In Stereo
Fort Minor (Productos KeNJi MaX) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jay-Z:
That beat is hot

Mike:
This is how it goes
Welcome one and all to the show
We're wired up, fired up, fuckin ready to go
In the back of the parking lot outside of the bar
Twenty deep, twenty feet from the boulevard
Black hoodies, black caps, black label in glasses
Previewing the new shit before all the masses
Cause the first thing I need when I got a new beat
Is to see how it sounds echoing off the street
I just take it for a spin, pop the CD in
Slide it up to ten and get that rear view shaking
Then play it again so there's no mistaking
San Andreas, the block get this bitch earthquaking like

[Chorus]
Oh-oh
Ready for it? Here we go
We got the whole block rockin' in stereo
We're taking control, letting everybody know
And if you feel it let me hear everybody go
Oh-Oh

You're not ready, I got plenty cups
But twenty months drop steadily
Plenty tracks to empty on you wack pedigree
I'm backed heavily while you're back peddling
Forget the chit chat, on me homie kick back
I'm on that shit that can get your homie bitch-slapped
So zip your lip back, listen and watch
We got the whole block rockin off the way the beat knocks
You don't have to warn the people on the corner - they know
That if you're standing on that corner then you're getting that show
World premiering you're hearing that Machine Shop flow
San Andreas the block, get this bitch earth quaking like

[Chorus]

Turn the key, turn the volume up to loud
Roll right, roll every window down
Let the whole block know what this is about
Turn it up, y'all, burn that system out
Turn the key, turn the volume up to loud
Roll right, roll every window down
Let the whole block know what this is about
Turn it up, y'all, burn out that system like

[Chorus]





Let's go ahead and test out the speakers
You ready? Let's go, like this

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fort Minor’s “In Stereo” convey the energy and excitement of a new beat being played on the streets. The song starts with Jay-Z commenting on the hotness of the beat followed by Mike introducing the show and inviting everyone to join in. The artist then describes the scene – a group of people outside a bar, listening to a new beat echoing through the street. He emphasizes the need to test the beat by playing it loudly and feeling the vibrations on the streets, the ultimate test of how well it resonates. The chorus is an invitation to everyone to join in and experience the music together.


The lyrics also take a jab at the critics – the wack pedigree, the back peddlers, and the chit chat. The primary focus is on the music, and the artist encourages everyone to enjoy and appreciate the machine shop flow. The second verse is an invitation to everyone to listen and watch as the whole block rocks to the beat. There is no need to warn anyone as everyone knows that they will get a show regardless of where they stand. The artist encourages the audience to turn the volume up, roll every window down and let everyone know what the beat is all about.

Met Mike at a Linkin Park meet and greet, and I gotta say, he is one down to earth, no bullshit guy. He was so thoughtful and kind to everyone at the M&G, and he tried to make everyone feel like they're just talking to another guy they meet on the street. Amazing.

@leroyjenkinsreturns

First in 10 years

@Piglet-hp6tu

I met them at project revolution about 15 years ago and they were all very down to earth kind people

@coolataluverr

Mike Shinoda is different from the other rappers. Mike raps about whats real, the truth. No fake, bullshit. And he manages to have the sickest beats at the same time. Mike, please do another side project with Fort Minor! I'd buy that cd.. Who's with me?(:

@user-qu8in3yc6x

2022 столько лет прошло а альбом остаеться шедевром. Сейчас такое не делают

@shaun8pickles

I'm a HUGE Eminem fan but, I still can never get enough of Fort Minor or Shinoda. Great rap.
