“Wait shouldn’t I have a lawyer”
The lyrics of N.O.R.E's “Skit” speak to the music industry, particularly the record label scene. The song begins with N.O.R.E welcoming someone to Titanic Records, a fictional label that he likens to the iconic sinking ship. The label is presented as powerful, as they are sinking all other competition in the industry.
N.O.R.E then instructs someone to sign a contract from Titanic Records. The person expresses concerns about not having a lawyer present, but N.O.R.E and his team seem unbothered by this and urge the person to sign anyway, telling them where to initial and sign. Their emphasis is on making the agreement official and it almost seems as if legality is not a concern.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the music industry, specifically how it can be predatory towards artists. The desperate need for recognition and success can make some artists vulnerable, especially to unscrupulous record labels. The song highlights how artists can be pressured to sign contracts without fully comprehending the implications, which could lead to exploitation. The lyrics also suggest that in the music industry, signing with a major record label can have a potentially devastating impact on an artist’s integrity and ownership of their work.
