The joint tackles the subject in today hip-hop culture asking folks are you an "emcee" or are you a "rapper". We can all agree there is a difference between a Rakim and a MC Hammer, a Vanilla Ice and a KRS-ONE.
lyrics
(Announcer):Hear ye, Hear ye come one come all
Have a listen, check it out..
So What's the question ..Are you and emcee or a rapper?
Would you do it for the money or be like the Blast Master
KRS(ONE ) because Knowledge Reins Supreme
In a pool of other fishes trying to swim main stream
So What's the question yeah you gotta ask yourself
Would you do it for the love, no money, fame or wealth?
When your hiphip done flip flopped, flap, fluke and busted
You put your hammer pants on saying you can't touch this
But now your a gangster a hustler , a pusher
Carrying weight in 08 yo, nobody ever knew of ya
Stop ya lying, nobody's buying,
You're a too cool fool and nobody's smiling
Your facade and fakeness found in your imagery
With no substance cheerly just gimmickry
Video stage, turn the page the next chapter
Two for ya crew and gave us a good laugh
Keep it true might I add with the suggestion
,but on the real though I'm just saying...what the question.
(Announcer): And now ladies and gentlemen, for your listen pleasure and
Entertainment U-George
(U-George)
What's the question..Have you learned ya lesson to emcee
Hold the mic to gain entry in this fraternity
Step on stage spit right out the memory
With no page I battle enemies in front of me
Hmmm the ? mark remains emcees dissapear like they David Blaine
A mind freak, you so unique but you rhyme weak
Trust me, in a battle you turn the other cheek
I an't got swag I just got tag
On the wall where I played hand ball at
Block parties give me the mic I handle that
Little tike Puma sneaks with a Kangol hat
Now I'm waiting on your answer ya loving this art form
and for the industry your playing the part for
Dont get mad , just hit the pen and the pad
Go ahead ask your Dad (fool!!!)..What's the question!?
(Announcer): Yes, yes yes the question has been answered are you an emcee or are you a rapper? In today's day in time there is a difference....the question remains.
Jonny's production notes:
The hardest track to produce on the EP. The record the main sample comes from has vocals all over it, I had to slice tiny portions from many different parts of the tune to make the basic instrumental groove. I tried 3 or 4 times to get the heavily swung feel right. Ollie Teeba helped with the arrangement putting together the great outro.
