Being heavily influenced by old school hip hop, they conform to the original basics of rap music; turntablism and MCing. Their DJ, Young Einstein, forms the backbone of the group; he is renowned for performing very complex scratches both on the record and live, unlike in most modern rap where the DJ has been pushed to the back in order to emphasize the MC. He is also the owner of a famous 'Dookie Gold Chain' which is the subject of the groups song 'Eye On The Gold Chain' and is donned by Einstein during most live performances of the track. They are renowned for their live shows in which they perform various antics on stage and interact with the crowd getting them very hyped and affording them the reputation as brilliant live performers.
Their song Smack was featured on Tony Hawk's Project 8, In game and also as skater Paul Rodriguez Jr.'s Footage Soundtrack.
In 2012 group member Dizzy Dustin appeared on UK Hip Hop artist Ricta's debut album Snacks & Deception.

Pick Up Lines
Ugly Duckling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you'd like to pick up, than any other place?
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Can I buy you a drink? Your glass is empty
What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
Anyway, you come here often? Is this seat taken miss?
America? No? Well you should be a model I'm
New in town so could you show me around?
Can I call you sometime?
I'd like to get to knowin'
Your place or mine? I love your eyes, hey where you goin'?
Now, honey didn't do what everyone else does
She stood out without making a scene because she was
The hottest but the most modest in a long plaid skirt
And a shirt with a little picture of Ernie & Bert
Now, she played no sports except scholastic sorts
An academic epidemic during book reports
The starlet of a play, not a harlot to lay
So all the school ?? mad that she wouldn't give it away
See
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
When Joe the superhoe said, "Baby what's your sign?"
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Cut my bangs so they don't hang, then shampoo the doo
Get the hair out of my eye so I can look into
Of you master and capture the flag
In a '65 rag with brand new tags
She's for real, I feel chills, they're multiplyin'
It's so electrifyin it's so electrifyin'
No denyin' that I'm tryin' to undress her
With that phony rap, you wouldn't even get near it
She wouldn't go for sugar-coated lyrics
So other girls would say, "She must be gay"
And call her a Lenny Dykstra
But so what? They really wanted to just like her
Jealous, I won't offend her, I'll treat her tender
Defend her and send her letters and such
But there's no rush and there's no
Baby you're so fine I want to make you mine
'Cause honey simply ignored the pick-up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
When Joe the superhoe said, "Baby what's your sign?"
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
There's no "Baby you're fine I want to make you mine"
'Cause Honey was offended by the pick up line
Well excuse me
Well excuse me
Well excuse me
Well excuse me
Y'all step up to this
Now the main dude who wooed women tried to make his move
On her, so we all watched to see what she would do
He moved in: "Hey baby doll.. what's up with us?"
And honey was like, "Excuse me, but I'm gonna be late for my bus"
So I stepped up to her and said here's what I'm about
Long walks, deep thoughts, I I'd take you out, I won't
Play games or try to take the truth and bend it
I just want to talk, and she wasn't offended
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
When Joe the superhoe said, "Baby what's your sign?"
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
There's no "Baby you're fine I want to make you mine"
'cause Honey was offended by the pick up line
The pickup line, the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
Honey was offended by the pick up line
When the R&B singer said let's bump n grind
Honey was offended by the pick up line
The song “Pick Up Lines” by the Ugly Ducklings is about a young woman named Honey, who is regularly hit on by guys using cheesy pickup lines. Despite being offended by these lines, Joe the superhoe tries his luck by asking her, “Baby what's your sign?” But Honey is unimpressed and continues on with her day. While other girls in her school accuse her of being gay for not falling for the cheesy lines, she remains true to herself by not succumbing to the pressure of giving in to advances just to fit in. The song concludes with the singer admitting his interest in Honey, but instead of using a cheesy pickup line, he approaches her with honesty expressing his interest in getting to know her.
