Charlemagne the God and Lord Jamar both have godly pseudonyms. Since Yela is the enemy of both of them, this makes him a devil.

This is also a reference to the belief of the Nation of Gods and Earth, of which both Jamar and Charlemagne are members, that white people are the devil.

A few weeks before the release of this cypher, a you-tuber named “The Vigilant Christian” called Yelawolf’s latest single ‘Till it’s Gone’ “a Satanic mockery of Christianity”.

When I was joining #QRules HQ I originally made myself “jimmy-Q”, but I thought to myself I needed a better name.

I just finished watching “I Am Somebody”, and the name just clicked.

The rap group had been showing off that faceless hooded boy with wings for a while, but no name (as I know of), so I thought myself “Ghostface-Q”.

It based well around Q, it was dope, and it really fitted around concept of Alpha’s & illustriousQ gifs.

Plus, this thing (GhostFace-Q) in the video liked Wu-Tang, so was probably some subliminal thought to me just coming up with the name.

This mixtape was released in April 2011.

That is 7 years after their last album release D12 World, but they actually released the mixtape Return of the Dozen Vol 1 three years before (2008).

And, ironically, this intro is at the end of the mixtape, which means you just heard their whole mixtape.

This guitar solo is widely known as the best guitar solo in history. In fact, this came in on Rolling Stones as the greatest guitar solo ever.

Apparently, however, Slash didn’t feel same-way:

When “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was written, it was a joke as far as I was concerned. I was just fuckin’ around when I came up with that riff. To me it was a nightmare because, for some strange reason, everyone picked up on it and, the next thing you knew, it had turned into a song. I hated it forever! The guitar solo itself is a one-take, spontaneous kind of thing. Having played the song at rehearsals enough times, when it came to recording it I knew exactly where the melody was and it came real easy.

The older generation don’t really understand Hip-Hop/Rap and so they don’t like it. So, the older generations don’t seem to phase him musically.

“My Nana says ‘Tom you were a boy that I knew once'
But so much has changed in the last few months”.

You cam see how elder’s react to Eminem’s rap: it’s not their thing.
