36 oz – a key of cocaine<br /><br />Used to buy toasters and clips<br />- Nicknames for guns and ammo<br /><br />You can tighten your circle or boa constrict<br />- Boa Constrictors are known for squeezing their prey (“tightening their circle”)<br /><br />While you was lighting your purple, I was over the scripts<br />- While folks were getting high (“purple” refers to kush, weed, etc.), Lu’s eyes were over his glasses, studying up (“scripts”)<br /><br />See, I couldn’t walk the walk, couldn’t really talk the talk<br />Had to get my talk to properly explain my walk<br />Cause this lack in talk had my walk looking off<br />Now I’m over the limp<br />Watch how they mugs drop when they see my Verbal’s able (That’s the Usual)<br />- Last two lines refer to revelation in The Usual Suspects when Palminteri drops his coffee “mug” and realizes that Verbal Kint is “able” to walk (he’s “over the limp”,)<br /><br />When I was po’, I was lo<br />Now me and my chaps cop Purple Label<br />It’s Ralph Lauren on the Rap Laureate<br />- Po & Lo refer to famed designer Ralph Lauren’s “Polo” clothing brand. “Chaps” is a British term, which ties into Purple Label, Ralph Lauren’s signature British line.<br /><br />Niggas brownnose, they are like Alf to him<br />- Alf is a brown alien from late 80s/90s sitcom ALF (who has a “brown nose”)<br /><br />Runners at Interscope are not as stout as him<br />- Interscope is an record label while stout is a play on words and a reference to Steve Stoute, who once held an executive position at Interscope Records.<br /><br />Please don’t enter scope<br />- Plays on “Interscope” from previous line<br /><br />It’s gonna be a whole lot of IV’ing and respirating<br />- IV’ing is a play on words referring to Jimmy Iovine, one of the founders of Interscope Records.<br /><br />If I lean out this window with Irene<br />- People used to call their guns by female names so they couldn’t be traced (like how a 9mm handgun is referred to as a “Nina”), which also ties into the previous line (getting shot, put in the hospital, being on IV’s and respirator systems)<br /><br />Niggas as tall as Yao Ming<br />With L-U-P-Emperor<br />Is the foundation’s high beams and the antennas<br />It’s so serious every time I write my John Hancock like<br />Could damn near see Detroit<br />Niggas is scared of heights<br />- Serious is a play on words, a reference to the Sears Tower in Chicago; John Hancock Center is a Chicago skyscraper and antennas sit atop it. Lupe is the “foundation” of hip hop and niggas is scared of the depth of his rhymes (“heights”)<br /><br />This is saran wrap and aluminum foil<br />Some potpourri, a little machine oil<br />I, stack my paper and throw off my cents<br />This is top flo’, better look out below<br />Pennies from heaven is the same as the semi from the second<br />And I reign supreme<br />Turn your umbrellas upside down<br />Did you even catch the change in theme? (this is gangsta man)<br />- Saran wrap, aluminum foil, potpourri and machine oil are all used to disguise the smell of drugs from police dogs; Cents is a double meaning for “scents” (which ties into the previous lines); Flo is a play on words for “floor” and “flow”, continuing the building metaphor; Pennies (a known myth stating if dropped from a building, a penny could kill a human) & bullets from a semi “rain” at you, which ties into the next line (“I rain/reign supreme”); Normally, an umbrella is right-side up, but you turn it upside down to literally “catch the change” (referring to the “pennies from heaven” line)<br /><br />The entire first verse features a subtle movement of height theme from paving streets, then he’s “over the limp”, meaning he’s getting taller, then up to the foundations, to the John Hancock center where “you could damn near see Detroit”.<br /><br />[2nd Verse]<br />And them niggas ain’t Was, nor from his regime<br />-Was’ is short for Wasulu, Lupe’s government name and “regime” refers to his label, 1st & 15th.<br /><br />Gangsta lean<br />Hats on tilt like your Snickers ain’t drop out the vending machine<br />You gotta put more money in<br />And I shake niggas up every time I drop a bar (2 for 1)<br />- “Gangsta lean” plays on “tilt” in the next line. When a person’s Snickers gets stuck in the vending machine, people either put more money in (to get 2) or shake the vending machine (or “tilt” it). Bar is a double meaning for bar (as in rhyme) and bar (as in candy bar).