I don't wanna hear nobody sleepy ass beats
I refuse to listen to boring, uninspiring music.

This is for my peeps rockin' hoodies, twenty deep
This song is dedicated to and resonates with my close-knit group of friends who wear hoodies and always stick together.

Boom it in your lex coupes, beamers, and your jeeps

Strictly for the streets
This song is specifically made for the urban environment and the people who reside in it.

Boom bap, no bleeps

That's so weak
That is incredibly lacking in strength or quality.

Background music

Elevator vibes
The musical atmosphere of this track resembles the mellow tunes commonly heard in elevators.

Track sounds stupid
The composition of this song sounds nonsensical or unimpressive.

Yeah, I'm hatin' on the creation that makes you happy
I am expressing my dissatisfaction toward the musical creation that brings you joy.

Fuck how you feel
I don't care about your emotions or opinions.

You could never out rap me
You are unable to surpass or exceed my rap skills.

Not on that beat
You are incapable of outperforming me on this particular instrumental.

Sounds like a lullaby
The sound and melody of this song resemble a soothing lullaby, lacking energy or excitement.

Drums are dumb soft like wings on a butterfly
The drum beats in this track are weak and delicate, similar to the fragile wings of a butterfly.

Battle who? Please, you lookin' for another guy
Don't even try to challenge me in a rap battle, you should search for someone else to compete against.

Underground rapper? Yeah, I know you are but what am I?
You identify yourself as an underground rapper, but I question your true identity or significance in the hip-hop scene.

Swift
Referring to oneself as Swift, suggesting speed and agility in lyrical delivery.

The man, the myth, and the legend
I am a figure of great renown and legendary status in the rap world.

Split the opposition to splinters in sixty seconds
In just one minute, I effortlessly dismantle and defeat my opponents.

The era that I'm reppin known for rappin' with aggression

Your song belongs in an anime
Your music would be more suitable for the soundtrack of an animated Japanese TV series.

Type of shit I play to clean the house on Saturday

Get up off the stage, take the herb skit thataway
Leave the stage and go back to your trivial, unimpressive performance.

Producers who don't make beats for rappers, all I have to say is
To producers who don't create beats specifically for rappers, I have a simple message:

Eat shit
Engage in a disrespectful act and consume feces.

Choke on it and die
Experience suffocation and death as a consequence of your actions.

Your instrumentals were tight but the performance was dry
While your musical compositions were skillfully executed, the overall performance lacked liveliness and excitement.

You pressed play, turned some knobs
You simply played a pre-recorded track and made minor adjustments using mixing equipment.

Suckers thought it was fly
Less knowledgeable individuals mistakenly believed it to be impressive or cool.

But I don't really recognize it like the Fourth of July
I don't acknowledge it or find it significant, just as the Fourth of July holds little personal importance to me.

Nah
No, I disagree.

I'm not impressed, son
I am unimpressed, young person.

I'm over the nonsense
I no longer have patience for or interest in meaningless or foolish behavior.

The music that you makin' lacks emotional content

Listen, you're never gonna be the new J Dilla

Let that man rest
Allow J Dilla to rest in peace, without attempting to imitate or surpass his legacy.

Copycat styles are pitiful
Imitating other artists' styles is sorry and pathetic.

Just keep it real, get your own and be original
Be honest and authentic, develop your own unique style instead of copying others.

And while you're at it, make a beat with a spine
Furthermore, when creating music, ensure that the beat possesses strength and impact.

I wanna feel some knock to it while I'm speaking my mind
I desire a strong, resonating beat that accompanies the expression of my thoughts and opinions.

I'm the lovechild of Chuck D and Nikki Giovanni
I consider myself as the artistic offspring of both Chuck D, a renowned rapper, and Nikki Giovanni, a prominent poet.

You a fuck boy
