Oxnard, CA emcee Roc C released his debut LP in 2006 on indie juggernaut Stones Throw Records, and has since worked with The Alchemist, Jake One, Guilty Simpson, Blu, and many more. Now, Pooh and Roc are joining forces for Trouble in the Neighborhood, a bicoastal collaborative album featuring two top-notch emcees going toe-to-toe over 11 hard-hitting tracks.
While some collaborations end up sounding forced, Pooh and Roc made a conscious effort to blend their styles seamless, creating a cohesive whole. "I tried to bring a little of my structure, and mix it with a little bit of Roc's non-structure," explains Pooh. "We call it controlled chaos." Sonically, Trouble In The Neighborhood is diverse but heavily West Coast-influenced, with the likes of S1, Evidence, and Focus behind the boards. And with appearances from MED, T3 of Slum Village, The Alchemist, Chaundon, Joe Scudda, Big Twinz, and more, lyric-loving fans won't be disappointed. "It's me and Roc coming together and causing ruckus on records," explains Big Pooh. "We're the trouble."
It's On
Rapper Big Pooh & Roc C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Chorus]
For me to flip my dough, ice out the dashboard
All you Range Roves, it's nothing
So put jams in the tens and pent
Leave a million dollar footprints, shit, it's nothing
For me to get any chick and trick off bricks and
For me to lose a G and bet back three
And let it stack, you know me
It's nothing
Flat shows, up all gold to watch
This for show, I connect all the dots
Seen a lot of men, seen what I've seen
Been where I been, do you even think about
Coming hotter than
You could find me at the T top, see T gray
Wit a girl no top, just blowing away, hey!
I make that, get you real pissed off
Seen a chick first time throw a trick off
That Mark McGwire, outta the park big-time
Don't matter what it cost, just get it, get it
Like gray flow, like gray dough
Wrist, ears, neck, light gray glow
Make dreams come true, C.R.E.A.M. come through
Flows that don't like bass sing My Boo
Make ladies jump outta they panties and bras
JD, babe ro', the Wizard of Oz
[Chorus]
Since we got every motherfucker wantin' to dance now
Get in the pants now, see me with them down, diggin' down
I live with it, do what the fuck I want to
Da Brat bitch get drastic all by my lonesome
Don't come on real to miss, know from feeling this shit
Out done 'cause we outnumbered your clique
Who's that pushing that six? See that name on the plates?
The chain? The wrist?
Hit the parties and the clubs in the Mercedes that bump my shit
Switch from trick to thug, a hundred percent pure bitch
Ice style, four clip, wish a nigga would slip, lights out
If a nigga ain't got four cents, I don't drop hints
Straight to the point, tell him I'm the hot kid about to rock this joint
Make they jump out they boxer draws
And I'm Da Brat, baby, and this is for all y'all
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, now who can serve this crew is nervous?
You broke by mistake, we rich on purpose
What the word is, you heard this sober, the are O, uh
You know what? Hold up, stop the beat
Are O see nigga, now drop the beat
Got to be, glittery, hoes opt to me
Jittery, drop and give me head complimentary
Up the flow, documentary of a ghetto prolific, oh so gifted
Want to floss?
R-O-C break your bank with the inner heart the females I come across
Close your mouth hon, I run
Come across the top lip of you whores like a Got Milk? Billboard
Young mack, want that, kick back, for the flicks
Stack chips, stack tricks, is you wit that?
[Chorus]
So did we make y'all rock?
For me to make y'all rock
For me to make y'all rock
Shit, it's nothing
For me to make y'all rock
For me to make y'all rock
For me to make y'all rock
It's nothing
Ah

Do you see that person driving the luxury car? Do you recognize the name on the license plate?
The chain? The wrist?
Look at the expensive chain and watch on my wrist
Hit the parties and the clubs in the Mercedes that bump my shit
I arrive at parties and clubs in a Mercedes playing my own music loudly
Switch from trick to thug, a hundred percent pure bitch
Changing from being generous with money to being tough and assertive, an authentic and genuine woman

I have an impressive and intimidating style, carrying a gun with ammo, and daring anyone to mess with me

You became poor unintentionally, but we deliberately became rich

Let me tell you what people are saying, hear this information clearly, we are the real deal

Wait a moment, pause the music
Are O see nigga, now drop the beat
I represent Roc C, now resume the music
Got to be, glittery, hoes opt to me
I have a flashy and glamorous image, attracting promiscuous women to me
Jittery, drop and give me head complimentary
Nervous and excited, perform oral sex willingly and without asking
Up the flow, documentary of a ghetto prolific, oh so gifted
Showing off my impressive and skillful rap flow, a documentary-like story of my life in the ghetto
Want to floss?
Do you want to show off and flaunt your wealth?
R-O-C break your bank with the inner heart the females I come across
Roc C can make you spend your money extravagantly, leaving an impact on every woman he encounters
Close your mouth hon, I run
Stop talking and be silent because I am in control and dominating
Come across the top lip of you whores like a Got Milk? Billboard
I defeat and surpass all the promiscuous women, just like the famous Got Milk? billboard advertisements
Young mack, want that, kick back, for the flicks
As a young hustler, I desire money and take a break from work to relax and enjoy entertainment
Stack chips, stack tricks, is you wit that?
Accumulate money and skills, are you capable of doing the same?
So did we make y'all rock?
Did we succeed in making all of you dance and have a good time?
It's nothing
It was effortless for us

Mr. Rare G
I always thought that Pooh was a dope MC, he just needed to standout more as a solo artist while he get overshadowed by Phonte (even tho Tigallo is a microphone beast), glad he did with all the catalog he got
