Overall Meaning

The song "Ole School Shit" by Eazy-E, Gangsta Dresta, Sylk, and B.G. Knocc Out, is a classic example of hardcore gangsta rap from the early 90s. The lyrics contain a lot of street slang and profanity, which reflects the rough neighborhoods of Compton and other parts of the West Coast. Gangsta Dresta raps about the dangers of messing with him and his gang, warning his enemies to stay out of his way. He boasts about his tattoo of Dr. Dre's name on his chest, which he later crossed out because of Dre's disloyalty. He threatens to kill any punk who crosses him and take their woman as his own. Sylk follows with a verse that showcases her fearless attitude, proclaiming that she's a gangsta bitch who can hold her own against anyone. She warns wannabe gangstas to step up and test their luck if they dare. B.G. Knocc Out concludes the song with a verse that disses Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre. He claims that he's the real original baby gangsta from Compton and that he's not afraid to take on any challenger. He also calls for other gangstas to join him and the Ruthless Family in the fight for their turf.


The lyrics of "Ole School Shit" are not just about violence and bravado, though. They also address the theme of jealousy and betrayal, which was a common theme in gangsta rap. Eazy-E, who was the founder and CEO of Ruthless Records, raps about how jealousy can be a dangerous emotion, especially when you're on top of the game. He reveals that he and Dr. Dre used to be partners and friends, but their relationship soured when Dre wanted a bigger share of the profits. Eazy-E hints that he's the one who made Dre famous and that he deserves more credit for his success. He challenges other rappers to try to be like him and see how it feels to live his life.


Overall, "Ole School Shit" is a gritty and uncompromising rap anthem that celebrates the gangsta lifestyle and warns the haters to back off. It features some of the most iconic rappers of the era and showcases their raw talent and charisma.
