efemjay’s opponent is named Antoine Johnson. efemjay asks if it might in fact be Antoine Dodson, the star of the Auto-Tune The News sensation, “Bed Intruder.”

efemjay says he’s delivering “fatness” — quality rap music; “never lean,” meaning he’s always fat. And yet he’s staying “hungry” (despite being fat and never lean) — metaphorically hungry.

He compares this “hunger” to that of the protagonist of The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen.

As an alternative to making him fight in Kony’s army, efemjay says he might drop his opponent in the hood with a sign that not only says “Fuck Obama!” but “George Zimmerman for President.”

Obama is popular in the hood. George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin, is not. It would probably not be a good idea to actively campaign against Obama and for Zimmerman in the hood.

This sets up the rest of the verse. It is intended to infantilize Ruffin; casting efemjay in the role of wise teacher and Ruffin in that of pupil.

Here, efemjay is making an allusion to Alex Ruffin’s youth. He says that he’ll kidnap young Ruffin and force him to fight in the African Warlord Kony’s child army.

Here, efemjay is saying that Alex Ruffin’s rapping ability is inferior to his own, and that as a result, Ruffin could never do figurative damage to him in a rap battle.

This verse is part of the RapGenius.com battle-rap tournament. At one point, it was rumored that the grand prize would be a new beat produced by Wu-Tang Clan beat-maker the Rza. Here, efemjay says he doesn’t need the grand prize, because “brass tacks” the Rza pays him to rap on his beats. This is a boast. It is not actually “fact.”

Later it was revealed that the actual grand prize is a pair of Rza headphones.

Rapper Sean Price says that fans of Kid Cudi should kill themselves.

efemjay says he listened to Alex Ruffin’s songs and they had poor sound quality.

Alex Ruffin says this on his YouTube page:

“Kid Cudi is one of my inspirations when it comes down to why i do music…

But efemjay says Alex Ruffin is an inferior version of Kid Cudi.

efemjay says he’s “quick to toast an emcee” if you put one up against him. But “by the luck of the draw,” efemjay is facing Alex Ruffin — who, by implication, efemjay does not consider to be an emcee.
