Have you heard it? “Til It’s Gone” by Yelawolf? Angry Southern rap, not usually my thing, but for some reason this just donkeypunches me in the gut every time I hear it. That relentless, driving beat. The plaintive hook. The message of being forced to take accountability for one’s actions. It’s really genius. Listening to the lyrics (and watching this video) makes me realize just how much of life I’ll never experience. How much I’ll never know. I’ll never be in that world. I’ll never hang with swamp thugs in the bayou. I’ll never be that tattooed guy in the wifebeater. And yet, I feel like I’m in his head. I feel the panic rising in his chest when he shoots the guy. I’m right there. I’m him. And that’s ART.
