I can't believe people in the comments call this gibberish?!?! It is not, they are lyrically taking bits and pieces of Pop culture from the 70s and 80s and making it into a song about themselves, taking bits of shows and commercials like Sampling but with words from old TV. GENIUS

[@Freewarrior2]

Yeah. If people read the lyrics that they provide here, you can tell they're not speaking gibberish. I'm picking up on stuff now that I didn't get when this was first released. A lot of it goes over people's heads.

[@mollistan]

@@Freewarrior2 If you're old enough you don't need to read the lyrics. lol

[@Freewarrior2]

@Molly M. when they came out I was only 14 years old. Many of the references you may understand, but there are some that, as you grow older, there are other you pick up on. Most people hear the pop culture references, but in the middle of that they're throwing bars, left and right. That's why having the lyrics on hand are useful, especially regarding their style of rap. It's similar to Twista.

[@wrighthandyman]

Theses brothers brought a whole new feel to hip hop when they came out. They were what we called DOPE back then

[@Puschit1]

They may have been among the first but to say nobody can emulate this is just wrong. There are plenty of examples, both old and new. The Fu-Schnickens for example entered the scene at the same time as Das EFX and rocked the same style and word acrobatics, just faster. And recently - do you know this guy who calls himself "Rap is a Martial Art" ?

The flow between references to hip-hop culture, current events, historical, pop-culture, contemporary, and literature is INSANE. Every time I listen to this stuff (going on 30 years now...) I hear something that I missed, forgot, or was just too young to comprehend. I miss the days when our musicians were not just mere puppets of the industry, but actual developers of new forms of expression. Exposing mankind to their perspective and life experiences without being beholden to some cookie-cutter persona of what a rapper, rocker, or even pop-star should "be like".
