Money earnin' concernin', I'll be teachin' and learnin'; Gettin' high from my rhymes and my looks, Not from bourbon. No solution, no remedy, No cure. Like a deodorant, Yo, you have to be Sure That if you talk up or walk up into my face, That you wouldn't become a big public disgrace, 'Cause I'll ban you, burn you up, and tan you, Treat you like the elephant And man you will be hocked and locked in a jar with a lid, Hangin' on a wall in Michael Jackson's crib.
In fact, I'm a thriller. I drink milk, that's why I'm a top biller. Like a funeral home, I'll make a killing. I'm not Giz even though I'm still chillin'. Guys say I'm scary. Girls say I'm cuddly, Rough like bark, but dark and lovely. A homo is a no-no, but you know I'll smack a faggot. Boy, you got to see me, I'm rich like Jimmy Swaggart! I'm a loon; and ya know comin' soon: A rhyme kicked to this Popeye tune.
This is hip-hop with a little be-bop, And I won't flop 'cause I can't stop. At first you'll just notice it's set to a different drum break.
It's cool The piano riff is the same, oh and the LL sample isn't used here. But once he gets to the Popeye line, the Popeye theme music kicks in on a keyboard that sounds like it's on a xylophone setting. And it's not just there for that line bar, like a back-drop punchline to his lyric; they keep the Popeye tune going, and it comes and goes through-out the song!
And they also add a funky, new bassline that compliments it. It may sound a bit crazy, but then you have to remember this is the 80's, and people like Fresh Gordon and The Kartoon Krew were throwing little cartoon and sitcom ditties into rap songs all the time.
I can't count how many times I've heard "Mary Had a Little Lamb" used in an otherwise very hard, street old school rap joint. It's kind of a time-honored hip-hop tradition - albeit a damn silly one - and it works if you can get past how corny it is that they're using Popeye music.
There's also a Crib Mix on side B, which is more of a house version, with a much more dance-oriented beats, stuttered vocal samples, synths and longer periods of extended instrumentation. It's also got some new Chubb lyrics, though, so be sure to check that out. He re-performs most of his lyrics as brief couplets or single lines. But he mixes in a bunch of new stuff, too. It's way more Club-y though. In fact I wonder if it isn't possible that the 12" here is a bit mislabed, and the funky mix with the Popeye tune is actually the Crib Mix, and this dance version is the Chubb Club Mix co-produced by Scotti-D this one also sounds removed from Howie's style, unlike the other one, which makes me think it's Scotti's work.
That's certainly my suspicion. This 12" wraps things up with two "bonus beats. Howie's Beat is basically the Radio version with slightly tweaked percussion. And Bonus "PE" Beat is a more stripped down mix of the version with the Popeye theme that's the "PE," in case you're feeling a little tired but with even more of it and it also only lasts the duration of the first verse.
It's the only version that makes sense with the lyric, and I can understand why they would feel that if they were going to push this as a major single that they should beef up the hardcore sounds and nix the cartoon music. I'm sure the album and video version will always be the primary "Ya Bad Chubbs" in our hearts Summertime Anthem. Summertime Anthem - BPM. Berlin - "Masquerade" - BPM. Pure Energy " - BPM.
