Black Cobain: “We Are Young”

July 17, 2012 in Music, Reviews

As Black Cobain continues to drop free tracks for his fans after his recent “Cheers” mixtape release, we run into something we’re already quite familiar with. The band “Fun,” has gained a large amount of popularity due to their song “We Are Young.” Becoming one of the theme songs for this year, the original song creates an image of a young generation who parties hard and lives their life to the limit.

Cobain sees this song as an opportunity to express what he has been going through this past year as an up and coming artist. He starts out the song by shouting out his record label “B.O.A.” and raps about how their come up as a young group has led to many new experiences, witnessing haters and non believers along the way. With the end of his first verse we see that after everything Cobain has gone through, the outcome has been “more brown liquor in [his] kidneys.” He is implying that he doesn’t care about the obstacles he faces in life. He’s getting paid and chooses to spend his money for his enjoyment. Check out the track below and leave a comment. Don’t forget to share.
