Corrida De Toros: Translated from Spanish to "Bull Fight", this track showcases DAN-E-O at his best. The self-proclaimed
"Lyrical Mastermind" mercilessly attacks the bull that both he and society must fight. Among such nuisances are
violence-ridden lyrics, crass commercialism, racial prejudice and a 'hip hop hatin' music industry. "I know it's a
lot for people to take in", admits DAN-E-O, "But it's important for me to address certain things. It's not so much
of an attack on these things as it is a calling together of people to better themselves and this world". DAN-E-O will
have no trouble bringing together hip-hop heads to support "Corrida De Toros". The coupling of the song's energetic
Spanish horns and drums and ferocious lyrics have already made it a classic.
Margerine: "It's inspired by those who are money hungry", explains DAN-E-O, "I find that I know of too many people
who are obsessed with loot. It's especially distasteful when people enter relationships only to benefit from their
partner's riches. I gotta let the ladies know that they should respect themselves more and the fellas know not to
allow themselves to get punked off. That's why I say, "so when my lyrics spread, then you'll know my reason to make
bread". "Margerine" is as sweet as it sounds. In addition to its unique message, the song highlights DAN-E-O's
lyrical diversity as he flips in and out of a quickly-paced rhyme style that is very difficult to mimic.
Revenge: The title speaks for itself. Frustrated with being unable to secure a record deal or any type of financial
support, DAN-E-O comes back to prove that his solo career did not end with "Dear Hip Hop". "I'm here to stay", insists
DAN-E-O, "a lot of cats thought that 'Dear Hip Hop' was all I'd ever bring to the table...I wrote that when I was 17!
Heads better be prepared for the most dangerous lyrics they've ever heard. Whether you like 'em or not, I think my
rhymes are all I need to prove myself". Case and point, DAN-E-O's end rhyme in "Revenge": "If each vocabulary's
hereditary, then trust the world's most dangerous MC could be in the next seed I bust!"
