I've always wondered this about Redman's verse on All Eyez On Me.  They say he's such a dope lyricist and everything but I what the hell was he talking about in his verse on All Eyez On Me.  I didn't catch any of his metaphors, it all went totally over my head and maybe somebody can explain to me what is dope about it.  His flow was ill, and it sounded good anyway because it was such a great song.. but it made no damn sense.  Infact, nobody's lyrics were really that dope on the song.  It sounds rushed, but 2pac had the midas touch at the time so it still worked somehow.

First Daz spits a lazy rhyme and ends it with...

"for me to put down my guard, I'm faced with it, I'm a ride
breakin in gas with the six-eight all day
In and out with my pay
I'm soon to count the bodies..."

...first of all, it doesn't rhyme, and second of all, what does "soon to count the bodies mean".  So he's gonna come back and count the bodies he killed after a robbery?  I don't get it.

2pac spits a nice verse, his metaphor about "put that ass in the dirt, you'd swear the bitch was planted".. and his reference to Janet Jackson was touching.. but then he finishes by just biting Rakim, which is okay, we will call it a compliment, or a tribute to Rakim, no big deal.

"Yo, two years ago, a friend of mine
Told me Alize and Cristal blows your mind
Bear witness to the dopest fuckin rhyme I wrote
Takin off my coat, clearing my throat"

I guess Kurupts verse was pretty dope, but I did always wonder.. who the hell is Jason Vorhees?

...then the Jews at the Interscope label like Jiimmy Iovine allow black rappers to say all the worst about other blacks but they edit Method Man for saying

"like Hitler
Sticking up (Jews)
with German lugars"

..anyway, pretty dope verse...


..now we come to the Redman verse... could someone explain these lines...

-"Non-believers get my dick and genitals backwards"  (?)

-"With, this underground cannabis
I'm dangerous like John the bomb analyst"   (?)

- "Then proceeds like keys
My degrees freeze consecutively like EPMD LP's"

- "Lick off a shot and hit ya fam by mistake
So I erase the whole front row at the wake
I planned my escape in case jake or a snake bust it
I'm the one pushin the hearse in the first place"   (?)

"Pump for Rockafella for the day he got smoked
choke, off this anecdote got you ope"   (?)


..the only part of his whole verse I get is the part about blowing out till the ears pop and the few lines that proceeded it.  Anyway, always wondered about this track.

Well, Jason Voorhees is the hockey masked killer in all the Friday the 13th movies.  So that line makes sense.  The rest I can't really help you on.

well.. it's only Redman's verse I was confused with... and then the Jason Vorhees line only sounded strange to me because I didn't know who he was.  I actually thought it was a character in the Steven Seigal movie "Under Siege" for a long time.. lol

Does it really matter that much man?I mean, it's a classic track and redman sounds insane on it if you ask me, he just rips it along with everyone for that matter.And to answer your question I think every line has it's meaning, like that rockafella one, where he reffers to that skit and song on his dare iz a darkside album

The song is poorly edited from the original.  When 2Pac's verse was put in part of Daz's verse was cut.  His last line said, "And soon to count the bodies laid."

The original No Vaseline that was released on Ice Cube's AmeriKKKaz Most Wanted was not edited.  The one released by Death Row on Death Row's Greatest Hits was the one that was edited.

No.. it doesn't matter much more than anything else we talk about in this section of the forum.


I mean, it's a classic track and redman sounds insane on it if you ask me, he just rips it along with everyone for that matter.And to answer your question I think every line has it's meaning, like that rockafella one, where he reffers to that skit and song on his dare iz a darkside album


Okay.. well that explains that part.  Props.

Jews own almost every major record label.  Jimmy Iovine owns Interscope.  Jerry Heller owned Ruthless.  Clive Davis owned Bad Boy/Arista/J Records.  Lyor Cohen owned Def Jam.  Steve Rifkind owned Loud Records.  And Jews also own Viacom which owns MTV and which has also owned BET since around 1999 when a black man, Robert Johnson, sold out (which is stupid because how are you going to have a Black Entertainment Television station when your station is owned by Jews).

Which is another part of the song that didn't really make sense.  Just throwing Inspectah Deck at the end of the song to say... "this.. this.."

lol.. yeah, Daz verse just sounds like it fades out or something like he wasn't available to fix it when they were mixing it down.. even though he's the one who produced it.. lol
