Raekwon similies that make no sense

[-The A to the Z-]

Ghost has never said this. The Ghost interviews ive read he normally says he knows what he meant at the time, but he doesnt store it, he just spits it at the moment.

Ghostface, from an AllHipHop interview, 2007:


''Ghostface Killah: “Cobra Clutch” was abstract, an abstract joint. People get me twisted and sh*t. See I created a style when I did “Nutmeg” and “One” and all the other sh*t. I was in Africa and I was like, “Yo I’ma make a rhyme not meaning nothing.” Just put words together but what the sentence might mean, might not got nothing to do for nothing. I did it on “Nutmeg” and I the first verse on “One” and all the other sh*t. People started getting me confused. Like, “Damn I don’t know what he’s talking about.” But it wasn’t meant for you to know what I was talking about cause it was just a style that I created. So people f*cked around and got caught. Yeah, I don’t know what he talking about and this and that and a third.''

Raekwon always makes since.

My favorite similie from raekwon is from Presidential M.C.
"We rock mad ice like a walrus"

Raekwon looks like a Walrus.



You know it's true.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

One of my favorites - "under pressure, like Lou Ferigno on coke"

"first of all before we move on this shit is like a yukon don"

What doesnt make sense about that?

I think 95% of Raesimilies DO make sense.

[-The A to the Z-]

Apologies, young friend.

[J-DON]

What is like a Yukon and what does that mean?

[the silencer]

What is like a Yukon and what does that mean?

it's a big ass truck..

Rae makes tons of car references in his rhymes whether its Acura, Lexus, Range Rovers..

[zooruka]

One of my favorites - "under pressure, like Lou Ferigno on coke"
.

that line doesnt make sense to me...could you explain it to me....I know lou ferigno played the incredible hulk but how is someone under pressure like lou ferigno on coke... it would make more sense if raekwon said you under pressure like gettin squeezed by lou ferigno on coke.

but yeah could you please explain ???


peace

[J-DON]

But WHAT is like a Yukon?

It makes no sense in the context of the verse and its the first line. That always confused me.

[the silencer]

that line doesnt make sense to me...could you explain it to me....I know lou ferigno played the incredible hulk but how is someone under pressure like lou ferigno on coke... it would make more sense if raekwon said you under pressure like gettin squeezed by lou ferigno on coke.

but yeah could you please explain ???


peace

there's a similar line from Gza on Wu-Banga 101:

"My clan will make me rhyme like D. Banner under pressure"

Dr. David Banner was the Hulk's human alter ego on the old TV show...Lou Ferrigno played the actual Hulk (the diesel green guy)


if u can't figure out what they're tryin to say from that line then I can't help you..



also, J-Don about that Yukon line I dono if you're lookin for some heavy meaning for it..it's a ridiculously simple-minded line really---"THIS SHIT is like a Yukon" well what is "THIS SHIT"? who knows? he just wanted to bring up the brolic Yukon truck----that's what it seems like to me..

but there's also an area near Alaska known as the Yukon, so if u really wanna reach then maybe he's referring to that icey territory as a metaphor for 'ice' or jewels which are mentioned by Rae and Ghost constantly (especially in those days)..



but I just take it to mean his team, his movement, is like that big-ass GMC Yukon Denali truck...it's pretty basic

[Hollow Dartz]

Raekwon does make sense. This thread proves that half ya'll cat don't know what shit is (No disrespect). LOL A Yukon is a truck... Cascade is a cleaner....

[The Lost Prophet]

"Make rhymes move like retail make sure shit sale"

[Hollow Dartz]

You don't know what that means?????
