While Voss doesn’t kiss ass to succeed, he admits that he is also not a “proud soldier” fighting to save hip-hop, as he is ultimately just trying to make a living for himself from art while maintaining his integrity.

Voss was never rich, and came into hip-hop without much money to fund himself, and is well aware that by the time he dies he could very well be broke. He says this is because he will not “deep throat” (meaning he won’t shmooze with any shady characters) in order to become rich (to have “deep pockets”).

While having “hot” lines is all well and good, the listener is encouraged to look for a deeper meaning that they can find hope in amongst all of the clouds of bullshit saturating hip-hop nowadays, personified as “the weed smoke”.

Voss’s lines are so “hot” (good) that the listener can metaphorically catch heat stroke from what he writes.

Whether an emcee is dresses in a baggy Carhartt hoodie or a slimmer fitting pea-coat, they are all making the same type of art, so all that should matter is whether they are good at their craft or not.

A question about stereotypically homophobic rappers and fans who seem to be more concerned with how a rapper dresses than how they, uh…rap.
Talent is a lot more important than how tight a dude’s jeans fit…thanks for noticing though.

The rappers who have a simple, silly ass dance with most of their music are typically saying nothing of importance. Voss compares them saying nothing in their music to famous British comic character Mr. Bean, who never, ever speaks during his sketches.

Turning the song’s aim back to the landscape of modern hip-hop, aspiring emcees are warned that if they don’t have some kind of dumbass dance to go with their music (the track below “Lean Wit It Rock Wit It” is specifically referenced), they will have to put in twice the effort of those taking the more commercially-accessible route in order to make enough money or “green shit” to live off their art.

Voss is a pretty skinny, reasonably non-threatening looking dude:

hence the “body frame bulimic” description (comparing his thin physique to that of someone with bulimia). He realizes that his previous threat of catching “assault and battery” may be hard to believe due to his appearance, but assures the listener that he was raised to remain true to his word, and will indeed break their kneecaps if they touch anyone he loves.

While he will turn the other cheek if someone merely insults him personally, Voss admits that he is not beyond causing someone physical harm if they touch those close to him, which continues with the concept of his own inner-conflict.
