Rock and Roll Tarot - Four of Voice
Chris Paradis

Description: LL Cool J is pictured, extending one arm forward in a typical hip hop posture. The lyric on the card reads: “The beat elevates and the scratch excels ROCK the BELLS.”

LWC: solidity of fire LL Cool J the beat elevates and the scratch excels rock the bells

My take: Yikes. I know virtually nothing about the hip-hop/rap scene, and I’ve never even heard this song. But the explanation “solidity” can be taken as another synonym for completion”. When something is solid it is strong, able to withstand the test of time. The lyric “the beat elevates and the scratch excels” is a proud declaration, stating that the music
is complete. It is at its highest level—excellent—and can elevate those who listen to the same level. It is solid, strong, complete.