<br /><br />It’s horse in the Porsche and bricks in the box<br />Like mo’ money them, every time I cop a car<br />- Horse refers to the horsepower in a Porsche and bricks refer to stashed kilos of cocaine. He gets more money every time he gets a car (because of the cocaine in the box).<br /><br />You see I’m a roller, right<br />So it might be a Rover, right<br />But every time I drop a ‘r’<br />It’s “over” aight<br />- “Rover” refers to a Range Rover. Drop an ‘r’ from “rover” and you get “over”… pretty simple.<br /><br />Bet I be in her head like overnight<br />Like rollers, right<br />She the chauffeur, right<br />So I keep her sober<br />She don’t get fed ex like overnight<br />I am Dolemite<br />- Women put rollers in their hair when they go to bed (overnight). Fed Ex acts as a double meaning; Fed Ex (as in the overnight shipping company) and Fed X (as in fed ecstasy, which is why he “keeps her sober”). Dolemite, refers to the first line (“Bet I be in her head like overnight), a pimp, stays in his girl’s head and controls her mind.<br /><br />All that gas can’t help you, but solar might<br />So just call on ’sun’<br />Drop a ’s’<br />Pick up an ‘o’<br />U-no, put it all on “one”<br />- Pretty self-explanatory: Solar power refers to the sun. SUN – ‘S’ + O = U-NO. Uno is spanish for the number “one”.<br /><br />And, brace yourself like overbite<br />For that quiet nigga that relocated down south<br />Coming back to floss<br />Nigga get your molars right<br />Fix your grill<br />No plaque, but a whole lot of cheese<br />This the drill, Mr. Chill<br />- This particular set of bars feature a running dentist/mouth theme (“Brace”, “Overbite”, “Floss”, “Molars”, “Grill”, “Plaque”, “Cheese”, “Drill”). Braces are used to correct overbites. No platinum “plaque” but a whole lot of money (“cheese”). Mr. Chill is a reference to Lupe’s 1st & 15th partner, Chilly.<br /><br />Gave me the green light like Yoda knife<br />So I’ma force my will<br />Like the Force I will<br />Of course you will<br />- Green light refers to Yoda’s lightsaber, of Star Wars fame. The next couple of bars feature a double meaning; one meaning refers to the use of the Force and the Jedi Mind Trick used to control people in Star Wars while the other meaning refers to Green Lantern, whose ring receives its power from sheer WILLpower.<br /><br />Take my time<br />But weight behind only pertains to that Porsche grill<br />It’s snakes in the hood<br />Gotta watch for that Cobra bite<br />Let me see, there’s snakes in the hood<br />A bird, a horse behind the grill<br />Some gator on the seat<br />And a fox behind the wheel<br />No, it’s not Noah’s ark<br />Ahk, it’s just a flower’s start<br />- Weight is a play on words; (wait, which ties into the previous line (“take my time”), and weight (drugs), which is usually stashed behind the grill of a car. There’s also a continuing animal theme (“snakes”, “cobra”, “bird”, “horse”, “gator”, “fox”) and it’s tied together by Lupe revealing that it’s not Noah’s ark, a biblical boat that was used to store animals. “snakes = backstabbers”, “bird=drugs (behind the grill)”, “horse = horsepower”, “gator=alligator seats”, “fox=attractive female”.<br /><br />[3rd Verse]<br />For achiever<br />My procedure’s<br />To proceed at all cost, no breather<br />I’m all walk<br />Rain, snow or fever<br />I’m all coughs, coming after your teacher<br />- Postal Service: through Rain, Sleet or Snow. “Coughs” line connects with the previous line’s fever reference.<br /><br />I’m on the ball like FIFA<br />Viva, Lupe Dulce<br />Love Live the Leader<br />- FIFA is the Federation Internationale de Football Associatio (soccer). Dulce is Italian for “emperor”. Viva II Dulce is an Italian reference for “Long Live the Leader”, most famous for being Benito Mussolini’s catchphrase.<br /><br />I remember I ain’t have sneakers<br />It was welfare<br />Coming up for air like whales there<br />Filas<br />But now I’m well here<br />I’m Shamu with twelve pair<br />And niggas wanna take my back to zero like tare, fare<br />Well, my scale’s clear<br />- Whales have to come up for air to breathe (unlike fish); Air is also a reference for (Nike) Airs, which ties into the sneaker theme and the next line’s reference to Filas. “Coming up for airs” also refers to how Lupe had to “come up” to be able to cop sneakers. “Well here” is a play on the world “whale”. Lupe is Shamu(the whale) with twelve pairs (of sneakers).

