an overseer was a slave put in command by a slave master to watch over the other slaves: hence, the name OVERSEER. many slaves considered the overseer just as bad or even worse than the slave master because he was one of their own that was forced in a way to be a slave driver against his own people. overseers used to get punished by the slaves whenever there was a revolt....just some interesting info i learned in a class in college a couple years ago.......

lol... welll its kinda ironic..
1) on the quotes thing....
The Snoop one... i equate that to "looking and learning will give u experience".. its all about watching and be patient.
The Gangstarr one.. is a joke.. i just like it coz my nick's in there.
2) on the slave thing....
if u make slave -> 'fan' .. we're all fans.. i'm elevated and expected to know/have/do certain things... but i'm just another person... i'm not an overbearing admin (read : master/slave driver). yet ppl are first to diss me when shit goes wrong.. even if i havent done a thing... so what you said is kinda ironic

btw.. I just realised.. (since I heard someone play this in the club I was in tonight.......)
Now here's a likkle truth
Open up your eye
While you're checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word "overseer," like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example Overseer Overseer Overseer Overseer
Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer! Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off patroling all the nation
The overseer could stop you what you're doing
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!
