BILLIE JEAN RAP _ FUSION Tempo: 117 BPM Style: Funky Hip-Hop (iconic Billie Jean bassline + crisp snare, with modern rap edge) Vibe: Cool, mysterious, confident [INTRO - 0:00-0:20] (Iconic bassline kicks in first, then crisp snare on 2&4) DJ scratch effect: "Billie Jean my way ... yeah!" Brother G Pinnacle Sound in the groove Thank you Michael for the music it lives on forever Synth stab hits on beat 1 Rapper ad-lib: "Check check check... let's go!" [VERSE 1 - 0:20-0:55] (Bassline drives hard, snare super tight, subtle claps on off-beats) Yeah, check the moves, watch the way I step Same rhythm, different level, yeah you know the rep They ask how I keep it solid, how I keep it clean Keep my name out your mouth, keep your eyes on the scene I don’t chase the hype, I let the hype chase me From the basement to the top, yeah we moving steadily She say I’m the one, say I’m everything she need But I walk my own lane, I follow where I lead Got that leather jacket swag, gold chain gleam Every step calculated like a chess game dream They copy every flow but can’t catch the steam I’m original flavor – ain’t no in-between! [PRE-CHORUS - 0:55-1:10] (Bassline pulls back slightly, synth arp builds tension) All eyes on me when I hit the floor That beat so sick, you know you want some more They talk all night but they don’t know the score Here we go now – let’ the bass kick one more! [CHORUS - 1:10-1:40] (Full beat drops – bass + snare + handclaps + funky rhythm guitar) Don’t act like you know me, don’t act like you seen I keep it classic like the king, keep it smooth like Billie Jean Ain’t nothing changed but the time, still the same old team We don’t do drama, we just do the dream Don’t act like you know me, don’t act like you seen I keep it classic like the king, keep it smooth like Billie Jean Ain’t nothing changed but the time, still the same old team We don’t do drama, we just do the dream! *(*Ad-lib: "Yeah yeah... Billie Jean") [BRIDGE/INSTRUMENTAL BREAK - 1:40-2:05] (Bassline takes center stage, snare does quick rolls) Funky rhythm guitar solo over the top DJ scratch: "Classic... smooth... clean!" Rapper ad-lib: "That’s right... feel that bass... come on!" [VERSE 2 - 2:05-2:40] (Beat comes back full force, adds shaker and cowbell) See me gliding through the crowd like I’m on air Every word I spit is gold, yeah I’m rare She said she met me once back in ‘83 But I was on the mic making history Don’t mix me up with them other guys you see I’m in a league of my own – that’s guaranteed Got that moonwalk flow when I’m on the mic Turn the whole room up – make the speakers spike They try to replicate but they lack the soul That’s why I’m standing tall while they losing control I keep it funky fresh, never lose the goal Billie Jean flavor in my rap roll! [PRE-CHORUS - 2:40-2:55] (Bass pulls back, synth builds again) All eyes on me when I hit the floor That beat so sick, you know you want some more They talk all night but they don’t know the score Here we go now – let’s hit it hard core! [CHORUS - 2:55-3:25] (Even bigger than first chorus – added background vocals) Don’t act like you know me, don’t act like you seen I keep it classic like the king, keep it smooth like Billie Jean Ain’t nothing changed but the time, still the same old team We don’t do drama, we just do the dream Don’t act like you know me, don’t act like you seen I keep it classic like the king, keep it smooth like Billie Jean Ain’t nothing changed but the time, still the same old team We don’t do drama, we just do the dream! *(*Background vocals: "Oh-oh-oh... Billie Jean! Oh-oh-oh... Fusion!") [OUTRO - 3:25-3:55] (Beat starts to fade, bassline and snare remain) Rapper: "Yeah... that’s how we do it – classic and new Billie Jean – all day for you Keep it smooth, keep it clean, keep it funky too This is how we move – what you gonna do?" Brother G locked in (Bassline plays iconic riff one last time) Snare hits final crisp shot Synth fades out with vinyl scratch effect Final ad-lib: "Billie Jean...my way we.. out!"
