about

Anacron's offensive, in-depth, and somewhat hilarious (because it's true) interpretation takes Jay-Z's controversial single 2 steps further. Often referred to as "better than the original", this track is the bluntly honest critique that today's hip hop scene desperately needs.

lyrics

CHORUS
This is anti-everything
I'm in the cut
Lames leeching off me got me looking like, "what?"
Stealing my style, my stagger, my strut
Marks Danglin' Offa Anacron's nuts (D.O.A.)
Danglin' Offa Anacron's nuts (D.O.A.)
Peanut Gallery affiliates is killing it
but the rest are Danglin' Offa Anacron's nuts

This is anti-autotune, Gallery grotto goon
Anacron doesn't need it when he's got to croon
I said it first fool, way before Jay
I tuned out autotune since the first play
Misplaced distaste in the worst way
when them thirsty writers started biting T-Pain
Peep game, we came to cream lames
Freeze frames in the Gallery; PG Gang
This DJ was outright buggin
when every other verse on Digiwaxx jacked a plug-in
This ain't Plug-Tunin as described by the vets
kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet
From De La to Rakim, I rock more sets
Keep your CPU, I sing with Gallery Quartet
Auto-tune's gone, ka-boom, moving on
D.O.A., rest in peace, blessings, Deacon Anacron

CHORUS

This is anti hipster, I'm screaming D.O.H. like I'm Homer
Turning trend-takers to organ donors
I rock originals while these busters are sporting cloners
I was banging beats before they birthed their first boner
Mohawk, tight tees, tight jeans
Clowns claiming styles I adopted in the 90's
Originality inspired by the punk rockers
Rocking punks when they were dipped in baggy dockers
Fool, I remember when you first hit the scene
I was international when you were still a teen
Breaking (braking) like stop-signs, cutting like guillotines
I got the press co-sign and the iller queens
You took the easy route to fulfill your dreams,
drained how I did it just to change up your image
Respect where you ripped it
Swagger-biting blips, tight jeans and sneaks - copyright '96

CHORUS

This is anti-idiot, a ban on buffoonery
Death to the jiggaboo, 'Cron's counter-coonery
Soon to be famous step-and-fetch musical genius
Near millionaires that barely speak and read English
This is America, This is Black culture
twisted by capitalistic art vultures
Why every brotha in the spotlight can't event talk right?
Writing about wrongs and the kids aint getting taught right
Dance step rappers, new-school flunkies
Honkeys think it's funny when you're jumping around like monkeys
House niggers, Uncle Toms making hip hop
Aunt Jemimas on the set in bikini tops
While the slave master hollers, "shake it faster"
I'm embarrased, don't know where it's going to stop, but it has to
Dummies on blast, ignorance is bliss
You ought to be ashamed when the bumpers blast this
