The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are under the leadership of Splinter, a mutant rat and Kung Fu master.

Continuing to smear 50 and paint him as a snitch, he refers to him as a rat.

This sentence consisting of just 10 words summarizes why there is so much violence between police and a large majority of black people in America. While some like to argue (naively) that racism somehow expired when slavery was abolished, it is clearly and evidently not the case. If anything, those who were against freeing the slaves (racist whites) likely hated black people even more after they were freed. Among those racist white people who were against the abolishing of slavery, many were police officers. Many others were judges, lawyers or held other crucial positions of authority or importance in society. This is what is referred to as “Institutional Racism.” Police in particular though, had the most direct position of contact with black people. There are countless accounts of police brutality against blacks (and other minorities) that can be found with a simple Google search. Because black people were (and sadly, still are) so heavily targeted by police, it has created a “counter culture” in and of itself wherein “Fuck the Police” is the underlining slogan and overall sentiment among black Americans.

Many uninformed Americans believe that black people are just wild, violent and disrespectful people who like to arrogantly break the law and undermine authority. They either don’t realize or flat out ignore the fact that the “fuck the police” counterculture is a reaction to this institutionalized racism that exists. Again, though, they naively believe that institutionalized racism does not exist and is just an excuse for black people to do whatever they want.

Slim Thug, like Paul Wall and Mike Jones, is also from Houston, TX. So is Bun B. Game is basically giving a shout out to the Houston rap scene.

King of Rock is the second studio album with title track by Run DMC.

the album sees the group adopting a more rock-influenced sound, with several tracks prominently featuring heavy guitar riffs

Game, however, isn’t talking about guitar riffs. He means crack cocaine.

Dutch Masters are popular among weed smokers for rolling up weed in, but you gotta open them up and get the tobacco, or “guts” out in order to do so.

People aren’t full of tobacco, though. Obviously. He means he’ll blow your internal organs all over the place with his gun(s).

Anyone familiar with Paul Wall will know that he is famous for his shiny diamond encrusted grills or “fronts,” as Game calls them here.

Paul doesn’t just wear these, though. He also makes them for other rappers (e.g. Nelly, Diddy, Lil Jon) and anyone with the bread to spend. Thus, you may find Pual Wall’s “fronts” shining in any hood in America.

After informing us that his mom used cocaine during her pregnancy, he tells us why. Only teenagers themselves, his parents weren’t exactly mature or responsible adults. They railed against the establishment and the social norms of the era by doing drugs.

Cocaine was typically chopped into a fine powder using razor blades, and usually on mirrors. Straws were used to snort the powder.

Cocaine, or “blow” was huge in the 80’s. Your parents may not have done it, but Apathy’s did, and implies that his mother did the drug even while she was pregnant with him.

Ap samples the opening line from the theme song to Will Smith’s classic 80’s tv show, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, where Smith raps:

Here is a story all about how my life got flipped/turned upside down

A parody of all things 80’s, the Get Busy Committee made a plethora of pop culture references to the decade. They even further sampled the theme song in another song on the album, Chillin Out Maxin.

By using the analogy of looking at something “upside down”, Apathy soon reminds us that there was an ugly side to the 80’s, as well.

Ah, the 80’s. A colorful decade, to say the least. Neon colors, sharp angles and shiny clothing permeated the times.
