Triple Entendre! 1st) the Biblical story found in Exodus was that YHWH was weeding out the faithless from the children of Israel as they wandered in the wilderness. He released the snakes (cobras maybe) and Moses stuck out his staff and one of the snakes bit into it. Whosoever that was bitten by the snakes, then looked upon the snake that sunk its teeth into Moses' staff would live. Those that didnt died.

Not to correct but elaborate. Wu-Tang Clan especially Rae Ghost and RZA have always tried to call the mainstreams attention away from Bad Boy Mase Puff. That’s what The Biters skit, ODB crashing the Grammys, the skit on Wu Tang Forever was all about.

Big did some joints that kept the east on the radio but New York hip hop was far from dead.
Tennis rackets sort of resemble microphones. McEnroe was considered one of the greatest of his time. As is Ghost.
