You want Noir music, Jelly Roll'll give you noir music. Jelly
Roll
Morton's Murder Ballad, parts 1 through 7 are available on The
Pearls,
Volume 3 of The Library of Congress Recordings, released by
Rounder. It
is the tale of a woman who murders, goes to prison, where she
is taken
by another woman before finally being put to death. It is as
extreme,
graphic and "real" as any gangsta rap. As a matter of fact, I'm
very
surprised I've never heard it sampled by a gangsta
rapper.
