Sarah Potenza and Postmodern Jukebox covering Huey Lewis’ “The Power Of Love”.

Previously posted versions of this song: - by Huey Lewis and the News - by Parsonsfield ______________________________ The Power of Love Songwriters: Chris Hayes, Huey Lewis, Johnny Colla

The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a hawk to a little white dove More than a feeling that’s the power of love Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream Make a bad one good make a wrong one right Power of love that keeps you home at night [Chorus 1:] You don’t need money, don’t take fame Don’t need no credit card to ride this train It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes But it might just save your life That’s the power of love That’s the power of love First time you feel it, it might make you sad Next time you feel it it might make you mad But you’ll be glad baby when you’ve found That’s the power makes the world go'round [Chorus 2:] And it don’t take money, don’t take fame Don’t need no credit card to ride this train It’s strong and it’s sudden it can be cruel sometimes But it might just save your life They say that all in love is fair Yeah, but you don’t care But you’ll know what to do When it gets hold of you And with a little help from above You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Can you feel it? Hmmm [Chorus 3:] It don’t take money and it don’t take fame Don’t need no credit card to ride this train Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel You won’t feel nothin’ till you feel You feel the power, just feel the power of love That’s the power, that’s the power of love You feel the power of love You feel the power of love Feel the power of love

Nas "Ether" (2001)

Target: Jay Z

Producer: Ron Browz

Album: Stillmatic

Label: Ill Will/Columbia

Best Line: "Eminem murdered you on your own shit"

After Jay Z dropped "Takeover," a sleeping giant was awoken in Nas, giving God's Son the kick in the ass he needed to get his career back on track. Where "Takeover" was prepared like a finely written essay, "Ether" was more like a lunchroom taunt.

After the classic "Fuck Jay-Z" vocal sample, a far more vile Nas went in, calling Jay Z a camel, accusing "Gay Z" of being a Nas stan, and questioning Hov on his overuse of recycled B.I.G. lyrics. So vicious was the attack that "ether" has now become a verb in the hip-hop lexicon, and the song was arguably the launching pad Nas used to revive his at-the-time waning influence.

3. Jay Z "Takeover" (2001)

Target: Prodigy, Nas

Producer: Kanye West

Album: The Blueprint

Label: Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam

Best Line: "Four albums in 10 years nigga? I could divide/That's one every, let's say, two/Two of them shits was doo/One was naahhh, the other was Illmatic/That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average"

Jay Z and Nas had a longstanding rivalry and were engaged in a silent power struggle for years, but the shots remained (somewhat) subliminal until Jay Z called out Nas on stage at Hot 97's Summer Jam in 2001: "Ask Nas he don't want it with Hov." Nas subsequently took the bait and dissed Jay on his "Stillmatic" freestyle, prompting Jay to unleash the classic "Takeover."

Jay's response was crafted more like an essay than an actual battle rap, with Hov introducing the argument, analyzing the data, raising counter-arguments, and then concluding. Prodigy of Mobb Deep was dissed on the second verse, but this was dramatically overshadowed by Jay's beef with Nas. Hov's shots at P focused on his small stature, smaller record sales, and the infamous "ballerina" pic he flashed on the screen at Summer Jam 2001.

The Nas portion was far more brutal, attacking Nas' descent from hip-hop's top MC list to a guy who was now being out-rapped on posse cuts by his bodyguard. Jay went on to clown Nas' catalog, and on the final line alluded to sexing Nas' baby-mother, Carmen Bryan. Many speculated Nas' career would be finished after "Takeover," and some believe Prodigy was never able to recover.

2. 2Pac "Hit Em Up" (1996)

Target: Mobb Deep, Puffy, Junior M.A.F.I.A., Lil Kim, The Notorious B.I.G., Chino XL

Producer: Johnny J

Album: How Do U Want It [Single]

Label: Death Row/Interscope

Best Line: "That's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker"

Reworking the beat of the opponent's popular song? Check. Claiming relations with the opponent's baby-mama? Check. Poking fun at the opponent's physique and labeling him a biter? Check. Video parody? Check. Letting your little homies get in on the action? Check. On paper, 2Pac perfected and personified the diss song formula on "Hit Em Up," incorporating all of the elements those before him used to become victorious against their adversaries.

However, Pac kicked his up a few notches, taking this from a war of words to a war of coasts that eventually divided an entire hip-hop nation. What began as a beef between two rappers (Biggie and 2Pac) eventually turned into a battle between the West Coast-based Death Row Records and the East's Bad Boy Records, who were the top two labels in hip-hop at the time. This sent the media into a frenzy, who dubbed it the East Coast vs. West Coast war, which quickly became the most publicized and sensationalized hip-hop beef of all time.

In the wake of "Hit Em Up," two of hip-hop's greatest talents (B.I.G. and 2Pac) would be killed (both murders remain unsolved), changing the face of hip-hop—and beef—forever. This battle will forever be a reminder that, unless kept on wax, rap beef can quickly become real beef with dire consequences.

Protagonisti il Ministro di Governo De Mitri, sposato con Natalia, che vorrebbe intrattenere relazioni extra coniugali con la bellissima Susanna Rolandi, membro femminile del governo dell’opposizione.
