There’s a strange scene in the already strange (and awful) 90’s movie Street Fighter where a hero, Chun-Li, confronts the villain, Bison, and tells him that the day he killed her parents ruined her life. With sheer, raw evil, Bison replies, “To me it was just a Tuesday.” Although his line is pretty funny in the context of the movie (because it’s just so, so bad), Chun-Li’s anguish is something artists experience quite regularly. Upon achieving success, the people who persistently doubted them don’t even remember their doubts, despite how it affected the artists. For artists, this is truly frustrating.
Bizzy Crook is no stranger to this experience. On “Amnesia” he contrasts his doubters’ amnesia with his inability to forget their every word. This isn’t a particularly new story in rap, but Bizzy changes gears by telling it in a way that isn’t overly boastful or concerned with vengeance. Instead of gleefully saying, “Look at me now!” he calmly asks, “How could you forget why you didn’t look before?” Bizzy wants accountability, not revenge. He wants to understand how people’s perception of him can alter so drastically when he feels so unchanged. Watch “Amnesia” below. Bizzy Crook knows how to tell a story.
