10 Most Badass Songs Of All Time
4. Run The Jewels - Panther Like A Panther (Miracle Mix Edit)
The opening freestyle is an hilarious, audacious tone-setter for a song that boasts "I'm the sh*t, bitch" as both its refrain and mission statement. Killer Mike brags, after clearing his throat with an unnecessary, ironic flex, about something you can't do.
You.
He can.
He can eat nunnery p*ssy. He's the sh*t. Mike is so good at eating nunnery p*ssy, in fact, that he leaves her "shakin' and squirtin'".
The rapid, colliding electronic beat is so fast, dangerous, cool and sinister that it's as if El-P is working away, relentlessly, to hack the very essence of confidence, backed all the way with a rumbling bass that drives you down the street, even if you're on foot. There's a neat precision to the song that fits the theme perfectly. It is unwavering and outrageously self-assured. Not a second is wasted.
"I refuse to play humble as though my d*ck itty-bitty / I got banana d*ck yo bitch go apesh*t if she hit it."
It's a song so drenched in confidence that you can look down at your own bang-average at best, decidedly not banana-sized d*ck, and think slightly better of yourself.
