After a genre-bending EP Rainforest on the esteemed Tri Angle label, his LP "Instrumentals" compiles some of Clams’ most crucial and sought after beats. Surprisingly, with the raps stripped away the tracks take on a life of their own, and hearing Clams’ intricate productions with the space to breathe feels like a real privilege. The half-heard vocals, twisted, rolling beats and acid-bathed samples are now pushed to the forefront, and you’d struggle to hear how a rapper, no matter how competent would manage to compete with such precise songwriting. Clams’ real skill is to combine the delirious club sound of post-2010 rap with something almost unheard in the genre. His sound is totally unique, and as he punctuates tracks with blissful ambience and inspired samples it’s hard not to believe this is a producer destined for true greatness.
Platin Casino sponsored the release of a second instrumental mixtape, simply titled Instrumental Mixtape 2, for free via his Twitter on June 4, 2012.
All Nite
Clams Casino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Phone jumpin' out the gym, finna gang slide
To the Norf side, every day, same shit
Tryna make wreck, and the world mine
Long Beach on the map cause the cold chain
Back like the city never left, it's a strong reign
Bangin' when the only niggas boomin' was the cold flamez
Funny I'm the only nigga with a known name
Good luck with that
Still gon' slide in the same ride 'round my town
Still got that MAC
That lil' bitch with the shit wanna get buss down
Might fuck with that
I'm anybody killer
Your baby mama, anybody's nigga
And we be sayin'
All gas, no brakes, might break your face
Get hit on sight, on sight
Ain't gotta prove this shit
We do this shit all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night, all night
Raise it up, 6-4 still tippin'
That angel dust that had K. Dot trippin'
In my pop's grape Swisher when he roll up
Wig a nigga when he roll up
Where you from? So what?
This a cold game and my domain post up
Get a close up, hit the pen, prolly roll up
That's a no no in the Norf Norf
You are not welcome
Black tee, got the .44, don't test him
Body EC when he prolly squeeze
You already know a nigga rockin' off of Poppy Street
I'll block a man like La Flame
Better bite the bullet 'fore the bullet fight your brain
Big burner in the whip, no license, swangin'
Ike Turner on a bitch, hoes love the gamin'
I'm anybody killer
Your baby mama, anybody's nigga
And we be sayin'
All gas, no brakes, might break your face
Get hit on sight, on sight
Ain't gotta prove this shit
We do this shit all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night, all night
Shoot fire, don't fight, that's mando
Shoot fire, don't fight, that's mando
Good night, now light them candles
Good night, now light them candles
My people ready to go
My people ready to go
I'm out my mind (I'm out my mind)
I'm out my mind (I'm out my mind)
Short fuse, no lose, big gamble
Short fuse, no lose, big gamble
It's flyin' out that barrel
It's flyin' out that barrel
My people ready for war
My people ready for war
Don't waste my time
Don't waste my time
Don't waste my time
All gas, no brakes, might break your face
Get hit on sight, on sight
Ain't gotta prove this shit
We do this shit all night, all night
All night, all night, all night, all night, all night
In Clams Casino's song All Nite, the lyrics depict a person who is living a fast-paced, dangerous lifestyle. The opening line, "Woke up in another man's main bitch," signifies the person's predatory attitude towards relationships, as they are willing to sleep with someone else's significant other without any regard for their feelings. In the following lines, the person is preparing to engage in gang activity while trying to make a name for themselves in the world. They boast about their status in Long Beach and being the only person with a known name. However, this confidence is tinged with paranoia as they reveal that they have heard people want to bring them down, but they remain defiant, still sliding around town with a weapon on hand.
The second verse continues the theme of aggression and violence, with references to drugs and guns. The person is unapologetic about their lifestyle, telling others not to mess with them as they are ready for war. The chorus adds to the intensity of the song, with the refrain of "all gas, no brakes, might break your face," repeated over and over again. The song portrays a sense of danger and chaos, with the person living a life that is fueled by adrenaline and the need for validation.
Line by Line Meaning
Woke up in another man's main bitch
I woke up next to someone's girlfriend who is not mine
Phone jumpin' out the gym, finna gang slide
I have received many messages and I'm getting ready to go out and commit some crimes with my gang
To the Norf side, every day, same shit
I go to the North side of the city every day to do the same things
Tryna make wreck, and the world mine
I am trying to cause destruction and take over the world
Long Beach on the map cause the cold chain
Our gang from Long Beach is known because of our jewelry
Back like the city never left, it's a strong reign
We are back in the city and our dominance has never been stronger
Bangin' when the only niggas boomin' was the cold flamez
We were causing trouble in the city before anyone else was doing it
Funny I'm the only nigga with a known name
I find it funny that I am the only person with a well-known reputation
Heard they really wanna gun me down
I heard that someone wants to murder me
Good luck with that
They will not succeed in killing me
Still gon' slide in the same ride 'round my town
I will continue to drive around the city in the same car
Still got that MAC
I still have a MAC-10 submachine gun
That lil' bitch with the shit wanna get buss down
That girl who talks tough wants to have sex with me
Might fuck with that
I might have sex with her
I'm anybody killer
I am willing to kill anyone for the right price
Your baby mama, anybody's nigga
It does not matter who your baby's father is, I will sleep with any woman
And we be sayin'
We always say
All gas, no brakes, might break your face
We will not slow down and we are not afraid to hurt people
Get hit on sight, on sight
We will attack you as soon as we see you
Ain't gotta prove this shit
We do not need to prove anything to anyone
We do this shit all night, all night
We will keep doing these activities all night long
Raise it up, 6-4 still tippin'
I am driving and showing off my 1964 Chevrolet Impala
That angel dust that had K. Dot trippin'
A type of drug made Kendrick Lamar hallucinate
In my pop's grape Swisher when he roll up
I am smoking my father's grape-flavored cigarillo
Wig a nigga when he roll up
We will rob someone when they arrive
Where you from? So what?
It does not matter where you are from
This a cold game and my domain post up
This is a harsh world, and I am in charge in my area
Get a close up, hit the pen, prolly roll up
We will get closer to the target and then shoot them, before probably smoking marijuana
That's a no no in the Norf Norf
You cannot do that in the North side of the city
You are not welcome
You are not wanted or accepted here
Black tee, got the .44, don't test him
I am wearing a black T-shirt and carrying a .44 Magnum handgun
Body EC when he prolly squeeze
I will kill someone when I pull the trigger
You already know a nigga rockin' off of Poppy Street
I am known in this area
I'll block a man like La Flame
I will attack anyone who threatens me
Better bite the bullet 'fore the bullet fight your brain
You will die if you do not surrender
Big burner in the whip, no license, swangin'
My car has a large gun inside, and I am driving recklessly without a license
Ike Turner on a bitch, hoes love the gamin'
I am being violent towards a woman and they like it anyway
Shoot fire, don't fight, that's mando
Our orders are to shoot, not fight
Good night, now light them candles
It's time to say good night and light some candles (possibly for a funeral)
My people ready to go
My gang is prepared for battle
I'm out my mind (I'm out my mind)
I am crazy
Short fuse, no lose, big gamble
I have a short temper and I am willing to take big risks
It's flyin' out that barrel
The bullets are coming out of the gun
My people ready for war
My gang is ready for a fight
Don't waste my time
Do not take up my time if you do not have a good reason
All gas, no brakes, might break your face
We are still going hard, and we will hurt you if we need to
Get hit on sight, on sight
We will attack you as soon as we see you
Ain't gotta prove this shit
We do not need to prove anything to anyone
We do this shit all night, all night
We will keep doing these activities all night long
