What the fukk was Camp Lo talking about?

[I love Latina women]

The beats on their first album were great but what the fukk was these nikkas talking bout?

This video is still one of the tightest videos of all time and the beat is one of the illest of all time.

Anybody that comes in here and acts like they know is a liar.

They just talking shyt though...whole song is about how they living better than most.

It was part of that esoteric, open text style. Like Digable Planets “9th Wonder”. Purposefully mixed the vocals low to make people listen to the shyt closely to figure it out.

"Ishmael Buttler stated "I read where George Clinton said the stuff that's inaudible the first couple of listens adds longevity to a record, because it draws the person in. You might catch a word or a phrase on down the road, and that makes that record all the more intriguing". Ishmael also mentioned "The vocals were to be woven in with the fabric of the music, not necessarily something that was on top. The record label was like 'nobody can hear what you're saying', but I felt like if the music was engaging enough, then over time it would provide a richer listening experience"
Same with Shakespeare, tf was that guy talking about half the time


This is it what, Lucini pouring from the sky
This is it

Thing is, with Digable Planets their shyt you could decipher when they did start spitting abstract lyrics.
Camp Lo was damn near gibberish with their shyt.
It was almost always about rhyming as many words as they could that sounded fly together.

 

[madness]

using the context clues from the lyrics I just assumed they were braggin about flexin on nikkas

 

[ThirdAct]

They were talking about sweet velvet suede Donald Goines Cheeba Patti LaBelle sugar boogie float Afro Casanova Armaredduh Coffy ruger dreams jiggy, not hard to figure out

 

[pawdalaw]

Wasnt they the ones that Ghostface was dissing in the Iron Man album skit. saying he had on a Lamont Samford shirt?
dude was like:"but this is me though."

Ghost was like:"I know that's you, You big dummy!"

Camp Lo is one of my favorite Hip Hop groups of all time.

They were talking about street shyt just in a really really fly way.

They made raps about killing and drug dealing really really cool.

A lot of times I found myself being like, "Damn, that whole verse was about killing a motherfukker over a brick and shyt sounded like the coolest thing ever."

 

[Supreme365]

These nikkas made a language that only they understand

 

[I love Latina women]

These nikkas made a language that only they understand

Basically
Cause even if you knew a couple of topics mentioned in their lyrics here and there the words that followed the subject still left you puzzled lol

 

[Redwood]

Their slang was inspired from the 70s blaxploitation era.

 

[Dre Space Age]

What the fukk nikkas lost me at the chorus

 

[I love Latina women]

Their slang was inspired from the 70s blaxploitation era.

Yeah, but it's not the references from the 70's Blaxploitation era, it's the way in which they say shyt after they reference whatever subject/topic
Without really knowing what certain words mean that they themselves flipped around made it hard for the listener to follow what they were spitting.

 

[Dre Space Age]

I had to Google...okay I remember these nikkas.

I ain't know what the fukk they were talking about back then, fast forward, still don't. nikka need RapGenius to decipher that shyt.

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Zeroooooo idea what these nikkas were talmbout but they had that vibe vibe on lock
