When the bell starts chiming, you know things are going down. In this case, it’s warning that the prisoner is to be taken to the gallows pole to be hanged.

(bells ring in the background of this intro, as the “tolling of the bells” is a church custom to mark a death. In this case it is to mark the impending execution of the condemned man.)

Popular things/people often make it to the front pages of newspapers, television and radio.

Popular songs with cool lyrics and hooks/chouruses will be played on radio alot because the radio stations will want to attract more listeners.

Popular rap songs are mostly songs that have no deep meaning which will benefit listeners in a good way or teach them a lesson. It’s mostly about partying, getting girls, partying, getting high, partying and all that fun stuff.

Quite obviously, many people (outside of Hip Hop) will think the whole genre is made up of such songs and will try to criticize Hip Hop harshly.

Nobody likes it when other people criticize or say bad things about somebody or something that we know well or are close to.

Here it’s the same, most(hopefully) fans of Hip Hop will not be quiet if somebody who does not have enough knowledge(of hip hop) insult the genre we love and listen to everyday!

Just like Screv6, I try to enlighten people , I tell them the good things about Hip Hop, hoping to remove that prejudice that is clouding their judgement

Fif is a former thug and an established gangsta rapper, so it should come as no shock that gun-talk has been a common topic in his music throughout the years. “Heat" and “Gunz Come Out” are other tracks that have been specifically dedicated to his gunmanship.

50 Cent is an intelligent man and knows all about how to conduct himself in the hood, after all, he has studied hood economics 101.

By ‘'do the math’‘ he’s basically saying you need to calculate the situations around you to be completely aware of your surroundings. Verrryy important if you don’t wanna get capped.

Obviously, Fif has done his fair share of thinking and planning, thus ending up to be the 6th richest rapper of all time.

Referring to the idiom ‘'seeing is believing’‘. When something is awfully unusual or too good to be true one will not easily believe it happened until he/she sees it with their very own eyes.

So you better think twice next time you question 50 Cent, he will not hesitate to fire his weapon and lay you on the ground. It ain’t even shit to him – he’s used to it!
