Real Gangsta Love (Accurate version with lyrics romanized text, chords)-Trueno

The track uses the hook from "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (2001) by Eve featuring Gwen Stefani of No Doubt.

All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics. If some notes are too difficult to play, omit them.

The vocals are typed using a a suboctave treble clef. This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand in any octave you prefer.

The right hand imitates the vocal delivery by Trueno and Salomé: the Trueno's predominant vocal style is staccato, Salomé's — legato.

The chanting is built on repetition of one note so focus on precise rhythm. It might be tiring to play on the piano with forte touch, play pianissimo.

"Real Gangsta Love" is composed with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats.

The left hand provides with musical texture. _"Real Gangsta Love"_ is homophonic: harmony supports the vocal line with chords.

_"Real Gangsta Love"_ is transcribed in the original *key,* E Minor, and uses two extended minor chords *Em/C Bm7.* Em/C can be read as Cmaj7 but the key is E Minor that's why I think Em/C is a proper chord symbol.

A chord change lacks motion and is fundamentally static: there is no sense of progression, only briefly displaced pedal tones. Its only use is to mark time.