The “Keep my dogs” line has a double meaning (blind people usually travel with guide “dogs” and Bumpy Johnson kept his “dogs (protectors)” in front of him. He asks do you “see” what he’s saying and the final line is a double meaning (one meaning, being selling kilos of coke, andthe other, a reference to blind pianists (who push piano keys wonderfully).Cool Confusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06755865526484656610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933514592300071707.post-61365241230066116892010-03-13T15:02:00.000-08:002010-03-13T15:03:58.070-08:00Coexist, <br />the devils in the dealer, the poltergiest is in the pokerchips,<br />Game changer, I practice Iron Swan Song, Tiger Palm & Cobra Fist,<br />Go by many slang name's and sobriquets,<br />Asking me how many lines is in my mind is like asking how many fish can the ocean fit,<br />I set out to do the impossible like an open fist,<br />Achieve the unbelievable like throwing Open Pit,<br />The last line refers to flying saucers, <br />A rhyming Chaucer who came from District 9 but now he's flying over it,<br />Battle Jay Elect?

After taking a self-imposed hiatus during the second half of 2009, the Harlem-reppin’ rapper known for his affinity for Sonic The Hedgehog and the color pink isn’t on top of his usually good-natured game here.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 16px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">The problem isn’t that Hamilton doesn’t have the same witty lyrics he had when he burst onto the Internet rap scene in 2008. To the contrary, on the mixtape’s best track, the menacing “New Music From Charles Hamilton,” he proves it by rapping, “I run the Web like backslash/H, double T, P, colon, kiss my Black ass.” Likewise, he takes aim at his critics on the aggressive “Enter The Scope” and successfully breaks down his skills on the mic on the catchy “See & Say.”</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 16px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">But not all of <em>Normalcy</em> follows this formula. Rather than rely on his deft lyricism, Charles resorts to obnoxious chuckling on the hook to the otherwise appealing “Workin In The Lab.” Likewise, he cleverly samples Gloria Estefan’s “Bad Boy” on the female-friendly “She’s Purrty” but butchers the chorus with AutoTune. And on one of the mixtape’s more bizarre efforts, Hamilton weirdly does his best to explain that he’s been immunized against the dreaded “Coodies.”</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 16px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">Fortunately, Hamilton is talented enough to make the majority of <em>Normalcy</em> listenable. But if he wants to achieve any level of success in the future, he probably needs to think about the problem he comes across on the aptly-titled “Loserville,” where he raps, “Smart as a whip but artistic/All my targets get hit but y’all missed my thoughts.” From the sound of things, <em>Normalcy</em>is anything but a standard effort from Charles Hamilton.<em> —Chris Yuscavage</em></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 16px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "><i>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</i></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 12px !important; line-height: 16px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "><i>Seems pretty spot on although I like the chorus for "She's Purrty"</i></p></span>Cool Confusionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06755865526484656610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933514592300071707.post-10960442482940294402010-01-03T17:48:00.000-08:002010-01-03T18:28:50.248-08:00Mixtape of the week<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20091231-REUNION.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20091231-REUNION.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This is a new series I'm starting where I post my favorite mixtape (and with the state of the music industry probably the best release) released during the week. My first pick is Talib Kweli and Hi Teks The RE:Union Mixtape. New Tracks, unreleased stuff, remixes, and your favorite songs from back in the day. (Although if you're on the Illuminati tip you might not want to fuck with this as track 25 features Jay-Z) But for those of you who don't drink the conspiracy Kool Aid listen away.<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(96, 102, 102); line-height: 19px; ">01 Intro<br />02 Reflection Eternal – Revolutions Per Minute<br />03 Reflection Eternal – In This World<br />04 Reflection Eternal – Hip Hop<br />05 Reflection Eternal – Back Again<br />06 Talib Kweli – Wishing On A Black Star<br />07 Reflection Eternal – Just Begun f.
