If you don't gave a damn gon' throw it out
The window, up against the wall!
Up against the wall, Laugh when the motherfucker fall
These fools can't rap at all
I never buy your tune from The Neptune
When they beat come on I hope it go off soon
Fabolous? What's Fabolous about it?
I think you terrible, music unbearable
Ripping off Ma\$e
With that look on his face
Aw man, I rest my case
Kelis, wow
I hate her so much right now
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard"
Who gave her a record deal? Oh my God!
Nas is in the video with Kelis
Jay-Z is in the video with Beyonce
Both of these rappers are wack
Yet people talk smack about forty Belafonte
The music industry is using the slang
And try to play it off like they doin' they thang'
Come on. Cam'ron
Oh boy Oh boy Dipset Dipset Oh boy Oh boy
How can you be from a city so black?
And bust shitty lyrics that Whick Whick Wack
Get back on Kelis

Get on your knees, face me
I got a milkshake for you and it's tasty
Just like your album

How can your group be called 'Da Band'
Nobody plays an instrument man
I don't play B2K
R&B singers Be Too Gay
You know they broke up over money
Oh yeah
That's too bad I don't Care
I think its good, no doubt
They can stop putting all that bullshit out!

A fuckin' job and a brand new hair weave
What a girl want, What a girl need
A fuckin' job and a brand new...

I know, Why is David Banner runnin' from The Clan?
What happened to the bitches man?
Hmm.. Cadillac on 22's
Why is David Banner taking off his shoes?
It's supposed to be about Cadillacs
Not David Banner bringing dead people back
Even though its all good
It might get misunderstood
Damn skippy Mississippi is the hood
Raps I'm writing up, I can't lighten up
Until these wack ass rappers tighten up
Missy Elliott thinks she looks like Halle Berry
That's scary
Her CD ain't worth it
Put your money in your pocket and reverse it
Her CD ain't worth it
Put your money in your pocket and reverse it

Missy Elliott makes a bunch of bullshit
Missy Elliott makes a bunch of bullshit
Missy Elliott makes a bunch of bullshit
Missy Elliott makes a bunch of bullshit
Missy Elliott makes a bunch of bullshit

Even with a weave, I can't stand Eve
Even with a weave, I can't stand Eve
Even with a weave, I can't stand Eve
Even with a weave, I can't stand Eve
Even with a weave, I can't stand Eve

I can't stand Eve, that's what I said
She got a pinhead
Most people head is round
Hers go up and down, like a peanut
She could be pretty
If her attitude wasn't so shitty
Talkin' about "Ya trying to come through the back do'"
She ain't got no back do' what she talking smack fo'?
Male bashing with Mary J
Like Queen Latifah she must be gay
In my radio you gets no play
Not today
What the fuck happened to MTV?
Why these wack people get to make a CD?
I don't know man, Look at 50 Cent
He don't move his mouth when he rappin' man
He be rappin' like Mike Tyson or something
He don't move his mouth

{Talks like 50 Cent}
Open Yo' Mouth!
...
'I'll teach you how to Stunt'
Teach me how to Stunt?
They need to let me teach em' how to roll a fat blunt
Get high, get drunk and take it easy
And stop making songs so cheesy!
Now Mannie Fresh is actually fresh
And Juvenile
I like his style
But the worst rapper I ever heard man
Is the wack ass motherfucking Birdman
What about Silkk the Shocker?
My name is Silkk and I'll shock you
I just been shocked by Silkk the Shocker!

Afroman

Joseph ‘Afroman’ Foreman began writing songs and handing them out to his friends on cassette while in the eighth grade. At 25 years old, he released his first album, 1999’s Sell Your Dope. Soon after, he moved from LA to Mississippi with the mission to ‘get away from competition and sell to actual people’, releasing his sophomore album Because I Got High in 2000 on T-Bones Records. Its title track, written hastily after a friend showed up and interrupted him on an ambitious day and insisted they instead get high, was the last song he had recorded for the album. Soon after, Afroman left the music business.

At the same time, the file-sharing software Napster – heavily used at the time to share and distribute music for free – was at its peak of popularity, and the album’s title track became popular with its users. Universal Records caught wind and signed Afroman to a six album deal and released it as a single on July 6, 2001.

“Because I Got High” immediately became one of the most-requested songs across the nation, growing even larger after syndicated morning radio show host Howard Stern began airing it regularly, helping to make it ‘the most requested song on the radio in the country’. Further boosting its popularity was its inclusion in the film (and soundtrack to) Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back and MTV’s eventual agreement to air a modified, less-controversial music video for the song. It peaked at #13 in the US, and topped the charts in ten countries overseas. Its album The Good Times reached #10 in the US.
