He’s not worried about Illuminati but he’ll eliminate anyone who wants to get in his way, even if it includes the Devil.

The Illuminati are a fictional world-control group popularized by author Dan Brown. References frequent rap, including Yelawolf’s “2.0 Boys” verse:

And that’s as close as I get to a pyramid
Shit, they think I’m Illuminati, so fucking ignorant

Excuse me?? ‘A fictional world-control?’ Dude, do research. Illuminati is being around since 1776. It is a REAL secret society which actually controls in the shadows and among others, the music industry and the media. U should listen to 2Pac’s album ‘Killuminati’, that shit about ‘selling their souls to the devil for fame and fortune’, the symbology using their hands… artists should be original, unique… but every single one if the main artists are doing the same: the all-seeing eye, 666 and the pyramid… all of them linked to that society. You are in or u are dead. (2pac, michael jackson, whitney houston, amy winehouse, jimmy hendrix, bob marley…) listen to what DMX got to say to you, why he was prisoned and that shit… or listen to a live performance rapping about this. Mass control and power.. that’s how this works.. There is sooo many info out there. (rockefeller, rothschild…) do research and keep it real!

The source of Mark’s disinterest in sex may trace back to his attention deficit disorder. This controversial disorder makes the person unable to pay attention to the what they should be doing. Interestingly, the mass media presence of ADD was much less in 1999, making Mark one of the first to really embrace it in music and culture.

Off of the BasedGod Velli mixtape. Samples Wiz Khalifa’s “Ink My Whole Body.

Eschewing any form of rhyme scheme and tackling issues as diverse as worldwide pimping and healthcare, Lil B continues his slew of PSA-style raps with swag to the max. Like a modern-day Thoreau, Lil B breaks down traditional rap structure, freestyling spoken word about whatever comes to mind and sketching a picture of a better world for us all.

Thank you, BasedGod, oh bard of the streets!

More clever wordplay:

A popular idiom to describe close friends was “bosom buddies.” Bosoms also refer to breasts. Tip wants to stay close to the girl like a good friend, but also close to her body like a love.

“Buddy” is the fourth single off of De La Soul’s debut album 3 Feet High and Rising, reaching #2 on the US Rap Chart in early 1990. The song features the Jungle Brothers and Q-Tip, both fellow members of the Native Tongues collective.

According to Pitchfork, “Buddy” wasn’t a ‘pal’ or ‘friend’:

Their album would be full of inside jokes [and] invented slang (“A phrase called talk” was their rhyme style, “Public Speaker” was a dope emcee, “Buddy” was a hot body, and “Strictly Dan Stuckie” meant “awesome”).

Free Throws = Pressure
Lay-Ups = Easy point

Wale doesn’t even feel the pressure, dropping flow like a faucet. He doesn’t even breathe hard…

Fuck it, I’m done
Let me breathe hard like it was hard
Huh Huh
You know how them rappers do
Huh Huh
