Lol E-40 makes sense tho. He just change the words at the end.
Rae says whole sentences that makes zero sense with no explanation.
Yeah, another thing Rae does is this stream of consciousness type rap, where he'll take a topic and just throw a bunch of stuff about that topic out seemingly at random. So if you take a step back and look at the whole verse as a whole with the topic in mind, it makes sense. However, if you go line by line, it doesn't seem coherent. I have to say I hate when he does that ? . Rae is better when he's storytelling. He's on point then. -
I'm ready for 100 flags, nosigns and wacks but here goes;
I remember during the East/West beef Death Row was doing their thing and the East Coast was doing their thing.
At the time me and my friends thought that the West Coast rappers were too simple. I mean the sonic quality was good and they rapped on beat, but lyrically it wasn't advanced. They rapped like Rakim and LL Cool J in 1987.
The cats on the East Coast (Wutang, Nas, Gang Starr, Biggie, DITC, etc.) were using heavy slang and thats what we liked. We liked rappers that used heavy slang and deciphering what they were saying. We felt that the West Coast rappers that get so much praise (Pac, Kurrupt, Too $hort, Ice Cube, Snoop, etc.) were kinda boring. They didn't really use slang, they just used regular words to say whatever they were saying.
I'm ready for a bunch of negative reactions but thats how we felt. -

However, he's making another play on words because wicked also means evil, and Nimrod was a Babylonian king from the Bible and other texts that rebelled against ? . In plain English, he's just saying her body is really sexy. A fresh water scrod is a kinda fish. So applying that to the previous line, he's basically saying that her body lured him in and now he's caught i.e. she has him sprung.
The next line actually a bit harder to decipher if you don't listen to a lot of Wu. Vine = Devine one of the dudes in the management side of the Wu group at the time. I think he's related to Rza or something. C Allah Rule is 5% code or something like that, but it just means car as shown by the bolded letters. He was telling the chick that her style had him turned on like a car. Again that one was difficult if you don't listen to the Wu a lot, but if you do, you'd get it because make weird quasi-acronyms out of words all the time for some reason. Another common one they use is C Cypher Punk. The C is just the letter like the example from this song. A cypher in this case is a circle or the letter O and you take the P from Punk, and you get cop.
As for the last one, Shirley Temple Curls are a hairstyle based on Shirley Temple when she was a young actress and Billie Jean's was a local hair salon.
Bruh this spose to be a song about differnt flavor/types of women and I gotta decipher all this ? ? .... -

LOL it's metaphoric homie -
But ? hate any cry when Lupe goes in
*leaves thread forever* -
Cause I like the way they rap and their production. I don't need a song to teach me about something to be entertained. Dope beat, dope rhymes is all I need. Yall can have the "its gotta be relatable, have to be talkin about something for it to be dope", ? don't work that way for me. -
If this thread has taught us anything it's Rae>>>>>>>> Shakespeare
Wu Tang is for the children -
Both are the kings of talking mad random ?

Rap genius got us covered llz

This song happens to have one of Rae's more understanble verses I think.
Even if you don't understand haha How can you not ? wit it
While my pen blow lines ferocious
Mediterranean, see y'all, the number one draft pick
Tear down the beat ? , then delegate the ? to see ?
The swift chancellor, flex the white gold tarantula
Track truck diesel, play the weed ? substantiala
Max mostly, undivided then slide in sickening Guaranteed made 'em jump like Rod Strickland -

The closet type of conscious stream flows I've heard as of recently with that in mind was Willie the Kid on Masterpiece Theater with Alc. That project stays in constant rotation these days. -
Rae's BET Hiphop Awards cypher was one of the best ones ever spit
