But I don't give a bit cos I ain't hopping your bandwagon Cool C – Juice Crew Dis

A reference to Shan’s “Kill That Noise”, in which he claims that BDP only attacked him to get on the bandwagon, i.e. make a name for themselves off the back of his fame.

Ironically Cool C’s label Pop Art practically invented the tactic of dissing popular records to gain publicity. They started the Roxanne Wars in 1984 and followed up with responses to “The Show” (Super Nature’s “The Show Stoppa”) and “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” (Steady B’s “Take Your Radio”).

That, and the fact that Cool C sounds exactly like MC Shan, makes his claim that he’s not hopping on the bandwagon far less credible.

It's dedicated to you, you chump
You hear my record, I bet Kool-Aid pumps
I'm dissing you and I ain't thinking twice
This time boy, you better be nice Cool C – Juice Crew Dis

cf. MC Shan in “Kill That Noise”

This goes for all sucker MC chumps
Who hear my name, and suddenly Kool-Aid pumps
So if you’re thinking ‘bout dissing me, better think twice
Cause next time, brother, I won’t be so nice

Saying that someone’s heart pumps Kool-Aid is another way of calling them shook.
