INITIALLY COOL

My name is R.C. and I’m the bad rap reviewer/I cut down all these bums, I’m a reputation-skewer/You may think this is bullshit but I know I’m good/I’m the baddest rap reviewer in my neighborhood/And if this bragging bugs you I’m just staying true to form/’Cause if your rap ain’t boasting you're not keeping up the norm.

L.L. COOL J

Bigger And Defter (Def Jam)

My name is R.C. and I’m the bad rap reviewer/I cut down all these bums, I’m a reputation-skewer/You may think this is bullshit but I know I’m good/I’m the baddest rap reviewer in my neighborhood/And if this bragging bugs you I’m just staying true to form/’Cause if your rap ain’t boasting you're not keeping up the norm. (break)

I know y’all got questions, it’s plain to see/Uke is this rap thing for real or just a novelty/’Cause these rap guys can't sing and like to act like an asshole/But people think they’re cool if they mention White Castlel/Like take the Boys Beastie, the ones who are Caucasian/Some think they're garbage-mouths, others think they're Rabelaisian/They're slobs, they’re yobs, but they stir up the mobs/ They're riding high for now (hope they keep their day jobs)/Or consider the dilemma of Run-D.M.C./Seems they gotta hang with white boys just to stay on MTV/But they’re better than the Beasties or at least they’re more substantial/'Tho good and bad don’t cut it where the measure is financial.
