Wiki is saying here that he always speaks what is on his mind and does not care about what people thinks about him. He is going to keep telling us the truth and just speaking in general until he has put his points across to all the people that listen to his music. He is basically honest, and persistent in getting in his views across.

This is another highlight of the album for me. This song features Domo Genesis and Earl Sweatshirt who both do there thing on this song. Domo starts off with a very dope verse and has proved this year that he is a very capable rapper. Nice smooth flow over a soulful Madlib beat makes all of these verses worth listening to. Earl Sweatshirt really fits the beat of this song as his style is very lowkey and chilled out. He spits some really dope lines with a nice chilled out flow that really fits the beat. Freddie Gibbs also delivers yet another dope verse as he has done throughout the album. Very good stuff. The skit at the end does take away from the soulful beat but is very comedic and funny. Earl probably had the best verse in my opinion.

Score- 9.5/10

The Action Packed Mentalist believes that his love for hip hop maybe dying because it has caused him to be shut off from the outside world because of the amount of music that gets released, the news, beefs, new up and coming artists. There is a lot in hip hop to get sucked into which could be very time consuming and as a result, would lead to a life shut off from the outside world. It means that he is no longer in touch with the elements of the outdoors. He realizes, that he needs to be less sucked into hip hop and enjoy life outside.

The Action Packed Mentalist: “It’s also an allusion to hip hop’s original party spirit with the dancing and deejaying and shit (you know, hip hop’s ELEMENTS). I figured that I may spend too much time in my room making beats and writing bars and not enough time living the original, outside, community aspect of hip hop,”

Some fans of Dizzee’s first few albums such as “Boy in da corner” and “Showtime” have been disappointed because Dizzee has been moving with the times and going for the more mainstream sound in his music. Dizzee is saying here, that people expect him to go against the norms of pop music and go back to the way he was before and “Knuckle up” as in fight back against the music industry so they can let him release what he wants to without being told what he can and can’t do.

Nas is a rapper that has been highly regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. He is especially well known for the classic album illmatic which is regarded as one of the best hip hop albums of all time. The Action Packed Mentalist is saying here that there must be something wrong in hip hop or his feelings towards hip hop if even a legend such as Nas doesn’t have much of an impact on him anymore. He is just not feeling hip hop like he used to.

2006 was the year that Nas' album “Hip Hop Is Dead” was released. While the phrase “Hip Hop is dead” was used before the release of this album, this phrase became very popular as a result of this album’s release. It was a time when hipsters were the biggest voices in hip hop and were hating on mainstream hip hop music. The Action Packed Mentalist is saying here that he is not being a hipster by saying that hip hop is dead, but he just isn’t feeling it as much as he used to.

This is a reference to the film Juice which stars 2pac (Tupac Shakur). Vic is saying here that when some people get on the mic, they try and copy 2Pac because he is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time and many people want to imitate him. The phrase “2Pac Juice” refers to 2Pac’s style as a rapper that many artists have tried to bite his style. When an artist bites another artists style, they do not often last long in the industry and often disappear due to the amount of hate they receive from the public especially when you bite the style of a legendary and really famous rapper.

Double entendre:

First meaning: It could mean that I rap about subjects that are risky just like having your head in a guillotine which is a form of execution where a blade is pulled up by pulling a rope and the persons head is placed in a hole and when the rope is released, the blade falls on the persons neck which leads to them being decapitated.

Second Meaning: I am rapping over the beat from the critically acclaimed album “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and I am rapping over the beat from the song "Guillotine” from the album. Here is a link below to the song:

This is a reference to the song “Senile” by Young money. It quotes the hook of “Senile” Which is:

Can you see now? Are you senile?

Here, I am asking a rhetorical question. I am asking people if they understand what the message I am trying to put across is all about and if they are aware of their mistakes that leads to violence and global warming. Even if they know that these things are bad, they can never accept responsibility so they can not see the mistakes that they have made and I call these people “Senile” which means that these people are weak and disabled.
