Busting Up Bad Rap Tapes

lyrics: A8: Busting Up Bad Rap Tapes (1:30)
(Look out!)
Busting up bad rap tapes/Flipping hip hop pancakes/Take a taste, goodness sakes/Not fake, it won’t go to waste
Pop open the case to the hard shell plastic/A backspin dismantle this cassette tape faster/Ain’t got a screwdriver I’ll use wrist twist action/Pull out the brown spools unattract the magnet/In fact it’s more useful to seal this package/Made less music then than it does as a wrapping/Brown paper envelopes tied up with tape/This is a way I don’t let whack rap go to waste/Cos take an honest look, does that album got power? Does it have shelf life? No that dip’s gone sour/Now yer realizing we’re all not cowards/Not bullied to buy dropping beats not pound notes/How dope? My album has found them unfounded/Astounded the sound is lo-fi but louder/Yrs sounds good but good sounds increasingly clouded/I’m grabbing a handful to bring to the counter/The store’s got no need for them 10 for a quarter/So now I’ll commence to dissemble reorder/Re cut up, remake a new mix from this batter/Putting new life into hip hop’s cadaver (that is to say, hip hop isn’t a cadaver, but it has dead tapes that need to be sliced ‘n’ diced to be revived in a new creation)
