Webby's mother was a middle school teacher at Nathan Hale Middle School, his father was a guitarist and he was their only child. He started listening to rap at a young age admiring Eminem, he then started writing his own raps in 2000 at age 11. He attended Greens Farms Academy, a private school in Westport, Connecticut.
Webster has differentiated himself from similar acts in the new hip-hop/frat rap genre through his detailed attention to wordplay. He is recognizable by the high number of tattoos covering his body, most of which pertain to video games (Mortal Kombat, Mario, Boo the Ghost, etc.) or to aspects of 90's culture (Transformers).
He told AllHipHop in 2013, that he uses Adderall in the studio, which he is prescribed. He explained that he was diagnosed with ADD at a young age and has been on attention medication throughout his life. He says to this day that he has very bad attention deficit disorder.
Webster's devoted fans are know as "Ninjas."
Rookie Of The Year
Chris Webby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Long time
It's been a long time
Been a long time cominβ²
Baby I've been speaking my mind
Since Ocarina of Time
Dropped on Nintendo 64 but steadily on my grind
A couple Gβ²s at a time
β²Till I cop a villa sitting on a beach with a dime
Sour D and some wine
That's why my livinβ² is right
Until then, get up out of my way or you'll be dinner tonight
There were days I wanted to quit
And live a simpler life
But then the beat in my head bangs
And I pick up that mic
Yeah I represent for that nerd life
And I been a monster you hear right
When the moons out, Iβ²m a werewolf
So you better go get them search lights
Got a mean bark, and a firm bite
And a weed spark, and like errnight
I been on my mission so now I am taking the title like it is my birth right
I deserve my time with that fuckin' rock
To go juggernaut, flip it up a notch
I got no brakes, and Iβ²m runnin' stops
So get out my way or get fuckin' squashed
Iβ²m a grown man, with a cup of scotch
Puffinβ² pop, with southern rock
With a hippie chick, that fucks a lot
And loving's what I got
What I got
See I got the sauce motherfucker
I ainβ²t perfect but I, work with my flaws motherfucker
I'ma king up in a
World full of pawn motherfuckers
An artist to the end
Bob Ross motherfucker
Iβ²m just warmin' up
And they label me a veteran
Rookie of the year
When I started I was peddalinβ²
These CD's out my truck
Speakers louder than a elephant
It's been a long time
Long time
Okay
Iβ²m just warminβ² up
And they label me a veteran
Rookie of the year
When I started I was peddalin'
These CDβ²s out my truck
Speakers louder than a elephant
It's been a long time
Itβ²s been a long time
Comin'
Iβ²m a mix of Ferris Bueller, with a little Garry Cooper
As I'm researchin' conspiracy theories on my computer
Glasses on like Uncle Jr
Droppinβ² shit for my consumers
With a cougar who can tutor on Kama Sutra maneuvers
Fuck the Romans, Iβ²m a super human, music spewing veteran
Megazord assembling, Timberlands and a letterman
I'm colder than the set of The Revenant, when I get it in
Settlinβ², perfect specimen, let me in
2009 and I'm still that shit
Get on stage and I kill that shit
If your a little bit literate literally you can feel that shit
And thatβ²s brick by brick
No manual, no plan at all, I had to build that shit
(Had to build that shit)
But I'm an animal, I kept standing tall, and I did that shit
On top, like bald spots
Make jaws drop, no bad business
Got the formula, in my palm watch
You think Iβ²m cheatin' on math quizzes
And that crosswalk, all my dogs barkin' at mad bitches
β²Till my heart stops, got no soft spot for these rap critics
Iβ²m back in it
And I still got my entree coming
Young baller, out Connecticut like Andre Drumming
Feel that typhoon comin', when that white dude dunkinβ²
Guarantee you might lose somethin'
Iβ²m just warmin' up
And they label me a veteran
Rookie of the year
When I started I was peddalinβ²
These CD's out my truck
Speakers louder than a elephant
It's been a long time
Long time
Okay
Iβ²m just warminβ² up
And they label me a veteran
Rookie of the year
When I started I was peddalin'
These CDβ²s out my truck
Speakers louder than a elephant
It's been a long time
Itβ²s been a long time
Comin'
Iβ²m just warmin' up
And they label me a veteran
Rookie of the the year
When I started I was peddalin'
These CDβ²s out my truck
Speakers louder than a elephant
Yeah

You need to rap about the deeper darker sit, like the occult and how everything is fucked. Idk how you don't feel it man bad energy is taking over this world. That's what I would be speaking about.
