He’s “in the flesh” meaning he’s in the present and not still living in the past even though he’s known for his earlier work. He has no “Nostalgia” (song title), and is happy with his career is at the moment, and looking back on the past, he wouldn’t change a thing. Also he is still “fresh” and just as good at rapping as he’s always been.

This and the following two lines mimic Big Daddy Kane in his verse from “Just Rhymin' with Biz”:

Well it’s the Kane in the flesh, of course I’m fresh
Oh you thought that I was rotten? Huh, I beg your pardon

If you thought Masta Ace’s style was going old from being in the game since 1988, you must be smoking some weed laced with Meth (a.k.a “speed”).

Most likely not to Masta Ace’s knowledge, but when blood is pumped from the Aorta to the brain, the first place it goes is the Cerebrum, where most of one’s actions and thoughts are controlled. I doubt he went that in-depth with this rhyme, but it would be super dope if he’s saying that if you’re actually listening to his important messages, then you’ll realize that his words are so fundamental and real that they should inspire your thoughts and actions.

He is talking about rap.

All that’s left that he can give to hip hop is two tears, because he already is hip hop, as he talks about in the following lines.

The origin of calling hip hop “her” stemmed from Common’s classic song from 1993 “I Used To Love H.E.R.”.

The song uses an extended metaphor, using a woman to represent hip hop music.

The acronym “H.E.R” means “Hearing every rhyme”, therefore stating “I Used to Love Hearing Every Rhyme and also Hip Hop in its Essence is Real.”

Is this legal? Lil B doesn’t rap. It’s just the song “Sexy Boy” by Shawn Michaels, no remixing, no rapping, nothing. And it’s number 181 of his 676 song mixtape. Oh, and Shawn Michaels is a WWF professional wrestler. “Sexy Boy” is his theme music.

The Black Eyed Peas are a very soft mainstream pop group, and Guerilla doesn’t make fake songs like them, but he’s just as hot. Interestingly enough, Snoop Dogg (RG vereified account here) made a comment about how tight Will.I.Am’s pants are in the song “Kush” with Dr. Dre.
