Wonder no more, ladies. Understand Rap is your dictionary to the black world we all wish we were a part of every time we set foot on a dance floor. Check it: (hahaha)
- Kanye West's Through The Wire - "thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael": Kanye is comparing the fearful, worried reactions people had after finding out he was in a car accident to the reactions people had when finding out Michael Jackson's hair caught fire on the set of a Pepsi commercial he was filming in the early 1980s.
- Vanilla Ice's Ice, Ice Baby - "chumps actin' nimble 'cause they're full of 8 ball": The "chumps" are quicker or hyped up because they are high on cocaine .
- Jay-Z Izzo - "H to the Izz-O, V to the Izz-A": he is spelling out Hova, short for J-Hova (Jay-Z's nickname for himself) which sounds like Jehovah (a name for God) because he is a God among rappers.
- OutKast Hey Ya - "Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbour": Let's have sex, I am someone you know well.
White boys can't really rap either. Except Eminem. And Flight of the Conchords.
