Rap Scholar (feat. Redman) Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, who it is son?
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
(Check it out)
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out, everybody, everybody

Yeah, yeah
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
(Check it out)
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out

Aiyyo, my dogs hold heat control the whole street
And when it's time to bust they don't get cold feet
You know it's me 'cause some say the boat rocker
Big Mac not the whopper peace to Big Poppa

The show stopper, like Salt-N-Pepa, rhyme wrecka
Friggidy front on this, I won't letcha
I better catch ya, stiggidy straight out the blue
Diggidy Das EFX, Redman, comin' through

We biggidy bubblin', like some bubbly, lovely
But what trouble be, findin' me, kid he cover me
I represent my ground, so yo, what up now?
Non-believers hatin', what the fuck now?

Buck town kid, you can get struck down for that shit
The mack spit, accurate, make your back split
Sewer rats get a lotta, cheese like ricotta
The three man team, the rap scholars

New York, everybody, Cali, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out everybody, everybody

D.C., everybody, overseas, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out

Aiyyo, it's the rap scholar, hot around the collar
Pack a blaka-blaka, since I was a toddler
Drama, the nine-seven nigga Madonna
Reptile texture be the blood of an iguana

Sick, dick about nine inch thick
I make a fo'-twenty Benz-o look like a six
First of the month I got the bundles for the wick
My hands big as a catcher's mitt when I brick

Sucker MC's who did not learn
If you don't this time, from coast to coast
I'm ' The Dark Ranger', call me Don Punanna
So hot, my chewing gum flavor's enchiladas

You can tell, I don't give a fuck
Deliver the cold to the place that shiver the erictor
Fuck you and the ship you came on
While you sit around bitchin' I get my bangs on

East coast, everybody, West coast, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out

Up North, everybody, down South, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out

Biggidy-Bingo, bangle, bust how the slang go
Change up the angle, now who wanna tango?
Click-clack, get back, Dunn, let me rip that
Spit that, flip that, shit to push your wig back

You showboatin', get your whole frame broken
Found floatin', somewhere in Hoboken
No jokin', jump out the Benz bubble
Pull out the pound and bust a round in your huddle

Spent a lot of ghetto days learnin' ghetto ways
Learn the ins and outs of ghetto trades still searchin' for a better way
Niggidy-never stress it though, keep it come and go
Trust me if it's runnin' low, my mic still the gunner yo

Facin' towards what's mine, so throw your hands in the air
'Cause of the rhyme, auto-nine, up against your spine
Blow your spot up, ' cause yo, I gotta get this ricotta
The three man team, the rap scholars

New York, everybody, Cali, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler
Check it out

D.C., everybody; overseas, everybody, c'mon
It's the rap scholar here to make a dollar
Try an' follow guaranteed to make ya holler

The duo “Das EFX” emerged in 1991 from the well-established East Coast Hip-Hop scene. The group is composed of Willie “Skoob” Hines and Andre “Krazy Drayz” Weston. With their first album “Dead serious” released in 1992, the group creates a mini-revolution by using an ultra-fast rap associated with funky beats. The album was a commercial success. The following year, Das EFX released their second LP “Straight up Sewaside", “Hold it down” in 1995, and “Generation EFX” in 1998. Their last album was "How We Do" which was released in 2003.
-----------
Das EFX's wildly playful, rapid-fire stuttering -- dense with rhymes and nonsense words -- was one of the most distinctive and influential lyrical styles in early-'90s hip-hop. While the duo completely rewrote the MC rule book, they themselves were increasingly pegged as a one-dimensional novelty the longer their career progressed, despite watching elements of their style creep into countless rappers' bags of tricks. Krazy Drazyz (born Andre Weston; Teaneck, NJ) and Skoob (born Willie Hines) were both raised in Brooklyn, but didn't begin performing together until they met at Virginia State University in 1988. Removed from an active music scene, the two were free to develop their most idiosyncratic tendencies; they started making up gibberish words (anything ending in "-iggity" was a favorite) that added loads of extra syllables to their lines, and wove plenty of pop-cultural references into the tongue-twisting lyrical gymnastics that resulted. Das EFX caught their big break when they performed at a talent show judged by EPMD; though they didn't win, EPMD was impressed enough to offer them a deal, and the duo became part of the Hit Squad crew of protégés.

Signing to the East West label, Das EFX began work on their debut album, commuting between Virginia and New York and mailing tapes to EPMD (then touring the country) for guidance. Upon its release in 1992, Dead Serious caused an immediate sensation, and is still considered something of a landmark in hip-hop circles. The first single, the instantly memorable signature song "They Want EFX," was a Top 40 pop hit and a Top Ten R&B hit, and helped push sales of Dead Serious past the platinum mark. Wary of being pigeonholed by repeating themselves, the duo slowed down their lyrical flow and downplayed the surrealistic side of their interplay on the follow-up album, 1993's Straight Up Sewaside, which went gold. Around the time of 1995's disappointing Hold It Down, Das EFX found themselves caught in the middle of EPMD's ugly breakup; it led to a three-year absence from recording. By the time they returned in 1998 with Generation EFX, the group was playing more to a devoted but narrower cult audience; they have remained largely silent since.
