about

This track is kind of a joke. When it was first released on Sunday 8/12/2012, it had been about two years in the making, perhaps three. It captured an incredibly bitter, jealous and negative anti-hipster frame of mind that I was in and turned that all of that negative energy into a club banger to be reckoned with. The lyrics contain many of my homegrown catchphrases/lingo that most of my friends are familiar with. The ad-lib lyric "I make my own tastes, hoe" is a reference to Northeastern University's Tastemakers music magazine, and it is followed by the irreverent inclusion of the line "Don't tase me, bro", of YouTube/meme fame. The chorus is a joke that I had been repeating to the tune of the chorus to Mariah Carey's 2009 hit song "Obsessed" off of her album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel for a couple years, and a friend of mine said I should turn it into a full song. The production is clearly inspired by the period in popular music preceding the current dance music period, where crunk-influenced songs with handclaps instead of snares were regularly making appearances in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Production-wise, I generally prefer hypnotic to hyphy. If you are offended in some way, I can only quote Theophilus London and say that I make music without anyone's permission. A clean version with the expletives warped will be appearing shortly.

lyrics

Reuben Walton: We in this mufuckah...
Verse 1: Errbody in the back of the club/sippin' mad Grey Goose™, gettin' real fucked up/smokin' mad bowls, rollin' up a couple blunts/gettin' real swole? tell me when you had enough/matter of fact, fuck that, we gon' sip that grain/got all your jaws dropped 'cause you ain't half as chain/you hipsters think you party? bitch you're wack and lame/we're here to represent the fuckin' 9-7-8, hoe
Chorus: Ain't nobody got it like me, ain't nobody swole/poppin' off the chain like me, y'all ain't really know (2x)
Verse 2: And we don't give a fuck how you feel/steady tellin' all you bitches just how to deal/you don't pop bottles? then go and pop a pill/either way, keep it movin', fuck up out my grill/I don't need your opinion and I don't need your reviews/So take it to the pulpit and quit preachin' from the pews/Damn, dead to rights, I'm an outsider/and we gonna see which one of these whores' mouth's wider/I'm speakin' for my people, not some muthafuckin' elitists/you actin' all righteous, but you bitches ain't even Jesus/It's plain for me to see that y'all the fuckin' lamest of heathens/what I be smokin' on, man, that's the dankest of species/and I don't need approval, 'cause I say it and mean it/many left the race 'cause this industry's plainly misleading/and I ain't hatin' on the classics, man I still bump the Beatles/so you can keep your tastemaking 'cause my niggas ain't need it
Chorus
Outro: (Vocalizing) I make my own tastes, hoe/don't taze me, bro/muthafucka, don't taze me, hoe/whatever gender you is, yo
