How could Ice-T be referring to a 1992 film in 1988?

“Bébé’s Kids is a 1992 American adult animated comedy film produced by Hyperion Studio for Paramount Pictures.”

Yo, just take that last part off and this is a perfectly fine description of the song. Maybe just add that each verse is specific to a person: First verse disses 50, second disses Hov, third disses Suge.

This song came out the same year Kurt Cobain killed himself, in 1994, after his death on 5th April. Given how famous Nirvana was back then, his suicide was big news.

“2 Cups of Blood” features two of the three rappinng Gravediggaz members, The Grym Reaper and the RZArector, boasting with some deadly metaphors.

Producer The Undertaker/Prince Paul told the story of why The Gatekeeper (Frukwan) did not appear on the track along with detailing the process of creating it:

“2 Cups Of Blood” was recorded at my house, it was recorded on an 8-track cassette Tascam, I had an SM58 microphone, everything that you hear on that record is low budget and we just mixed it at a decent studio to make it sound good. But yeah, that was recorded at the house; Poetic and RZA were going back and forth. I know Frukwan kinda felt left out, I don’t think he was there at the time they recorded the rhymes. I was like “yo it sounds good as it is man, I don’t wanna change it.” Not every song has to be predictable with all the same people all the time. It’s one of my favorite songs, the beat was a mistake but it worked out and I gotta thank RZA for that because he heard something that I didn’t hear.
