Once again The COC presents another exclusive from my boy T. Shirt. This time Shirt takes the concepts of movie titles and flips it into one of the illest songs I’ve heard in a while. I love when rappers take a concept and actually manage to follow through on it. Shirt takes it all the way with this one, in a manner similar to the GZA’s classic Labels. Darvin murdered the beat and the chorus is insane. Hit the jump for the lyrics with the links to each movie that is mentioned in the song. Thorough. Darvin and Shirt are creating some of the best Hip-Hop in the world right now. I would say lets make a movie but that’s too obvious right?

But this was no Casablanca baby ! There was no Singin’ In The Rain, no Mystic River, none of that. It was just The Kid, and The Usual Suspects.12 Monkeys trying to be Big Fish!
Once Upon A Time In America, Goodfellas in Modern Times set out to be The Incredibles, a Star Trek for A Wonderful Life. My Bourne Ultimatum, either a Taxi Driver or Paths Of Glory. The Million Dollar Baby willing to Die Hard for a Toy Story. The Big Lebowski doing Blow like Scarface is Pulp Fiction. If I become The Great Dictator send me some Shawshank Redemption. Stand By Me Old Boy! It’s Sin City in Central Station. Hip-Hop’s No Country For Old Men, it’s Grapes Of Wrath we facing. So we Changeling with a Sixth Sense, that’s L.A. Confidential. We Children Of Men, let’s Hope the 25th Hour ain’t Memento. Some Like It Hot, District 9 with a Touch Of Evil. Fuck that! U Turn 12 Angry Men to a bunch of Funny People. I tried Finding Nemo standing on The Bridge On The River Kwai. That’s metaphor for how I think I lost my Princess Bride. The Lady Vanishes into a Vanilla Sky of I_NY. A Brief Encounter but still, The Best Years Of Our Lives.
