>Murder Was the Case is a 1994 short film and soundtrack album starring Snoop Doggy Dogg. The 18 minute film was directed by Dr. Dre and Fab Five Freddy and chronicles the fictional death of Snoop Dogg and his resurrection after making a deal with the Devil. The song itself tells roughly the same story as the movie, with Snoop making a deal with the devil so that he can see his sweetheart have his baby.^[[1] https://genius.com/Snoop-dogg-murder-was-the-case-deathaftervisualizingeternity-lyrics]

>In “Song Cry,” August Alsina reflects on the pains that fame can’t fix—including the death of his brother. It contains echoes of Jay Z’s 2003 song of the same name, as well the 2004 Lyfe Jennings song “Cry”. Lyfe Jennings has always been one of August’s inspirations; covers of Lyfe Jennings that August uploaded when he was just 14 years old can still be seen on August’s youtube page.

>In October 2015, August released a YouTube trailer for “Song Cry,” subtitled “This Thing Called Life”

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_bSGxPApu0

>- Sometimes I cried, and cried, and cried… >- There’s so much pain that lies within mine eyes >- like my brother’s tragic demise >- These tears I just can’t hide"

>He also says he doesn’t even speak with his mother anymore, that fame can’t fix his pain, and that his family has become divided.

>“Song Cry” has little in common with the New Orleans crooner’s last single, “Why I Do It”. With lots of weeping guitar, “Song Cry” is better suited for listening while you’re walking home in the rain.

>On December 11th, 2015 the official music video was released, directed by Payne Lindsey shows August stranded in the desert when his motorcycle runs out of gas. He sits on the bed in his motel room as rose petals fall to the floor and a ballerina dances outside in the rain and then August wakes up in a bed of roses and sings in front of a burning casket, while tears of blood stream down his face.^[[1] https://genius.com/August-alsina-song-cry-lyrics]

Alt. link: MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL (AUDIO ONLY) [02:48] https://youtu.be/wmg6vbt04TY

---

>“HIND’S HALL” was released by Macklemore through social media on 6 May 2024.

>The track broadly addresses the State of Israel’s attack on Palestinians in Gaza which began in October 2023. The attack, which has caused tens of thousands of casualties, overwhelmingly civilian, has been widely characterised as genocidal, including as plausibly amounting to genocide by the ruling of the International Court of Justice in South Africa v Israel.

>More narrowly, the track addresses the 2024 encampment movement which took shape around the world in protest of other states' response, or lack of response, to the Israeli attack. Macklemore, who is based in the United States, particularly criticises US institutions' coercive, brute-force, often militarised response to student protesters using their (nominally) guaranteed rights to free speech.

>The song is named in reference to Hind’s Hall, a building at Columbia University in Manhattan, more commonly known as Hamilton Hall, prior to its takeover by student protesters. The building was named in reference to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl murdered by Israeli occupation forces. Hind’s fate is known because the civilian car she was riding in was disabled by an Israeli tank, killing most of her family and injuring her, whereupon her cousin placed a call to Palestinian emergency services crying and begging for help before also being killed. Hind subsequently spent three hours on call with Palestinian emergency services, allowing an ambulance to be dispatched and reach her. Upon its arrival, that ambulance was destroyed, and its crew and Hind were murdered, by the same or another Israeli tank.

>Hind’s call was leaked online and instantly became a focus of widespread notoriety due to the cold, calculated nature of her and her family’s murder — Hind and her cousin’s calls and evidence from the scene consistently indicate Israeli forces were in the immediate vicinity and in visual range at the time of each killing, meaning there is no reasonable chance the Israeli tank crews did not fully realise what they had done. Moreover, the Israeli tank destroyed the ambulance after Israeli forces had provided the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Gaza Health Ministry with a “guarantee” of safe passage and the ambulance had proceeded along a route laid out for that purpose. In addition, after the killing, Israeli spokespeople chose to lie about it and attempt to cover it up.

>The song also features a sample from “Ana La Habibi”, by legendary Lebanese Arab singer Fairuz, to fit the theme of making a song for Palestine. Fairuz has also been vocal in her support for Palestine over the course of career with the album Jerusalem in my Heart, featuring the single “Zahrat al Madaen”, which became a pan-Arab anthem, releasing only two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War.

>April 29, 1992 was the day that riots formed in Los Angeles after 4 LAPD officers were acquitted for use of excessive force on Rodney King. The song takes place on the day of the riots — Bradley claims he participated, though the extent to which he did is disputed. Ultimately the song is not just about the day of April 29 but also the overall state of the country and our relationship with police.

>“m.A.A.d” is an acronym for both “my Angels on Angel dust” and “my Angry Adolescence divided.”

>“m.A.A.d” is also a reference to the 90s Compton based hip-hop group “WC and the Maad Circle.” The leader, WC, would go on to form Westside Connection, a group heavily associated with LA-based artists Ice Cube from N.W.A, and Mack 10.

>Kendrick’s recent beat-down brings back early memories of similar situations, witnessing someone with their brains blown out at a burger stand back when he was 9 (probably referring to his Uncle Tony, or someone in a similar situation), he thinks he knows the person who did it but he censors their name. He also talks about how his cousin was killed back in ‘94.

>He talks about his father telling him to get a job but he’s fired after his friends pressure him into staging a robbery. He gives his reason for why he doesn’t smoke when he tells a story of smoking marijuana laced with cocaine and “foaming at the mouth.”

>In the final verse he tries to let the good shine through and offer respite for the youth and how they don’t have to succumb to the temptations and pressures of the street. He hopes that his experience and intelligence can do good for the youth living in similar situations.
