Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

CNN (CNN!) CNN
The reunion man we back again man are y'all ready man?
Hahahahahaha, yo, yo

My niggaz get locked up, and when they come home
it's mink coats and Cristal, just ask Capone
We play the game like mobsters, Oliver Stone flicks
Based on a true story, it's Nore'
And all of my niggaz buck for me, the projects love me
It feel good to have love in the hood
And I ain't got to buy weed, cause my credit is good
Machine gun lyrics, CN lift spirits
Smoke more weed than dreads, hip-hop heads
gotta, listen to this before they piss in they beds
My mission instead, leave these niggaz missin' and dead
and leave em dumped in a river, buttnaked and red
N.O., erase niggaz no problemo
Keep a razor in my mouth - spit it out
And I never had to move nothin', I shit it out
And I still got it but I had to Thug It Out

Chorus: x2]
Yo, it's like my mission just to live this way
I had to sell things, but I wanted to live each day
The real people do real things
So why is real people still doin fake things? Huhhh?

Peace God
Whattup nigga?
I'm glad you home
So we could, take over the world, it's ours to own
Stars that bone from the ghetto, to cars and homes
Laced out, Jesus piece, ice the face out
My Niggaz On The Run they place out
Flee fiends with the cake mouth
Automatic guns, bullets spray out
Lay out, what? Gimme the cash and the coke
Sometimes I got money, and I still feel broke
And sometimes I got reefer and I don't even smoke
I don't sleep, ninety-five percent of the time I'm woke
The other 5 is when a nigga high, hear the thugs cry
And me, I'm Thugged Out, I just sleep on the floor
with the rats and the roaches, keepin' it raw
My heat is the fourth, while y'all niggaz lean on the law
Peter pay Paul, an outlaw, he stuck up the mall
I watch for the cops, still a Thug after the deal
CNN gotta thug it for real

[Chorus]

Thuggology's the major, paper
Capone-N-Noreaga teach ya, villainize your whole nature
The law was built around capers since the years of the West
and are you real or fake? How many thugs hear the question
Twenty grand on the lawyer, extra hundred for bail
Next to death's kiko, is goin to jail
Unassisted, I shivered and frail
My ice similar to hail yo, for the 85 that's in braille
I keep Chanel on my hoes, crazy blowin the scale
Mad chickens for my thugs locked, low on the mail
Yo it's 'Pone or it's Fonz, either pretty or thug
Whichever way it's called, in every city a slug
If I was dyin' would a true fan give me they blood
and would my man take the stand, lie in front of the judge?
My thesis, be one of a thug, prestigious
I rock fatigued up, down in Cali khakis with the creases





[Chorus: x2]

For those of you to young to be around you missed a great time.
I had all the UNCLE toys.
And lunch box.
And novels and digest books.
And comic books.
UNCLE was that big and popular.
Illya was my first crush.
David's passing is hitting hard.
Thanks for the memories.



Vera Smith

I was 10.

We were ready for this show.

After President Kennedy's death the country was sad.

Only natural for this show and the Beatles to take off.

And a lot of little boomer girls to have crushes on Illya.

It was a time.

David McCallum, Ilya Kuriyanin, he "suffered" something that occurred in several TV series in the late 60's, occasionally referred to as "The Spock Effect".
It was a fan reaction that was generally unexpected by writers and producers.
A given series would have a hero and a "Lancer".
The Lancer was the hero's devoted friend and ally, but what ended up happening was the Lancer character was made far better than the hero archetype.
The hero was... well the Hero, and he ticked all the hero boxes but the lancer could be as off-beat, quirky, flawed, deep and interesting as the writers wanted because they generally had fewer boxes to tick.
These characters, Kuryakin,, Mr. Spock, Alexander Scott in "I Spy", Doctor Smith in "Lost in Space", Emma Peel in "The Avengers", Agent 99 in "Get Smart", Kato in "The Green Hornet" became so popular with fans they had their own highly dedicated followings, affiliated merchandise etc. Their faces often appeared more frequently on the covers of various entertainment and fan media than the actual "Stars" of the shows. The fan demand at best elevated them a role equal to the Hero, but in the case of Doctor Smith, He, partnered with Will Robinson and The Robot ended up taking over the series from the intended leads [essentially destroying the career of series lead Guy Williams in the process].
In Hong Long, "The Green Hornet" was re-titled "The Kato show".
It was the freedom the writers has with characters that were saddled with fewer tropes that allowed them to create some exceptionally interesting characters.

So glad to hear so many wonderful stories of David Macallum. He was one of my first movie star crushes. My condolences to his family. ❤🙏🌹🌟

Jim Saldana

To his credit, Robert Vaughn never resented David McCallum’s popularity and was a team player and both of them remained friends for years. Robert Vaughn also was correct when he said the series featured the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

J Sharp

amen to the best looking women..

On the YT channel 'FoundationInterviews' there are many interviews with David McCallum. In one, David stated they worked well together, but that they had completely different personalities, had nothing in common, and only went to dinner together once. Robert was vegetarian, into politic's, and academia, while David was not. They were not friends off set, just co-workers during the time the show was on air. David was friend's with Charles Bronson, who ran off with David's first wife, Jill Ireland. Jill leaving him was good for David, in the long run, as he was married to his second wife for 56 years, until his death. RIP David

Langley M Neely

RIP DAVID MCCALLUM… 💔🥺 The man was a legend. 🫡

Virginia Connor

I'm glad I met David McCallum 2x. He was so warm, friendly, and I could tell he cared about me as a fan. I thanked him for making me so happy as I was growing up and appreciated his work. I also told him that my parents liked him too and the story how my dad got me to watching "MFU". I think my parents and he were alike in some ways and I miss them as I'll miss David too.

Buster Crabbe

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Wild, Wild, West and Secret Agent Man and I Spy were all my favorites as a kid in the 1960s.

Carol Lido

David died today and I am putting tributes up on LinkedIn and we are celebrating his life and his extraordinary acting. Thank you for this. I am amazed at how great big grown men are crying because they were so in love with him in the Man from U. N C.L E.

One of the toughest guys I know dropped me a personal note and said I just love this man and had a terrible crush on him

Thank you this is a wonderful and informative and fun video

i’m just finishing college, so unlike most people in the comments i didn’t watch this as a kid but just last week! this video was fantastic, it was a great summary and review of the show and sleek in its humor and editing. You so succinctly describe why i’m digging into nearly 70 year old archives in a time when most people my age are watching Euphoria or Tiktok. It’s just a silly fun old show and i had a great time watching it.
