All beats for the Rydas music are stolen, or used without permission, from mainstream artists such as Nelly, The Godfather and Cypress Hill. If a lawsuit were ever to be filed against them, they would just close down the label and walk. To date, The Rydas remain free from legal action.
As the Rydas, the artists take on the aliases of Bullet (Violent J), Full Clip (Shaggy 2 Dope), Foe Foe (Monoxide), Lil' Shank (Jamie Madrox), Cell Block (Blaze Ya Dead Homie), and Yung Dirt (Boondox).
Compared to their alter egos on Psychopathic Records, the Rydas are unique in that their music is not horrorcore, but gangsta rap.
In 2000, Myzery left Psychopathic Records, hence removing Twin Gatz from the Rydas lineup. Many believed the group would be weakened because of this, but the group remained stronger than ever. In 2001, their second album was released at the 2nd Gathering and was entitled Ryden Dirtay. It featured the remaining five Rydas and is widely considered to be better than the first album.
Also in 2002, Pendulum #7 from the Pendulum comic books was released, featuring 3 Rydas solo songs: What Rydas Do Fo Money?, by Full Clip, and Who Wanna Flex? & I Don't Wanna Die, by Bullet.
Their third album, Check Your Shit in Bitch!, was released in 2004. This album featured "Sawed Off" and "Converse", bringing the Rydas lineup to its highest at 7 members, and featured 13 brand new tracks. Plus, an untitled EP was sold alongside the album at the 2004 Gathering, featuring a song off the album called Scrimps, as well as three exclusive songs. Also, at that year's Gathering the Rydas performed at the Mystery Seminar, minus Converse.
On October 21, 2005, Esham officially left Psychopathic Records, as did Anybody Killa on February 3, 2006, therefore removing Sawed Off and Converse from the lineup.
There are currently 6 members in the group working on a new album in their portable studio while on The Tempest Tour. In a recent interview from Violent J from faygoluvers.net, the title of the new album will be Duk Da Fuk Down, and it is expected to be released sometime in 2007. The new lineup will be Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and at the time newly added Boondox.
In the special Gathering 07' addition of Weekly Freekly Weekly on the scrolling text box says one of the new rydas name is Yung Dirt, pointing to Boondox because of the southern roots and talking bout "the red dirt looks like blood" from lyrics on his songs.
In July 2007, the new Psychopathic Rydas video for the song Duk Da Fuk Down was released, introducing the new member Yung Dirt (Boondox). The video shows gangsta rap imagery, continuing the classic and known Psychopathic Rydas themes.
Guilty
Psychopathic Rydas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who the fuck is you to say I'm guilty
So my hands are filthy, back the fuck up off me
I'm a criminal my tech-nine goes hum
Accusing me is like calling a retard dumb
From the fee to the fum, My trigger finger's numb
You can sit back and watch as my nickel plate dumps
I explode body parts with one finger squeezin'
(Converse)
I'm the filthiest so consider me the guiltiest
The number one murder suspect on the list
Full conspiracy, and cold blooded murder allegedly
I bang with the rydas but twice as deadly separately
Plus I'm into all type of automatic weaponry
Don't play with me unless you playin' double jeopardy
For those who slept on me murder has to be committed
Leave all kinds of evidence so they know I did it
(Sawed Off)
Go ahead and throw the book at me, I'm guilty
But first you got to catch me giving up doesn't come easy
Yes, I did it I admit it what you gunna do hoe?
I'll smack the fuckin' judge and shove a gavel through his temple
Incarcerate me, you crazy? What you smokin'?
Fuck your video and tell surveillance, stop provoking'
Guilty as charged but I ain't going back behind bars
10 o'clock news, masked man armed at large
(Chorus 2x)
I'm guilty of so many things who are you to judge
Mind ya'll might wind up riddled with slugs
I'm a ryda to the very last,
you don't want us all up in your game
So mind ya'll we gunna dump up in that ass, ride off
(Cell Block)
I shot my pop's, he was a guilty drunk
He slapped my moms' up with the barrel of his gun
But then again maybe it was all around town
She was a hooker and he had to lay his pimp hand down
Shit, I don't know I was only 6 years old
Watching him every night at the table sniffin' blow
It was fucked up, I grew up way too fast
With a hooker and a dope dealin' pimp as my parents
(Foe Foe)
The whole court can get a piece of this dick
And fuck the judge and his bailiff and I'ma get the plaintiff
Never fuck with a killer who's not afraid to
Use a shotgun, glock or blade,
Finish it off with a grenade and blow your block off
Keep the top, before I put one in the side of your head
Leavin' the passenger dead
Willing to bet that in the next couple of days
They say they found a body and just throw my case away
(Repeat 2x)
I didn't do shit, I never did nothin'
Fuck that lyin' ass bitch, she frontin'
Don't judge me I didn't do shit wrong
We just kept ridin' bumpin' along
(Lil' Shank)
I'm guilty of not giving a fuck,
Guilty of grippin' a black truck
With tinted windows and the bump bump
Guilty of strappin' a loaded piece on my hip
Guilty of situations where I hustled and played a pimp
Not a simp or a mark either I hold it down like a restraint
Think I'm frontin, but I ain't
Guilty of eatin' big shrimps, and barbeque ribs
While others sellin' crack just to feed they kids, come on
(Bullet)
Bitch, I'm guilty and because of it I'm glad to be rich
I'm happy, gutter fabulous, I fuck a raggedy bitch
I ride dirtay, pull me over, Bullet is busted
He mighta not checked the trunk I take no chances, I ain't trust him
I'm a gangsta, pigs call me Bullet the monster
I'm demonstrating murder skills if anyone wants ta
Rydas are ready and guilty of all sorts
Even blowin' richies out golf carts, keep it gangsta
(Chorus 2x)
I'm guilty of so many things who are you to judge
Mind ya'll might wind up riddled with slugs
I'm a ryda to the very last,
you don't want us all up in your game
So mind ya'll we gunna dump up in that ass, ride off
The song Guilty by Psychopathic Rydas is a rap song that talks about their criminal lifestyle and the things they have done. The lyrics are a form of protest by the artists who feel that they are wrongly accused, asking what gives their accusers the right to say they are guilty. The song starts with a defiant statement claiming that the artist is a criminal, an assertion that is reinforced by the use of guns as a common motif throughout the song. The second verse is about the artist’s belief of being the guiltiest one, being a murder suspect, and how he is into automatic weaponry, which can be seen as a form of self-defense. In the third verse, the lyrics talk about how the artist will not admit to his guilt even when thrown into jail.
The lyrics of the song Guilty by Psychopathic Rydas expresses a rebellious nature against authorities such as judges and police. The song conveys the message that the artists don't care about being judged for their criminal lifestyle, claiming that they are guilty of multiple crimes.
