DMX "WHO WE BE"...the concept and writing on this song always blows my mind

[Art Barr]

explain in more detail about the songs jay bit
i just listened to scapegoat just now that song is flames

God's bathroom floor and girl with the tattoo hands, as the majors tried to act like the underground and online rap acts did not exist to phase it out.
So, the majors could go emo and try to capitalize on slug mainly white demographic.
Including the online rap draw as a whole.


The whole rap game is basically white boi music now.
They studied especially rocafella cause they invested in the old site and community on the low.
While trying to act like even I did not exist and at the same time.
Yet you had defjam artist and produces trying to make a name and get props by publically calling me out because I had some bytch mae impersonator starting bullshyt on peoples feeds and sites.
nikkaz is calling my phone with praise for ju.
Yet not trying to put him or slug on.
All cause they would be exposed and eclipsed if they featured with either of them.

Kanye is from a good black single mother home slug.
Jayz is drug dealer slug.
The whole rap game is what if slug was a gangsta on auto tune with no voice.

The whole rap game has no vocal tonality.
all because the industry is tryin to copy slug's draw.
The whole rap world is wannabe white mixed emo rapper, slug.

Sp, When nikkaz try to tell you.
some rapper is hood and got weak ass vocals ans belly ache'n about a bytch.
Wit some ol Depeche mode ass triphop beat.
You can just know he a wannabe white rapper and all these nikkaz in general are wannabe white rappers.

It is the greatest coup of any genre ever.
Get a black artist to be a white artist and not know it.
Even the beats are white boy beats with 808's to cover it up.

I fukking hated Hiphopinfinity.com. Bunch of corny fat crackers running that site.

I hated them too, but nikkaz basically made the entire rap game hiphopinfinity based views.
Every rapper is basically slug in a gangsta rap genre.

Yup sample Peter tosh

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

The top real grassroots draw in all of rap.
The industry studied and swayed the rest of the rap world to be after he got a major distribution.

Dawg,..if a rapper debuted after 2003.
They are slug and don't know it.
To the point the marketing agency that does most of the shyt in rap.
is the marketing agency that sprung up from grassroots promoting slug.

[T.H.E.GOD]

I won't even front. Didn't appreciate the song until just now reAding those lyrics...

 

[gho3st]

What they don't know is!
The bullshyt, the drama (uhh), the guns, the armour (what?)
The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama (what?!)
The projects, the drugs (uhh!), the children, the thugs
(uhh!) The tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs (c'mon!)
The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins (uhh!)
The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often (why?!)
The problems, the things, we use, to solve 'em (what?!)
Yonkers, the Bronx (uhh!), Brooklyn, Harlem (c'mon!)
The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain (uhh!)
The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!)
The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what?!)
The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c'mon!)
The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!)
The one that gave 'em the slugs, the one that put 'em in me
(whoo!) The snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!)
The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree (c'mon!)

What we seeing is!
The streets, the cops, the system, harrassment (uh-huh)
The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked
(aight) The lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle (uh-huh)
The release, the warning, "Try not, to get in trouble" (damn!)
The snitches, the odds (uhh), probation, parole (what?!)
The new charge, the bail, the warrant, the hole (damn!)
The cell, the bus, the ride, up North (uh-huh)
The greens, the boots, the yard, these hearts (uhh!)
The fightin, the stabbin, the pullin, the grabbin (what?!)
The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened
(what?!) The two years in a box, revenge, the plots (uhh!)
The twenty-three hours that's locked, the one hour that's not
(uhh!) The silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile (aight!)
The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you
(damn) The days, the months, the years, dispair
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer

This here is all about!
My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh)
Through the night, I was his (uh-huh), it was right, but I did
(uh-huh) My ups, and downs (uhh), my slips, my falls (uhh)
My trials and tribulations (uhh), my heart, my balls (uhh)
My mother, my father, I love 'em, I hate 'em (uhh!)
Wish God, I didn't have 'em, but I'm glad that he made 'em
(uhh!) The roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats (what, what?!)
The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap
The hustlin, the dealin, the robbin, the stealin (uhh!)
The shyt, hit the ceilin, little boy, with no feelin's
(damn) The frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage
Got beatin's 'til the age, I carried a twelve gauge
(aight!) Somebody stop me (please!), somebody come and get me
(what?!) Little did I know, that the Lord was ridin with me
The dark, the light (uhh), my heart (uhh), the fight (uhh)
The wrong (uhh!), the right (uhh!), it's gone (uhh!), aight?



this nikka is literally just saying words ...but we get the concept and the meaning...and its such a powerful message

dont think he's just saying words as there is a relation between all of them
