Dope D.O.D - What Happend (Dubstep vs Rap and it is Fucking Awesome) + Awesome Music Video
54 replies, posted
[QUOTE=thegrb93;29457130]I liked it. I'm not good at understanding these lyrics, but it seems to me like he's describing how shitty hip hop has gotten, which I agree with. That or he's dissing a rival rapper.[/QUOTE]
Here's a breakdown of the first verse:
[b]whattuppus, i hang with the hardest motherfuckers[/b]
He's saying he hangs out with the toughest people ever.
[b]i got rhymes by the buckets make you niggas wanna suck it[/b]
He has a lot of rhymes, and they make you want to suck his dick (this is meant hyperbolically, not literally, although even then it's kind of a dumb thing to say)
[b](something) I'm the epitome of God-gifted[/b]
God blessed him with rhyme skills and that's why he is so good at rapping (this is also hyperbole, as is pretty much everything else so don't get mad about it ok)
[b]when I busted my first rap, the whole planet shifted[/b]
This is another way of saying his raps are super good.
[b]lifted your mind to the next best hemisphere[/b]
His raps are also very intelligent and enlightening (they're not, but underground rappers like to brag about this).
[b]Next level shit and you best just step in here[/b]
His raps are better than everyone else's and he wants to fight you.
[b]Check my gear, I got flavor mad hip hop
I could run in the toughest neighborhood and not get shot[/b]
He's saying his clothes are really cool and hip hop and he can go to the ghetto without getting shot. This is probably the dumbest two bars in his entire verse, because 1. his "gear" is about 10 years out of date in terms of hip hop fashion, and 2. dressing in expensive fashion clothes in the ghetto makes you MORE likely to get shot, not less. Also "visiting the ghetto and not getting shot" is not really that incredible of an achievement.
[b]I black out when niggas start hating shit
Run over your crew like the New England Patriots[/b]
If you criticize his rhymes he will run over you and your friends, much like the New England Patriots. I don't know if the Patriots ever actually did this or if he just likes them.
[b]I'm the craziest, but I'm also the laziest[/b]
This is just nonsense.
[b]Never turn on the TV so I don't know who Jay-Z is[/b]
This is a great example of why European rappers are assholes. They like to copy American music and then act superior about it. After acting like he's the shit and bragging about his (outdated) clothes, he then brags about not knowing who Jay-Z is. The (unintentionally) funny part is it then cuts to him wearing a Yankees cap, which were essentially popularized by Jay-Z.
[b]What happened to rap in the 2-O era?[/b]
He wants to know what happened to rap in the 21st century. The answer is it changed, and he's mad because he wants it to stay the same as it was in the 1990s forever (that's why his flow sounds like he's copying rappers from the 90s).
[b]While they are getting worse, see, I'm only getting better[/b]
Self-explanatory, but not really true. He's probably the second best guy on this song but he's not really that good. It's mostly the beat that makes it cool.
[b]Niggas too old, Jay young and fresher[/b]
Umm okay.
[b]Put them under pressure, professer, test ya[/b]
This is just nonsense.
[b]What happened? Dope DOD became the illest[/b]
They are saying they became the best rappers of all time, and are surprised by this.
[b]What happened? Phony MCs is getting finished[/b]
Rappers who pretend to be tough are going to be killed/beat up/defeated in a rap battle. It's not really clear.
[b]What happened? You face defeat and we the winners[/b]
This is pretty self-explanatory, if not elegantly phrased
[b]Wicked with the lyrics in a minute you're diminished[/b]
They're good at rapping and will own you with their good raps (this bar is mainly meant to show off their ability to say a bunch of syllables that rhyme in a row)
I'm gonna skip the middle guy's verse because it's pretty easy to understand. He's talking about how he's a crazy psycho and kills everyone. And also cyborgs and stuff. And he stays braindead because he got bitten by a rat monkey. Or a rap monkey? I'm not sure. I don't know what that means.
[QUOTE=TedStriker;29463505]What's so horrible about him? Sure he looks like a guy who smoked a ton of crystal meth but his voice is awesome and that's the one thing which counts, isn't it?[/QUOTE]
His voice is pretty much identical to a million other white rappers, but that's not why he sucks. His flow is awkward and forced, his rhyme schemes are really simplistic, and his lyrics are awful. He doesn't say one single thing that is clever or cool.
Also notice how in his verse he's complaining about people saying he sucks and not talking to him at shows. Based on his performance on this song, that's probably a true story.
The best comparison I could make is that he sounds like a really slow and dumb eminem. eminem is good because of the way he pronounces shit, he almost spits it out, emphasis on the shit that needs it with great flow between, plus he just says stuff so damned fast without being jolted (at least for me). this guy just seems like he's stumbling through his words.
also vincent van go?
vincent van go fuck yourself third guy.
case in point

