He gotta keep his pimp hand strong
as it has been suggested in studies that those with a dominant left hand may not live as long as their right-handed compatriots.

I read a paper on that
the premise was that the author's pimping hand had gone limp. He went on to suggest that he's a pirate, lost his booty, he's a pimp without a dog without a bone.

Step on stage and the crowd applauds
Hereditary position in the House of Lords
Cruise the fuckin' streets in an antique Bentley
Safe in my position in the landed gentry.

My style's unique, make you fraudz bleed
Old skool sneakerz made of Harris Tweed
Freshest pimp in the whole wide world because
You know another nigga with Adidas plus fours?

We need to find someone to lay down some phat beats
and this could be a hit

I wrote it for the beat of 'Sucka MC's' by Run DMC

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:56, Reply)

I thoguht about trying my own but the only beat I could think of was
fix UP look SHAAAARRRRP and I'm not sure it fits the Gentleman Rapper persona.

Apart from the bit about "staying true to his grammar"

That's one of the best beats ever and entirely appropriate
The original record is 'Big Beat' by Billy Squier, a rock classic in its own right:

Ooh thank you now I know the original track
Though I am quite ashamed to admit I only just found out that Can't Touch This used a sample.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 11:08, Reply)

I've done whole sets
of 'records you don't know, but know a tune that sampled it' before, smart-arse twat that I am.

You'll probably hate him
but Girl Talk are well worth a listen. My favourite album of his opens with a rapper talking about his bitch over the Spencer Davis Group. Fantastic. There have been many songs that I hear snatches off and then realise what they are from that.
