you're a faggot

straight outta Compton
Is a brotha that'll smother yo' mother
And make ya sister think I love her
Dangerous motherfucker raises hell
And if I ever get caught I make bail
See, I don't give a fuck, that's the problem
I see a motherfuckin cop I don't dodge him
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see a punk pass, I smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin a nigga drivin
But don't know where the fuck he's going, just rollin
Lookin for the one they call Eazy
But here's a flash, they never seize me
Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark
Except when I unload, see I'll get over the hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration
Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin
But leave a memory no one'll be forgettin
So what about the bitch who got shot? Fuck her!
You think I give a damn about a bitch? I ain't a sucker!
This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever fuck with me
You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother
Word to the motherfucker, straight outta Compton

waiting for godot + endgame if you want to try his plays first

molloy trilogy if you want to go straight to prose

You can start with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wifcyo64n-w

i.e. an actual performance of his play and the only good filmed version that exists

also spot the difference in the dialogues between Vladimir and the kid in both acts.
The pronoun change.

Also, if you can read the Molloy trilogy in the original french, do it. I read in my native language which is closer to french than english is.
It was better than the english version.
Although I did read the english one and is also great.

What's your native language?

Try his short stories first, First Love, The End, Dante and the Lobster, Texts for Nothing if you want a real trip. Then move on to Murphy, Watt, Mercier and Camier. It's all good prep for the Trilogy.

Murphy is comedy gold.

You lot just reminded me that I needed to get Watt and Murphy. I've read Waiting for Godot (the natural starting point) and the trilogy. I absolutely love Beckett. Based on the four works I've read, he is my favorite modernist.

Just ordered some hardcover 1950s copies. Can't wait.
