He was given the name Papoose by his grandmother because of his childhood resemblance to an American Indian child. Inspired by rap legends Rakim, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane, he has been well respected on the underground hip-hop circuit for a long period of time now.
In early 2006, his StreetSweepers crew linked up with Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Inkprint to co-executive produce Papoose's first official album. On August 24, 2006, his official website officially announced that he signed with Jive Records, a deal which, according to his management's official website was worth $1.5 million.
Papoose has recently become known for engaging in charity work, visiting sick children and donated to causes including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and to various Hurricane Katrina charities.
On September 19, 2007 DJ Kay Slay announced that Papoose and himself have parted ways from Jive records. "We have officially gotten our release from Jive fuckin records. It was like a fuckin year of hell... Unfortunately, we almost became victims of A&R hell." On the radio show slay was asked what was next for Papoose, and he said "You know we can't talk about that man." The future of the Papoose's debut album, The Nacirema Dream, is unknown at this time; however, Papoose and Kay Slay are rumored to own the records that were created under Jive.
Papoose is no longer affiliated with Flipmode Squad.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Longer than Pap, longer, longer than Pap
Papoose, aim, shoot
Papoose, aim, shoot
Papoose, aim, shoot
Papoose, aim, shoot
Straight out the big apple it's Papoose and the Mobb
At the dice game, keep a mag on me
Why would I let another man ask bet me
I'm the best like Khaled, I bang if I should
A nigga gotta pay me if he throwin ace in my hood
So the drug dealers wet work, beat all the pushers
When you was still in yo moms crib, eatin your boogers
I live the fast life, that's why I stay in a hurry
Papoose be killing the mic like Doctor Murray
King of New York, cop the caliber
My raps off the wall like a 2011 calendar
Why everybody out of character?
They all mad at me, I got em pissed like a catheter
Champion, I'm not ya challenger
Stop amateurs like the sandman, Banks how we handle em?
Yayo got the whopper, it spit longer than Papoose
Longer than Pap, longer, longer than Pap

Nigga you a target misser
The wrath of God will hit ya, with a horror picture
Call this rap takeout, you know Mobb deliver
Too hard for the hardest nigga, they fold like cardbord
Handle that now, nigga ain't no encores
? a little heavy, so it leave the arm sore
Y'all want war, gave you what you starve for
All my shooters buy products of the worst recession
Aim for the dome and laugh when they purchase vests'
Cause that shit right there, is irrelevant
Niggas walk around here, with shit to kill a elephant
So your next move better be your best move
Like a chess move or get yo chest moved
Cause when we come through you better have ya guns too
Cause all we do is *aim shoot* all we do is *aim shoot*

Thunder and lightning bolts, knock the lights off
When I black out make you miss me like
Nigga, where you been at? Word
Bout tired of the soft shit, it gets boring
They look like punks and act like a woman
You need danger, a little agression
You need excitement I put a little pressure
Just to, balance things out, we're not the same
Some niggas is live, some niggas is lame
Some is real or some is fake
You draw the line in the sand, which side you claim?

The lyrics to Papoose's song Aim Shoot are about his reputation as a skilled and experienced rapper, as well as his readiness to defend himself and his neighborhood. The line "Yayo got the whopper, it spit longer than Papoose" refers to his associate Yayo's firearm (possibly an AK-47, also known as the "Whopper") being longer and more powerful than Papoose's. The repetition of "Papoose, aim, shoot" reinforces the idea that he is not only a talented lyricist but also a formidable opponent.
The song also touches on Papoose's origins in New York City, particularly his affiliation with the Mobb Deep rap group. He describes himself as the city's "king" and boasts about his ability to handle disputes, whether in a dice game or a rap battle. He also hints at drug dealing and violence in his neighborhood, bragging that his "shooters" are well-equipped to handle any situation.
