[shaolin swords]

thats cool. What song is that in?

[Create]

Man Iwas Just Hearing This Tooo


I Think Its

Hip Hop Fury

[crass]

the song he says all that shit on is "beneath the surfacE"

[oldie]

hey's basically tellin wack MCs that they're shit is not authentic, its man-made... they can't figure 8 twice, which is 16, the 16 bars or rhymes that he is droppin

now i know why he's the genius. shit like dat is str8 over my head, unless its laid down in laymans (spelling) terms like that. thnx m8, that line is fire now i know what it means.lol. what song is it off???

[My First Timbs]

Actually you misquoted the Genius he says

"On a man made lake, theres a sheet of thin ice/ WHere unskilled skaters CUT FIGURE 8's TWICE/ Thats 16 uncut....."

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

[FATALGHOST]

Exactly

[LordReveal]

Beautiful Beard is right, but I aslo like Thalassi's interpretation. either way, shit's hot. The Genius is THE nigga.

thats what i thought, the "uncut.." part, made me think of drugs, cocaine, whats the next line ??

[Lesbian Nun]

couldn't figure 8 twice

[father04]

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?

[father04]

72 is in the world in general but I think hes talking about life in the ghetto. It would all make sense no ???

the point is, it proves that Gza is a pure lyricist...point made and nobody can challenge that
