Hollow keeps his cool – ties mildly to the water theme – whereas Surf is afraid to venture in.

He coats himself with the monstrosity attribute of Mr.Hyde mixed with the swagger of Denzel’s character in the Crimson Tide movie; a rebellious submarine commander.

If the battle rap game was a sea, and the elite players were the gliding fish (since they literally fly over the surface), Surf would belong to the category of consumable dishes ; shrimp and fries.

Since Tsu is proclaimed the Jersey leader, defeating him should get his guys reluctant to team up on Hollow…

These couple of lines are designed to taunt Surf’s crew and lead them into a reaction that fits the idiom of being on their toes (alert state) and finally set up the ballerina metaphor.

Hoffa’s catchphrase battle introduction goes “Right now, X is like finally, daddy’s spending time with me” which goes to place him above his opponent by “fathering” him.
Here he twists it to “Abu” which translates (badly) to “Dad” in arabic, fitting in with Dizaster’s ethnicity.

“ Après ils attaquent Eminem car je rappe de cette manière
Mais j'en suis content car ils me fournissent le carburant dont j'ai besoin pour que le feu brûle
et c'est entrain de brûler et j'ai été de retour ”

Les critiques inspirent le contenu de ses raps de façon qu'il peut riposter à contre-feu, d'où le jeu sur “j'ai été de retour” après la thématique du feu/motivation. La métaphore est plus claire en anglais dans le terme “backfire” qui signifie avoir un effet contre-productif.

“ Va t'appeler un avocat, constitue toi un dossier
Je sourirais dans la salle d'audience et t’achèterais une nouvelle garde robe”

Une poursuite judiciaire se traduit en “lawsuit” en anglais, ce qui peut également être interprété comme “costume de loi” (law suit), d'où le jeu de mot sur acheter un garde-robe entier à cette personne.

Façon de dire qu'il est assez riche pour passer à travers ce genre de poursuites judiciaires sans amocher son porte-feuille.

“ À gérer ce stress qui me rongeait dernièrement au plus profond de moi
Et je repose de nouveau en paix ”

Les dites phrases distribuées (ses lignes de rap) lui servent d'exutoire pour dissiper son stress, de façon à ce qu'une fois partagées, il est de nouveau capable de se reposer.

Il est intéressant de noter que “rest again peacefully” a “RAP” pour acronyme. Selon ce sens, il est capable de rapper après s'être reposé l'esprit, et vice-versa, créant ainsi un cycle infini.
