Canibus is wondering about what would have occurred if the South were to be the victors in the Civil War?

There are some obvious outcomes that would’ve occurred:

But I believe Canibus is thinking beyond that, as in not just the continuation of slavery, but who would’ve been the next president? Or would the South have then conquered the North? Would African-Americans have still earned their freedom even under southern rule?

Canibus is trying hard to imagine it all….

He’s rich enough to pay in full, so there’s no need to split the bill. In other words, Yung Lean (now that he can) got his friends' backs, tying into the previous “bros before hoes” bars in the beginning of the verse.

Also note the play on splitting bills, in that Yung Lean both can financial support his homies, and he’ll also make sure they always got something to eat.

Don’t think it’s rapid fire? Check this out:

Eminem spits 1720 syllables in less than 5 minutes (300 seconds). That’s an average of 5.85 syllables per second!

Check the original math backing this up here, you’ll be a believer once you see it yourself.

Rip the Jacker released back in 2003, still fresh from the attacks of 9/11 in America. Canibus name drops Guantanamo Bay, which became America’s detention center for extremely dangerous criminals and terrorists, and most detained under the War on Terror were also specifically sent to Guantanamo Bay.

Therefore, if you had a Muslim name, or in other words was suspicious of being a terrorist and danger to America (just cause you looked like a ‘terrorist of course’), the government could easily arrest and send you to Guantanamo Bay where you were treated terribly and tortured.

While the ‘mainstream’ might forget about Canibus and his lyrical ability (as seen by his lack of sales after his debut album), in the end, literal history will remember about Canibus because it’s already been recognized and archived about his abilities.

To exacerbate is make something worse.

So Rip (Canibus) is saying that those who hate on his alter-ego Rip the Jacker only show poor taste (in terms of music choices) and make their fate worse. It is implied that their fate is then complete annihilation.

Yung Lean taking after 2Pac, using 2Pac’s last alias, Makaveli. The alias is a reference to Niccolo Machiavelli, Italian philosopher and author of The Prince.

Yung Lean loves making these sort of references/interjections relating to rappers he loves, in this case using 2Pac’s name for himself before he begins the song.

The album on which the alias appeared on.
