This song off the bat is insane to begin with. Just like many of my joints on here it started from Klass D's beat. In it u notice he incorportated a west coast old school gangsta style base line which really set the tone for the whole song. While startn to recordn the intro in the song i couldnt help laughn cas of what all of us was talkn bout the mainstream rap music and how silly it is. So i decided to write the whole verse in a different tone then i normally do my songs with. With a higher tone, it gave me the oppertunity to be smoother but still direct with my verse.
The 1st verse starts off with talkn to rappers with "So trust u dont know Knowledge, so dont get ya shit twisted like hooked-on-phonics" I used that as a direct refernece to how stupid some rappers punchlines can be and sarcastically down playing their whole approach to a song. Now talkn to the people that buy and play that type of garbage rap music with c'mon "Lets be honest, more than half of these rappers now-a-days is garbage, and yet u buy that shit, and ride to that shit, they minus well jus wife ya chic, and hype ya splif, smoke back and get high (with ya) shit, since (oviously) rhyme died and shit" which talks about basically you let them control you and now they run everything you do and you become a slave or a whore to a pimp. Continuing on with my sarcastic verse with "and maybe now a whole bunch of rap niggas can say they artist, and maybe then these rap cats can say that they the hardest". Flippn the tone and going back to my normal self with "but naw, cas emcees like me dont believe in hip-pop-cracy, its gotta be a spot where we can operate (as a reference to the hiphop spots where emcees can freely perform and network) Co Operate!? (as in work together with rappers us as serious emcees are against) naw ya shit we dont tolerate, we dominate, cas we dominent, and more prominent to leave you spent (tired, played out) with these rhymes that we kick". To go into comparing rappers to me as an emcee, i say "Our styles is more heaven sent, ya styles is more irrelevent". The becoming fustrated with toying with rappers i use my infamous deep tone with "To the motherfuckn matter at hand, and ill be damn if u boys try ta go against a man, with a mic in one hand, and a sword in another (in referece to me being known to walk around with a acuall sword in my hand) my brother, dont have me leave ya shit smotherd with the butter luvers (in reference to Onyx) ya punk suckas dont desearve to life....haha....and im jus telln it like it is man"
The hook was insane also. I came up with it on the fly cas i was gonna use the words in the 2nd verse but i wanted Klass to do it. It goes "These rappers talkn shit like...sayn that it hits like....braggn that they shits tight...when it aint even iight". When i was writting the song i had the idea of Monotone Jones to say the part "And U Know This" because of his chill but deep voice. Klass later got on the hook and echoes "And U Know This" after Jones. Which in way brought him into the mix with intencipation on his pressence on the song.
The secound verse was Klass D, which i must say the verse was actually longer than mines but he killed it. I always enjoyed Klass's sound and the way he presents himself on the track with such medaphores with a different approach. Must say insane.
The whole song wrapped up with the idea of me basically telling people you know this, u know whut your listen'n to and buying, dont act like its all them.
