The Party
ICP (Feat. DJ Clay) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which one of these hoes am I fuckin' tonight?
This ain't my block and ain't my click
But I'm up in here and ain't scared of shit?
Then I heard a cut (Who the new dude?)
The DJ tryna play me rude
I said "What they call you?" (I'm DJ Clay
The baddest DJ alive today peep)
Chorus
I had to back up and scoop my wig off the floor
It practically blew out the door
I brushed myself off and walked back up to 'em
"That's pretty good shit ya doing but (What?)
I'm thinkin' I'm a little bit better (Oh yeah?)
Some folks call me the Neck Shredder
'Cause I cuts a lot too, so why don't you scoot down
(What's your name?) Shaggy The Clown"
Chorus
DJ Clay woke up and asked what happened
"You just witnessed this here scratchin"
Everybody gathered around the turntables
Hatchetman hangin' off our cables, he said
(You and me one more time, right now)
I said, "Sure thing but I'll tell you how
You drop the rhythm and I'll drop the beat
We'll let them feel the underground moving
Under the street come on!"
The song "The Party" by ICP (Feat. DJ Clay) tells a story about a guy who walks into a party without an invite, looking for some fun. He's not afraid of anything, even though he's not familiar with the area. When he hears the DJ trying to play him rude, he steps up and introduces himself as the Neck Shredder, a nickname he got because he cuts a lot. The DJ backs off and lets him take over, and the two of them perform together, impressing everyone at the party. It's a song about confidence and skill, and the power of music to bring people together.
The lyrics of the song reveal a lot about the culture of hip-hop and the importance of respect and recognition. The party is a place where people come to hear music, dance, and have a good time, but it's also a place where reputations are made and challenged. The DJ is an important figure in this culture, responsible for creating the beats and rhythms that make people move. The Neck Shredder is an equally important figure, someone who can cut and scratch and manipulate the music in ways that are unexpected and exciting. Together, they create something special, something that transcends the usual boundaries of a party and connects people in a deeper way.
Overall, "The Party" is a song that celebrates the power of music and the importance of skill and confidence in the hip-hop community. It's a song that reminds us that sometimes the best parties are the ones we stumble into, where we don't know anyone and have no expectations. Sometimes those are the parties where we can truly let go and be ourselves.

"Let's have one more performance together." Then, I proposed that we collaborate, with Hatchetman creating the tempo, and I deliver my beats. We can make the audience sense the subculture's vibes underneath the street. Let's do this!
