Those with a silver spoon are born into riches/luxury and don’t have to work for what they want, or are simply spoiled

Those with a ball and chain are typically the 9-5ers working to make ends meet. The ball and chain visually represents one who is “slaving away” if you will

Keeping it one hundred another way of saying that you stay true, real, and honest to yourself, regardless of what other people say or think. A nice variation to the cliche. .

The “misunderstood” are people who look at these genuine dudes and think that they’re trying to hard to be cool… or something along those lines. Basically instantly hating. .

Dumb’s just a regular guy who loves music in general. His love for music is reflected in the quality of his own work. .

ACCEPTED COMMENT: From the moment he wakes up, he has ideas for new music.
He’s a regular guy, but his appreciation for music makes him seem more complex than he really is.

Dumbfoundead kicked off his career with rap battling, most notably on Grind Time West Coast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdTVJh-tYOE

Poltergeist, however, is an horror film, set in California (so the scenes are in LA), the plot focuses on a family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct the family’s youngest daughter.

That’s how he reprensents his rap battling that he was doing everywhere in LA.

Dumb’s mom let him pursue a rap career, because she supported what anything he wanted to do, as long as it made him happy (and if it was legal..).

His mom was as supportive as this beam can support the workers.

This means a lot.
