Laurentiu Mocanu (born June 2, 1986), better known by his stage name Guess Who is a Romanian rapper. He began his career as a member of the rap group Anonim along with group members Zekko and Griffo, and later launched a successful solo career in music. He is one of the most successful artists from the new wave of Romanian hip hop and has gained considerable appreciation and mainstream attention in his native Romania following the release of his first solo album in 2009 called Probe Audio (Sound Checks). Guess Who gained popularity as a solo artist in 2007 when he leaked three tracks he had recorded for his solo album on the Internet. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and his cynical and ironic approach to writing quickly earned him a large fanbase. Even though he repeatedly delayed for over two years releasing his first album, the Romanian audience received it well and he even gained attention from high level Romanian music executives when his video for the first single Tu (You) was aired on the Romanian music channel 1Music.
His first album, Probe Audio was released and sold independently from his official website under the Okapi Sound umbrella, a collective of Romanian hip hop artists who had been working together producing music since 2007. Only promoted on the Internet, the album moved an impressive number of units, drawing attention from large Romanian labels. He eventually signed a contract with Cat Music to re-relase his album with the sports newspaper Gazeta Sporturilor (literally 'The Sports Newspaper' in Romanian) together with labelmate and music partner Spike, who released his sophomore effort in 2009.
Early life and career:
Guess Who was born Laurentiu Mocanu in Bucharest, Romania in 1984. As a child, he enjoyed sports and even played soccer for the Bucharest-based club Steaua. [1]As a child he became interested in hip hop music and eventually started performing with his friends creating the hip hop group Anonim in 1999. They caught the attention of Romanian hip hop group Paraziţii after they entered a contest organized by 20 CM Records where they recorded a demo song over an instrumental produced by Cheloo for Paraziţii and released on one of the group's albums as a track called 'Actiunea Instrumentalul' (The Instrumental Operation). They eventually signed a contract with 20 CM Records and released their debut album in 2005. As Paraziţii are one of the most proeminent hip hop acts in Romania, Anonim were heavily promoted and toured extensivly to promote their album. The group went quiet in late 2006 and Guess Who resurfaced alone in 2007 on Paraziţii member Ombladon's solo album singing the chorus in the lead single, 'Noapte Buna, Bucuresti' (Good Night, Bucharest). Shortly afterwards, Mocanu left 20 CM Records and started working with Agresiv, a team of producers who were already gaining notoriety for their work with various Romanian artists.
Hey Jude
Guess Who Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude
The song Hey Jude by The Beatles is a song written by Paul McCartney and is believed to have been written specifically to console John Lennon's son when his parents were getting divorced. The opening lines of the song are derived from McCartney's own experience when he tried to comfort Lennon's son Julian as he stood in the shadow of his parents' breakup. The song begins with McCartney urging Jude to take a sad song and make it better. The message of the song is that everyone goes through difficult times and entering someone's heart and sharing the burden is the best way to overcome them.
Throughout the song, McCartney continues to sing encouragement at Jude. He reminds Jude that he is made to go and get the person he loves and that he should not let the pain weigh him down. He also reminds Jude that he does not need anyone else to succeed, but only himself. By the end of the song, McCartney sings that Jude will be able to start to make things better for himself if he can let his loved one into his heart.
The song remains one of the most popular and influential pieces of popular music in history, and it has been covered by more than 50 other artists. Some popular covers of the song include those by Elvis Presley, Wilson Pickett, and The Temptations. Hey Jude was recorded in 1968 and became one of the longest running singles ever released by The Beatles, staying at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks.
