Wayne and Juelz were planning to release a joint album titled I Can’t Feel My Face. While Wayne had a track on this tape entitled “I Can’t Feel My Face,” that’s as close as the project came to being made. Unofficial mixtapes now bear that title, and in 2012 Genius' Rob Markman published an article explaining that project ended up becoming I Am Not A Human Being II.

The classic NES video game Contra is known for its outrageous gun usage and insane difficulty with only three lives. Juelz is playing the role, carrying large guns and always shooting.

I wonder if Juelz has 30 lives?

So if they ever thought the South and the North was gonna collide
That's what they thinking!
Guess what? We already did
Already! Go! Lil Wayne (Ft. Juelz Santana) – Black Republicans

Juelz is referring to his duet album with Wayne, When the North & South Collide, which they had completed by this point.

Lil Wayne is from New Orleans, Louisiana, while Juelz is from New York City. Thus, the south and the north actually meet on this song.

The Rock of Gibraltar has now fallen on you Lil Wayne (Ft. Juelz Santana) – Black Republicans

Literally, the most stable thing, the Rock of Gibraltar, has fallen down, landing on you. This is a double diss, both stating that Wayne and Juelz have taken down the best and that it has landed on everyone else. They are now the top of the game.

This is probably a subtle Jay-Z diss, mentioning a line from Sierra Leone Diamonds remix. Jay compares himself to the Rock of Gibraltar, stating that he will never fall:

How could you not falter when you’re the Rock of Gibraltar?

By falling, the rock, Jay, is no longer top dog. This follows in line with similar “Fuck Jay-Z” tracks from Wayne and the line at the end:

This is not a diss song either, people

Party Up (Up in Here) DMX – Party Up (Up in Here)

A scathing diss track against unnamed rappers who were driving DMX out of his tree, this banger from …And Then There Was X is a common party song.

Producer Swizz Beatz talked about the track in an interview with Complex

That’s our biggest record, globally. ‘Party Up’ was at a time when things were moving fast. X was probably frustrated coming to the studio that day like, ‘Y’all gone make me lose my mind!’ A lot of the stuff we were doing was in the moment. When he says, ‘Y’all gone make me lose my mind!’ it’s probably what he was really feeling.

So we said, ‘You’re not the only person who feels like that. Everybody feels like that.’ We took that frustration and excitement and put it into a hit song. […] I just went in there bugging out. I didn’t think they would keep the ‘One, two, meet me outside.’

The music video shows DMX getting framed for a bank robbery and getting away after hoes invade the police siege.

Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest DMX – Party Up (Up in Here)

Double meaning here. Grandma will hope you are in heaven, but knows that the number of shots you took on the street from DMX probably means Hell.

Also, the amount and size of the holes makes it hard to digest food, as the stomach is probably ruptured.

He’s also saying that since the soul lives in the body in biblical terms, that with how big of a wound to the chest, there’s figuratively and literally no way the soul escaped the body unscathed.

“hard to digest”
this could mean it is hard to get over the fact that the person is dead and will no longer be around.

Doors wide, my trunk bump like Eddy Road (Haha) King Chip – Interior Crocodile Alligator

To learn more about participating in the Genius Editorial project, check out the contributor guidelines.

There is a road in Cleveland called “Eddy Road,” which is infamous for its potholes. His speakers are so large that they make his car bump up and down, just as much as the potholes on Eddy Road. Eddy Road is in the St. Clair section of town, Chip’s home and a place mentioned in the song:

Catch me by the Clair, I’ll be right there

He also has large, oversized doors on his SUV.

“Doors wide” and “trunk bump” are two classic terms in Texas car culture (specifically “slab” culture, which Chip’s label is a direct reference to).

“Doors wide” refers to driving down the road (slowly) with your doors wide open, usually while swerving back and forth across the road playing music loud (aka “swangin and bangin”).

“Trunk bump” references bass in trunk thumping (or “bumping), so since Eddy Road is known for being full of potholes and bumpy, it’s a play on words to say that your "trunk [has] bump[s] like Eddy Road”.

The futuristic loop it with the quickness
Hyper-producin' hydrogen fusion liquids, keep your distance Deltron 3030 – Mastermind

Dan merges beats together in a way that is as odd as nuclear fusion. It seems impossible, but the result is something amazing. Liquids, lame producers, need stay away, lest they get turned into nothingness.

Del has a great knack for rapping about futuristic topics, often blending science into his rhymes.

Hydrogen fusion is the sun’s way of generating energy (by the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium). He warns liquids to stay away because the sun’s energy causes them to dissipate into the atmosphere through a process known as vaporization.

Dan is a time traveler (looper) who brings with him the knowledge of creating these quick futuristic beats. The beats are so hot the their like hydrogen fusion. All mc’s that are just flowing like liquids keep your distance because you cant handle the heat like del can.
