Can't believe how many fucking times I told you Das Racist (Ft. Lana Del Rey) – National Anthem (Remix)

Vic’s been known to tell you that he’s Kool A.D. and he makes fun of himself and the listener at the same time. He is rap satire.

Young brown V-Nasty let a nigga live Das Racist (Ft. Lana Del Rey) – National Anthem (Remix)

Comparing himself to V-Nasty because of the fact that he’s not black (but he is half-black!) and he says nigga. V-Nasty is a white girl who has been known to say nigga and gets hated on a lot. Vic using this comparison is actually really funny, and he then goes on to say nigga a couple more times as if proving he can get away with it.

"There's makes sense why you want beef, well this frozen /..." (Joey BADA$$ – Killuminati) | rejected

Youldn’t.

"Bitch I'm busy cruisin' / 'Scuse me" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Elimination Chamber) | rejected

Don’t mind Earl he’s just cruising (drunk).

"Drivin' into fences cause I hit the whip a little woozy" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Elimination Chamber) | accepted

Continuing the drunk-driving reference above.

"Drunk and drivin', twisty, how he inked up in the swimmin..." (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Elimination Chamber) | accepted

Should be: how he end up in the swimming pool.

"It's a ferry cruise" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – The Daily News) | accepted

Referring to above when he says ‘we swerve ships’.

"Rolling blunts, rollin' sleeves when I dirty up the ditches" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Gamebreaker) | accepted

Could be a triple entendre actually.

  • referring to the Earl’s new apprentice above and dirtying her ditch
  • she’s doing the dishes that Earl has ‘dirtied up’
  • dirtying the ditches as in throwing bodies in a ditch
"Nigga, bet that rhetoric offensive" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Gamebreaker) | accepted

Rhetoric is the art of all specialized literary uses of language in verse, including the figures of speech. Or more simply the ability to use language effectively.

So you bet Earl’s speaking and rapping is offensive!

"I'm the evil thought that's approachin' 'em on the coldes..." (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – No Idols) | rejected

Lol is Doms referencing DOOM?

It’s never present tense. Which means they are always beyond everyone else, and living in the future.

"This the Frigidaire freezer shit" (Domo Genesis & Alchemist – Gamebreaker) | accepted

Also calling back to the first line in the song, “I am the coldest speaking”. His flow is frozen because his voice is cold. Very clever and easy to miss.
