Del The Funky Homosapien is Teren Delvon Jones (born August 12, 1972 in Oakland, California)
Cousin of seminal west coast rapper Ice Cube, Del began his career writing lyrics for Ice Cube's band, Da Lench Mob. In 1991, with the help of Ice Cube, Del released his first solo album, "I Wish My Brother George Was Here", at the age of 18. The album was a commercial success largely due to the popularity of the hit single, "Mistadobalina." Ultimately Del, who was not pleased with the limited musical range of the album, severed his production-artist relationship with Ice Cube for his next album, "No Need for Alarm".
No Need for Alarm also saw the introduction of the Oakland clique Hieroglyphics, whose original members included Souls of Mischief (Opio, A-Plus, Phesto and Tajai) Casual, Pep Love, Del, and producer Domino. No Need for Alarm helped to expose both the regional Oakland sound of hip hop, as well as the freestyle based, "golden era-97" style of hip hop being expanded at the time

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Del:
Who is the two like the Blues Brothers?
Unicron:
Yeah who does it?
Del:
Me & you kid
we bruise dozens
havin' fun with the wiz
that's me and
Unicron:
Unicron the inhuman on the mic
Yikes! (Zoinks!)
Del:
Lazer zaps saps who can't rap
they sound like beginners
I slam then I pin ya
send ya to the hospital
I gots the flow
no nigga dare step
you'll get your hair swept
off the floor when I clip ya
button ya lip ya
even if the record skips
I still rip (Damn that nigga still rips!)
total rivers
equip ya punk posse
ya got lots to see
days to come
before you raise from dumb to smarter
rippin' apart a poser
bend 'em
inside out, like Yoga
I'm a nice person on the inside
but men hide
when you and your friend die
but a hand to the strangler
the pity hotter chopper
and we oughtta pop ya
and crop ya
cause we're sick of that shit (Sick of it!)
I'm about to have a fit
& split ya head
& kick ya bitch, in the tits
they're tender
mixin' niggas brains like a blender
I kick rhymes like these to inja
and end ya
off ya
never comin' softer
this is not the best I can offer
I'ma save some for later
you ain't greater
than the man
with a plan
and the brand that his name
and I hate ya.
[BRIDGE]
Unicron:
I'm the youngsta
with the swift tongue,
and the kid that lives up the street
over Jon's beat
I make rappers eat turds and hay
it doesn't matter what version you play
I will still slay
a crowd a rhymers
and Del how'd I find ya?
Del:
That one summer years ago I shoulda signed ya.
Unicron:
Just a quick reminder
for those who find a
problem with me
I'll put you on noid like a T & T timer
and there's only 20 seconds
now I'm 16
and yes fiend to wreck shit
I throw temper tantrums
that's my anthem
I'm not very big
but you phuck with me, you'll be like Jerry's kids
phucked up, & that's tough luck
Unicron has never backed down from a tough phuck
that's what lubricated Trojans are for
cause I know, when the corn hits the tip
I got the dip
flip & they suckin' on my nipples
and I will have a fut, too
cause I get excited when I ride it
fun while it lasted
Cas, did you like
when I did a song, back in the day with the Del-a-ray? (That's me!)
Get a patna
I'm glad you got the chance
to enhance the Jive roster
I'm a foster kid
but Del hooked me
now I look free when I'm out,
Del: And I'm out...
[BRIDGE]
In the song "Worldwide" by Del The Funky Homosapien featuring Unicron, the two rappers take turns showcasing their lyrical skills as they boast about their talents and their ability to take down any other artists who dare to challenge them. The opening lines are a reference to the Blues Brothers, a musical comedy duo from the '80s who were known for their antics and their musical talent. Del and Unicron are essentially comparing themselves to this iconic duo, suggesting that they too are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Throughout the song, they use a variety of metaphors and similes to describe their skills, referencing everything from laser beams to blenders to martial arts. They take pride in their ability to "slam" other rappers and "send them to the hospital," suggesting that they are not afraid of a little competition. Unicron boasts about his "swift tongue" and his ability to make other rappers "eat turds and hay," while Del suggests that he has the "flow" and the "brand" to make him the top dog in the rap game.
Despite their tough words, there is a sense of camaraderie between Del and Unicron, as they trade lines and compliment each other's rhymes. They also take a few playful jabs at each other, such as when Del suggests that Unicron is "not very big," and Unicron responds by saying that Del should have signed him years earlier. Overall, this song is a showcase for two talented rappers who are not afraid to talk about their skills and their place in the music world.
