He’s saying he must be going crazy to use the phrase “super fly” 9 times in just 9 bars.
Then he tells you what peoples reactions would be if he had said it any less, but because it was 9 times it was genius and he’s better than everyone out.

Also the usage of super fly was great pattern rap.

He doesn’t need a gun or violence to kill people because his style is so insane it’s doing it for him. Play on the old phrase.
He also just got through telling you how he’s so “super fly” which has to do directly with his style.

To shoot someone you aim at them and make sure it’s completely on them aka “zeroing in” and pull the trigger.

and “Shooter”

A reference to chess. In Chess the King can move in any direction one square. The pawn can only move directly in front of them one square. So the pawn is basically no threat to the king.

Los is saying he’s the king and other rappers are just pawns.

The other two genres, on the other hand, added Worst Picture contenders along with Worst Picture winners.

In Comedy’s case, a Eddie Murphy megaflop and Mike Myers smudging Dr. Seuss’s name. The only 20th century nominee was Bill Cosby (pre-rape charges), and from the recent bunch was crowned the big winner of the previous year, where the main stars having an affair led to misguided rewrites trying to make a romantic comedy.

Gigli (2003)
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
The Cat in the Hat (2003)
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Leonard Part 6 (1987)

Musical only had one winner, the very first starring the Village People. And extended the nominees to six, also covering disco rollerskating, a really odd pairing (Stallone and Dolly Parton!), the Spice Girls and Mariah Carey; in the end, the GRAF crowned a cheap, quick and cynical attempt to cash in on American Idol.

From Justin to Kelly (2003)
Can’t Stop the Music (1980)
Glitter (2001)
Rhinestone (1984)
Spice World (1998)
Xanadu (1980)

As in, most nominations with a Razzie.
Kim Basinger
Worst Actress: 9½ Weeks, The Marrying Man, Cool World/Final Analysis, The Getaway, Bless the Child/I Dreamed of Africa

Kim Basinger was a stunner, is still beautiful, and can act if given a chance – to the point she won an Oscar for L.A. Confidential. Still, she had enough bad choices in her career to eventually fizzle out. And to her luck, whenever the Razzies recognized her Kim was up against worse targets (Madonna twice, along with bad turns by Sharon Stone, Melanie Griffith and Sean Young).

Angelina Jolie
Worst Actress noms: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider / Original Sin, Life or Something Like It, Beyond Borders / Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, Alexander / Taking Lives

Angelina Jolie built a somewhat respectable career following her Oscar win in Girl, Interrupted, but still had her share of mishaps to earn four consecutive years of Razzie noms. Still, none of those movies were as bad as Glitter, Crossroads, Swept Away, Gigli and Catwoman to warrant her a Razzie.

Ryan O'Neal

Actor: Tough Guys Don’t Dance, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn
Worst Actor of the 1980s nom

To count as 7 noms instead of three, the four other movies in his nom as worst Actor of the 1980s besides Tough Guys Don’t Dance were added. Still, no other actor had three noms with no wins (losing to Bill Cosby, Stallone and Bruce Willis) at the time. Though if the Worst Loser happened again in the 35th edition, O'Neal could easily be replaced by Nicolas Cage, who in the folllowing ten years emassed five noms for those terrible movies his debt with the IRS forced him to accept.

Keanu Reeves

Actor: Johnny Mnemonic/A Walk in the Clouds, Chain Reaction, Sweet November/Hardball,
Supporting Actor: Much Ado About Nothing, The Watcher

Yes, one of the outstanding “inexpressive actors” never won a Razzie. Keanu’s luck owes to both worse competition (Pauly Shore, Tom Arnold, Tom Green, and the Worst Picture winners Indecent Proposal and Battlefield: Earth) and being ignored for some of his worst performances (Bram Stoker’s Dracula) or movies (The Day the Earth Stood Still).

Since he took a dump on the stars and they’re out of this world, obviously his shit is out of this world, literally.
Also, he’s saying the clever things he says no one else from here can say so he must be from outer space.

An Arby’s sign is in the shape of a hat:

He’s saying the stuff he says is too complicated/clever for you to understand so it just goes over your head and you don’t get it.
