En abril de 1967, una banda británica llamada Procol Harum emergió en el panorama musical, liderada por el carismático Gary Brooker. Brooker era un talentoso pianista y vocalista, conocido por su habilidad para fusionar el rock con elementos de música clásica. Le acompañaban el letrista Keith Reid, el guitarrista Robin Trower, el baterista B.J. Wilson, el tecladista Matthew Fisher y el bajista David Knights.
No tardaron mucho en dejar su huella en la música. En mayo de 1967, lanzaron su primer sencillo, "A Whiter Shade of Pale", una mezcla hipnótica de rock, pop y música clásica, adornada con el órgano de Fisher y la evocadora letra de Reid. La canción no solo se convirtió en un éxito mundial, sino que también estableció a Procol Harum como pioneros del rock sinfónico. Hasta el día de hoy, es considerada una de las piezas más icónicas de la música moderna.
A medida que avanzaba su carrera, la formación de Procol Harum sufrió varios cambios. Robin Trower dejó la banda en 1971 para seguir una carrera en solitario, siendo reemplazado por Dave Ball y posteriormente por Mick Grabham. A pesar de estos cambios, el núcleo creativo constituido por Brooker y Reid mantuvo cohesionado el grupo.
Keep It Thoro Song Lyrics
Keep It Thoro by Procol Harum [sinister laughter]
Oh y'all niggas killers now, oh word?
Catch you comin out your f**kin crib nigga
Yeah, catch a f**kin bullet nigga
[Prodigy]
Ayo, I break bread, ribs, hundred dollar bills
Peel on the Ducatis and other four wheels
Write a book full of medicine and generate mills
Tour the album, only for more sales
We used to catch those on the block with crills
Now it's paid shows, promoters post up bills
Sign deals only if the math is real
If you can't match numbers then you can't have the Head Nigga In Charge
Of sh*t, live nigga rhymes artist
Pardon, P dub shines regardless
Remorseless, haunt niggas like poltergeists
My advice, 'fore you get like that, is think twice
'fore you move on it, put jewels on it, who want it
Loose niggas make the news when we start formin'
Snatch stripes off a nigga's uniform often
Doin it past yo' delf you way out your jurisdiction
Why niggas bullsh*t on the grill
I don't f**k around dunny, this move's real
I Keep It Thoro nigga
Yo let me back up for 'em, lemme back up, yo, yo
Why niggas bullsh*t on the grill
I don't f**k around dunny, this move's real
I gave birth to your whole style and feel
How do it feel, to hold my dick in public
Cock blower, duplicate rap cloner
It's me and you do it live on stage for dolo
I smack niggas like you, smash niggas by the tools
Grab niggas by the throat, show 'n' prove
Rhymes cocky, crazy ill, mad rowdy
Did a buck off of my sh*t and wrapped your outtie
Tempermental, I snap quick, very touchy
Ayo my attitude is all f**ked up and real sh*tty
I rap like no one out there can f**k wit me
You feel different, niggas see me
I throw a TV at you crazy, b**ches say P you crazy
A +Pain in Da Ass+, nah but +f**k you, Pay me+
I'm no shorty, nigga I stop your glory
I'm a thorough street nigga for real, you just applaud me
Avoid P, man take your baby mom's advice
I'm nothing sweet, I'll with the guns, you pay the price
When you see me in the streets soldier, salute me
You just a groupie, oh you gangsta, then shoot me
Who gives a f**k really, I miss my nigga Twin, kill me
So I can join the rest of my falls, up in the heavens
You rap niggas make me laugh, y'all crazy ass
And I don't give a f**k what you sold, that sh*t is trash
Bang this, 'cause I gurantee that you bought it
Heavy airplay all day wit no chorus
I Keep It Thoro nigga...