I lolæd over how you accuse someone of being racist with no evidence.

Notice how everyone agreed with me
I like the second guy, just sayin'.
The second guy has a pretty cool voice.
this is poo, grime mcs piss all over this. dubstep has its roots in garage and grime and grime is the same tempo. rap and dubstep are totally different tempos so it just sounds wank when they bastardise it and try and mix elements from it.
this is more like it:

seen p money live and he fucking smashes it over anything, grime tracks and dubstep.
the uploader has not made this video available in your country
I don't like dubstep and I'm not keen on rap.
I actually liked that for some reason though.
[QUOTE=Pruneyman;29478374]I don't like dubstep and I'm not keen on rap.

Because the second guy is cooler than everything known to man.
[QUOTE=TH89;29473195]Notice how everyone agreed with me[/QUOTE]
You of all people should know some facepunch users suck up to moderators.
The second guy reminds me of the evil dude from the Fifth Element.
I don't like those genres at all, but...
[highlight]THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME[/highlight]

Okay, got me!

Nontheless this is a stupid generalisation. Take this as an example:

Also please listen to other stuff from Pete Philly & Perquisite and other european rappers. Many of them aren't even in a need to copy someone because they have their own style.
[QUOTE=TH89;29452982]Mixed feelings about this, the video and beat are awesome and the first two guys are pretty good (even though the first guy has that really annoying hubris typical of non-American rappers and the second guy has a worse haircut than Yelawolf and might be a nazi). The third guy is fucking horrible though, and looks like Steve Buscemi.
[img_thumb]http://whatever-dude.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/steve-buscemi.jpg[/img_thumb]
The best part is when he's like "the whole planet shifted" and everyone falls down.[/QUOTE]
Love when people talk about an artists personal views, race, religion, etc. THIS DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER, if they make good music they make good music, though I've heard better than this.
[QUOTE=McNab;29453021]nigga nigga nigga
That's all I hear in songs like these, explains very well why I dislike the genre.[/QUOTE]
Racist prick.
At first it was shit, the guy rapping for like 10s sounded like he had to be quiet, half whispering.
But it's pretty nice afterwards.
This is amazing.
The first guy looks like Zero from Holes. His was the best imo. The other two guys verses were alright, they just felt kind of uncreative. I think the video makes this worth it, if the video didn't exist i probably wouldn't have listened to the whole song.

I don't know man, I think he looks more like zorg from Fifth Element.

this is great. i love the beat and video.
the second guy's voice is really awesome.
Usually I hate rap, but this is good. I guess that's because I've only ever listened to mainstream rap. I'm not trying to be a hipster faggot, but the way I see it, rap was never really supposed to be mainstream, and all the mainstream rap is nigga nigga pop a cap in yo ass. But this is good.
[editline]30th April 2011[/editline]
I think the first guy was the best.
Oh look it's the 2 genres I dislike merging into 1.
I honestly didn't like the second person, but I agree that the third guy was definitely the worst.
