[Verse 1: Mad Rapper]
You D bag
You act like you’re seeing a ghost
Nope, it’s me OGM AD
And I’m still a beats
And the word on the street y’all
About to catch a bad boy
Tell them why you mad son
I’m on my jolly sheet
About to make a scene
You know a single beat
Nephew, nephew
I’m still getto
Rate on chef few
Might feel rock
Sorry I kept you
So let me reintroduce you
To myself
I’m the dude you should
Get-get used to
I’m back to the future
Back to booster
Back to the fen up before
The rooster
Backing them up
Back in the club
Back the love
Back to the gap and the gap
The mask and the glove
Head above
A dove whoever you think you love
Up at the top
I’m better than all of the above

[Chorus: Kanye West]
So Im’ma shoot my shot and just do it
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music
So Imma shoot my shot and just do it
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music
Still losing, still losing
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music

[Verse 2: Mad Rapper]
Right now I’m in
“don’t give a what” mode
I got hunch, I got a truck load
You better give love
I’m coming through like
I’m doing a 50 at the weigh in
Mad like you owe me some dough and not paying
Hurricane tough bringing the block
Hater they love it
Then that it goes down
We can’t stop
With the guns go blast
Slow down kid, you’re selling them?
Who you loving rap
I’m aces anyone of them
‘Cause the way I see it
It’s street and street it is
Ask who beat it is
Show’em how sweet it s
Mad Rapper trying to blow fast
Hide your tracks and your songs
Before long I’m
In your stash
I make mine taking your cash
Ain’t gonna lie, he got the time
Give me the past

[Chorus: Kanye West]
So Im’ma shoot my shot and just do it
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music
So Imma shoot my shot and just do it
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music
Still losing, still losing
Cause I can’t stop my love for the music

The Madd Rapper

The Madd Rapper is a character played by iconic Bad Boy producer Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie. His comedic skits are perhaps the most famous hip-hop interludes of all time, appearing on three blockbuster albums in 1997: Biggie’s Life After Death, Puff Daddy’s No Way Out, and Ma$e’s Harlem World.

The character is a parody of hardcore underground rappers who are mad at Bad Boy because of their massive crossover success. In the skits, he’s a guest on a talk show where he vents about Biggie, Puffy, and Ma$e, and coins the catch-phrase “I'ma tell you why I’m mad!”

A Madd Rapper album, Tell ’Em Why You Madd, was released in 2000 on D-Dot’s Crazy Cat Catalogue label through Columbia Records. The album featured an Eminem verse and six songs produced by D-Dot’s young protegé, Kanye West. The Madd Rapper also appeared on 50 Cent’s 1999 debut single “How To Rob.”
