A fairly subtle pun by Free here – he nods both to the fact that he has collaborated on a song with Mariah Carey, and also that his new songs are crazy, punning on Mariah’s often-bizarre behavior

Cloning Freeway’s style would be damn near impossible. No other rapper has his unique sense of rhyme and timing – he commonly uses unusual ABBA rhyme schemes that are too difficult to pull off unless they are a natural part of your style, as with Free. An example from later in this song:

When it come to screwing, she know what she doing
I don’t know what she saying, but I love her lingo

Juvie’s words here are a tribute to the second verse of MC TT Tucker and DJ Irv’s legendary tune “Where Dey At”, which is generally regarded as the first bounce song. Juvie himself started as a more orthodox bounce artist, as can be heard on his 1991 New Orleans hit “Bounce (for the Juvenile)”
