Overall Meaning

The song "Ignite" by Chip, JME, and Dizzee Rascal is a self-confident and bold assertion of their dominance in the rap world. The repeated use of the word "fire" is a metaphor for their lyrical prowess and the impact their music has on their listeners. The chorus, which is repeated four times throughout the song, proclaims that everything else in the industry is not "fire," but when Chip drops, the music ignites. This message is reinforced by the verses from each rapper, who each describe their unique abilities and skill on the mic.


In the first verse, Chip makes it clear that he is a force to be reckoned with, suggesting that when he steps up to the mic, he ignites a spark that cannot be put out. He encourages listeners to grab their ganja and get in the zone, as nothing can stop their flow once they are on fire. JME's verse showcases his signature technical abilities, comparing himself to video game characters and using fire as a metaphor for his lyrical attacks. Finally, Dizzee Rascal uses his verse to reflect on his past mistakes and assert his dominance in the rap game, challenging other rappers who might doubt his abilities.


Overall, "Ignite" is a celebration of the unique talents and abilities of each rapper, and an assertion of their dominance in the industry.
