Hip-Hop-Tober: Dem Boyz

Artist: GIT f/ T-Weaponz, Shamrock, Trae Album: T-Weaponz - Just Begun / Dem Boyz 12" Song: Dem Boyz (Remix)

Disclaimer: this verse contains violent rhetoric.

Wammy's Verse (Listen)

I got a motherfuckin' bone to pick with The blow's a sick wit, the flow's a liquid You got a lot of balls to be going against it I rip the lipstick, from off the dipstick I'm lyrically charged than a battery dud Fuck around with Dub, that's a .44 stud When I roam through ya zone, in a 20-inch chrome I'm coming home for the dome and the throne I'm a do it every time I put a pen to the pad Motherfuckers soft as cotton and it's making me mad Candelabra on the table, and it's making me sad Lighten up, it's time you lovers got a kick in the nads Ema should've shut up with his gift of the gab Not another word, I'm a lift up a jab Spit it with the quickness of the fitness, when I'm in this, I'm in this Administer this 'til he packing the bags Coming from the west where we wreck the reckless Running with the rest where we rest the restless Pull up in a Lex, then we hit the Lexus Put 'em in the decks with the necks and necklace Purpose for the pump be to bump defenses Better make 'em jump or you jump the fences Wammy gonna give it hard as ever while you sever your center To makin' cents, but you making senseless

Fresh off their bilingual breakthrough banger "Mira Mira" from 2004, the triumvirate T-Weaponz went from teaching Spanish to territorial toughness with the hard hittin' headbanger "Dem Boyz." Released sometime in 2006, it's a heart-pounding bass-thumping street screwing cipher that east coast producer GIT Beats laced up beautifully, and is one of my favorite beats in all of rap music. It really does pull you in the minute you push play in your CD or cassette deck, like walking into a fight club and knowing your ass is gonna get handed to you if you're not knowin' your way around the ring.

Fans of the Latin Hip Hop network Pocos Pero Locos might be familiar with "Dem Boyz" because it was aired there first, but in a completely different version. The third verse was originally an IzReal solo which started with "I know my momma know" and finished off with different variations and uses of the word "supplies," which I thought was an absolutely awesome closing delivery from him. When "Dem Boyz" was re-released, it underwent a few changes:

The song now had four verses instead of three

IzReal's solo verse was replaced with a different one, this time sharing duties with Psalmz (who did not appear in the original)

To fit with the chorus's theme ("Don't go messin' with them boys from the south, from the south"), they brought in Texas rap legend Trae Tha Truth

In short, it's a remix. And it's this version that was used for coming up with the verse you see above. But I really wanted to hit it hard, portray the west side as one of the hardest in the region you didn't wanna go messing around with. Not only was it hard, it had to be fast and swift, so the approach ended up becoming a triple cadence affair, veering into Bone Thugs-N-Harmony territory. Let me tell you, it is not easy spitting fast; from my personal experience, the chances of fumbling a consonant or word increases heavily when you speed up the flow, especially for someone going toward 40 with a growing speech impediment. Even a few of the lines I originally wrote had to be changed for the betterment of my mouth.

The line "Fuck around with Dub, that's a .44 stud" comes from a scene in the 1992 martial arts comedy film 3 Ninjas. As they're heading home from their summer training, Grandpa's kids Rocky, Colt and Tum-Tum sing a bloody graphic rendition of "On Top Of Old Smokey." The ".44 stud" part in their camp ode was gold to me that I had to throw it in, but I needed to find a rhyme couplet for "stud;" all I had at the time was dud, as in battery dud. To say I was lyrically charged than a battery dud has to be one of the weirdest oxymorons I have ever written. And to close this topic off on a strange note, yes, .44 studs do exists, but they're used for welding.

Personally, I am very proud of this verse. The rhymes galore, the little puns here and there, the speedy flow, all this while trying to keep a straight face. It's very difficult to recite this in more ways than one, even now for me, but once you nail it down to a tee, you feel fully accomplished.

What Does Ema Mean? You're gonna see this word used a lot in my old verses. This was my attempt at trying to write Mexican-American in a short handed way. The consonant letter "M" has an English pronunciation while the vowel letter "A" (as in "ahhh") remains en español. It may sound as if I'm calling out a person named Emma, as in "Emma Frost" from Marvel's X-Men, but it is absolutely not the case. Part of doing retrospectives is to go through both the good, the bad and the ugly in an objective view that reads more like a reckoning. At the time of its conception, I thought the word "ema" was a great replacement for the standout words "cholo," "vato" and "ese," a noun that had no ties to gangs whatsoever. There will be a post when I get to further assess the origins behind the word, but now is not the time.
