ON THE MIC I’M NUMBER ONE. I AM ALSO NUMBER TWO. BECAUSE BITCHES I’M THE SHIT.

This just came on the itunes playlist – holler at early 2007. I’m struck with how smirk-inducingly hot and how unforgivably shitty it is all at once. Did Freeway write Young Hot Rod’s lyrics? Cause there’s some kinna cute barbs in there, i.e. “My protection is goons with guns with condoms on the barrell,” but YHR sounds so unenthused, like his mom (50 Cent) just told him he couldn’t go outside before he cleaned his room (got on the mic). MOM (50) I AM SO SO SOOOO OVER IT. He even makes hype-ass Free sound bored. Maybe Sha or whoever produced this made them cut the vocal track at 8 am. Through his hungover, cotton-wrapped booze-headache, Young Hot Rod is thinking about how many girls dissed him last night at the club. Freeway, a non-drinker (devout Muslim) is thinking, “Sha, I didn’t mean EARRRLLY literally.” Also: “I could be reading the Qur’an right now. Instead I am wasting it in this booth with you bozos. Hot Rod, act like you care.”
