He refering to the ice skating manuvoure of skating in a figure of 8 or an infinity symbol. If they do it twice then it should equal a 16 (2x8= 16) and then he refernces the 16 bars (of uncut or "raw" lyricism) hes dropping.
Basically unskilled or wack emcees just drop to half ass verses (2 8's) instead a full blow dope verse (a full 16 bars) or perhaps repeat themselves (8's twice) to full the verse.
bingo.. this is the tru interpretation

Re: Can some explain this math to me
I WOULD BREAK IT DOWN LIKE THIS
On a man made lake there's a sheet of thin ice
Where unskilled skaters couldn't figure 8 twice
it just mean that mankind created a world where it can be very hard to make it to 16 years old.

dont mean to shit on ur interpretation cause its better than whut i could do but aint the average age that people live to like 72 years old?
Re: Can some explain this math to me
72 is in the world in general but I think hes talking about life in the ghetto. It would all make sense no ???
