about
The Swamps of South Florida and Desert Mountains of New Mexico have combined their distinct Hip Hop dialects to bring us NATIVE SLANG, the Duo of 8CH2OWENS, and EKYM1536. Their first Single NO SUBSTITUTES featuring Boise Idaho's OSO NEGRO, gets us ready for "Back To School" season as they hold a workshop on wordplay and mic wreckage. The smooth low rider funk production of the U.K's MUTE SPEAKER makes this a lesson worth listening to over and over again, and Miami's DJ PROOF cuts the wax up to a close, making us "Mad that the Class Was Dismissed".
Stay tuned for more from NATIVE SLANG as they prep the underground for their debut album "NATIVE SLANGUAGE" dropping this Fall.
lyrics
Ekym Vers:
Professor Slow & Steady,
we'll get started when yall ready_*
Rhyme in any form or fashion,
when you master what your crafting*
-Add a lesson, couple segments, timing, etiquette of choice*
Depending on ya influence, & habitat you voice*
_relax with the malarkey, karama knows how hard ya bars be*
Q(ue) the smoke, feed ya folks, praise the peeps that think ya dope*
-high times & there’s lows, under toe ya beaching flow*
MeMoRiZe a thousand times, to MeSMeRiZe all doubting minds*
_kill the klout & bring out, w/skills thats iLL, & bleed em out*
Juggala smuggla, swarray just to smother ya*
-scream in ya face like rick flayer throwing 'W's*(wuTang)
Side kick, barney Rouble you_,
how live shows could trouble you*
_IF YOU Cant Control the Crowd, how do u OWN what your about?*
Falangies up, dollaz up, on the line, blue collar tux*
-cheF'n soul, a la mode, on my own, or with the bros*
So get it right or pass the mic, No rebounds when you AfterLife**
Hook
__The wack, need to take 10 steps back*
Those who are down, gather round, get a pound*
-cools kids, we'd like to welcome you back to school kids*
The profess is present, ant no substitutions**
8ch Verse:
The Funk Pharmacist
Dispenser of the trauma lift
From the city of sunshine
Where the Drama lives
Where model bitches more vindictive than Karma Is
My Word Playground's hazardous
The Bars'll harm your kids
I'm Awe Inspiring this Graffiti on Wall Art
People see you and keep walking
Thats a DVD at Walmart
The center of my opps heart is where my Target Is
You GPSing where the nearest target is
The difference is evident
Your opinion irrelevant.
Your minions tremble in terror
When Uncle 8ch enters in
I'm entertainment at its finest
I ain't your Honor I'm your Highness
You a plaintiff that's defenseless
Pitcher of the Plus Signs
But quick to hand out Minuses
Subtract suckers who aint in line with this
Shit ain't adding up
That bullshit in your hard drive ain't worth backing up
You clown niggas ain't IT
got me cracking up
Hook:
The wack need to take 10 steps back
Those who are down gather around
get a pound
Cool kids
We'd like to welcome you back to school kids
The Pro Fessors Presents ain't no Substitution
Oso Negro Verse:
Manhandle beats over Panhandle heat/
Blessed when fam samples eats from my hand scrambled feast/
Take risks with whisks, never bake a dish tasteless/
Wrist whips weightless, no chain or bracelet/
Unfettered, with newly sprung feathers/
So fly, take flight -four beers on a paddle/
A chip off the ol' smoothness, rough rudeness/
File us under diamond mine, trust dood, we cut grooves/
With mad inclusion -birthmarks of burst hearts/
Work art til we earth part- Later bro!/
Throw a random sample of a piano in to stimulate/
Simulate a skater pro, in the state of gatorrrrrrs/
GO-back to class with some classics, cadillac/
Southern funky music for your trunk, here to rattle/
That’ll cause a sudden movement in your junk, don’t mind that/
Ekym, 8Ch2Owens, oso negro, bet rewind that/
