction to Taylor and we're still in love with this (but we can only link to her version).

4. 04Taking Back Sunday"Capital M-E"2:48

   The clue is in the title. Don't leave a band on bad terms.

5. 05Heart"Barracuda"4:21

   Heart go straight for the jugular here and we could listen to it endlessly.

6. 06Nine Inch Nails"Starfuckers, Inc."5:00

   Inspired by You're So Vain, Nine Inch Nails takes aim at the entire music industry, including themselves.

Side B · Bazookas26:07

1. 07Ice Cube"No Vaseline"5:15

   Ok, now we're getting personal. No Vaseline excoriated the remaining members of NWA and established Ice Cube as a stone cold killa.

2. 08Cypress Hill"No Rest for the Wicked"5:01

   Until he got caught up in a feud with Cypress Hill. Ice Cube's bio is torn to shreds. Muggs, make it rough…

3. 09Kendrick Lamar"Not Like Us"4:34

   Enough ink has been spilt on the drama behind this one so we won't go there. We just love how funky this song is and how clever the lyrics are.

4. 10Dr. Dre"Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')"4:51

   Like Ice Cube before him, Dr. Dre set fire to all the boats as he departed NWA. His legendary production skills shine through on this track from The Chronic.

5. 11Frankee"F.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)"3:17

   Pure marketing, pure novelty, we're sure you've forgotten about this response to some other now forgotten one hit wonder. It's not big and it's not clever but it's worth three minutes of your day.

6. 12Pusha T"The Story of Adidon"3:09

   Like Kendrick Lamar, we can skip the backstory. The vitriol is just as strong and the beat is just as good.
