Villanelle


A villanelle I wrote for a class way back when:
 
First heard it when Tribe sampled Weldon Irvine
  Award Tour, Steve Biko, I could never forget
  6 years old, the year Cantaloop made US3
From Midnight Marauders to Low End Theory
  Alice, cried Coltrane, not quar but Four Tet
  First heard it when Tribe sampled Weldon Irvine
 Hoagy Carmicheal meet The Stark Reality
 Hootie the first tape I put in my deck
  6 years old, the year Cantaloop made US3  

Madlib and Blue Note, Please Set Me At Ease
  He played with the Tea Set, Roger, he goes by Barrett
  First heard it when Tribe sampled Weldon Irvine
I know Burroughs would be proud of Madvillainy
RZA, GZA, U-GOD, Method, and Inspectah Deck
6 years old, the year Cantaloop made US3
Can I Kick It bassline courtesy of Lou Reed
And I'll be nodding my neck till I'm no longer yet
First heard it when Tribe sampled Weldon Irvine
6 years old, the year Cantaloop made US3
