He separates "the" and "suckers" into two separate bars. Very few MCs ever does that.

Milk tried a lot of weird shit in his rhymes back then.

it made it easier to hear if you had the 12 inch with the acapella on it....

why would Gizmo cut up for the suckers anyways... that's the part that I never understood.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Pretty wild for Top Billin to be that innovate with the rhyme schemes was back then.

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

Because of a discussion I had with someone about Audio Two in 1991.

The lyric we just plain didn't understand was from I Don't Care:
"I got speakers, the size of your girl"

Is his girl TINY? Or is it a normal size girl but a bigger speaker? Or is her girl a basketball player and the speakers are GIANT???

Also we agreed that The Freshet Slow jam was SUPER WEAK.

For YEARS, everyone thought the chorus was, "Relax yourself girl please sit down."

While what's actually said is, "Relax yourself girl, please set-tle down."

It's interesting how some of us listened to words in lyrics when we were younger versus how we do with an older ear.

but there's never been a time I've listened to the recording and actually heard them say that. I refuse to believe it lol. I hear it when they do it live, but nope, they're not saying that on the recording.

Guess #2 was "Relax yourself girl, please set-tle down."

Most people thought ""Relax yourself girl, peace, set-tle down."

"Relax yourself girl, please slap that c-lam." was a distant 3, but my favorite.

I really think most people who thought it was settle because of Ms. Melodie's line "The violence in rap must cease and seckle," after her husbands "I'll be back, but for now just sekkle!"
