"When you really break it down youve only got 2 songs"
Who are they talking about???????? :confused:

[100% ILL]

Puff Daddy, Eminem Take your pick.

[Burnout18]

not them^ sucka Mc's in general

[BigManBillay]

who r they talking about into the whole song??? :confused:

[100% ILL]

I really feel as though they are talking about someone specific,just a theory. Lines like you used a corked bat to get those hits. You've been in the game,youre career was long,but when you really break it down you've only got two songs. Just a theory, but Eminem's career has basically flourished in the six years the Beastie's were away.

[Burnout18]

Em's got more then two good songs........ his real good stuff isnt even released on his album. The Way Am I AM and the 8 mile theme song are my fav from him. Then theres the shit he does with 50 to dis Ja rule, thats always funny.

[BigManBillay]

i dont think they are dissing em....cus he did have hit songs..more then 2....but i bet they r talking about 50...cus in the end he only has 2 songs

[Yeti]

All the 1 hit wonders. They all hang-out at Club Med and play volleyball with the Baha Men.

[BigManBillay]

no cus someone has 2 be ugly and have a bad face.....

[100% ILL]

"I Keep The Hot Sauce Hot,Not Mild and Weak It's Gonna Burn Your Mouth Until You Wet Your Beak.........Mabey He's talking abou The Bird Man Manny Fresh...lol :D I just think the Beastie Boys come out every few years with some of the craziest shit!! I remember when check your head first came out I was like What! I've really enjoyed them over the years. I mean who else raps about cheese!!!??? (y)

I need to be more clear or I will be on that beach with the Baha Men.

Yea i heard that, Em's comeback was good too

[quagmire]

The song is reffering to a type of mc, which is portraid as one fictional charecter.

[BigManBillay]

fred durst is from florida somewhere


He did in Jacksonville when he was a teen...but he was born in Gastonia, North Carolina.... and he also lived in San Francisco

[balohna]

[Loppfessor]

Goddamn you people are all retarded with your stupid lil theories and threads...I'm going back to Beastie Free

[D_Raay]

The "hampty-hamps" reference was referring to a pic of Puff Daddy on a snowmobile in the Hamptons.

[Uru-Nitro]

they are talking about theirselves... camon, non beastie fans only know fight for your right & sabotage.... 2 songs

[minton]

This is a common question. So common that we covered it in the FAQ (http://www.beastieboys.com/beasties.php). Anyway, the point is try and search the BBS before you post a thread - that way we won't end up with a heap of threads about the same thing.

[Mike Tattoo]

“This is a common question. So common that we covered it in the FAQ.”

Yeah, well all the FAQ instructs me to do is do a search in the forum which leads me back to this thread. Brilliant. You guys should work for the DMV.

Well, seeing as how a google on : “Beastie Boys Hey Fuck You Eminem” search leads back to this thread as well lets see if I can drop some more knowledge on the conversation

Eminem Loses Lyric Notebook
http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2000/11/0206.cfm
Thursday November 02, 2000 @ 05:30 PM
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

Missing: One notebook with a picture of Britney Spears on the cover. If found please return to Eminem.

The award winning rapper lost the notebook during a flight from Cincinnati to New Orleans last Friday (October 27). The notebook contains the lyrics for his upcoming D-12 side project. Eminem's publicist, Dennis Dennehy, said the songs haven't been recorded yet.

D-12 is a group of fellow Detroit rappers Eminem has known long before he found fame with his 1999 album, The Slim Shady LP. The group's first album is expected in March or April of 2001, but could be pushed back if Eminem can't find the lyrics to the songs.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the notebook are asked to call 1-888-311-4343 or send an email to found@eminem.com. A very generous cash award or a chance to meet him is being offered in exchange for the notebooks safe return

“You sold a few records but don't get slick
'Cause you used a corked bat to get those hits
You've been in the game, your career is long
But when you break it down you've only got 2 songs”

”Now talk about your face now don't get pissed
But I suggest you see a dermatologist”

Pretty weak and superficial dis.

Personally, I would have gone for the jugular.

Eminem is one of the biggest drama queens this side of Boy George. The guy fronts this “I don’t give a shit” attitude but talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. Truth is homeboy is one of the most hypersensitive divas EVER. He can’t take any kind of criticism without flipping out, and the guy goes after easy targets : pacifist Christians, boy bands, and Britney Spears. Fucking coward. Like it’s suppose to be our fault that you’re a closet klansman that has issues with women. Cracker, please.

Try being a kid growing up in Iraq or Afghanistan right now. Those kids have got a right to complain. You don’t.

And the guy is such a MTV whore. How many times can he mention Carson Daily, MTV, and TRL in his lyrics ? Seriously, the guy gave more free head to Carson Daily in his lyrics than any kind of Wall Street product placement team could ever have dreamed of.

So Em, if you’re reading about this (and we all know that you love to read about yourself) You just got a crippled grandma spitball thrown at you vis a vis your heroes (“I got into rapping because of The Beastie Boys”) in “Hey Fuck You”

What are you going to do about it ?

[TheBestNameEver]

If you ask me, no one really is being dissed on "Hey Fuck You". Think about the lyrics. It could be about almost anyone because the lyrics are so "loose" and general. There aren't really any rappers or anyone that the Beasties have a major beef (by major I mean they'd right an entire song about them) with right now. TT5B is a pure hip-hop album. What's a hip-hop album without a old fashioned diss track?

[AMC_The_Prince]

Yea i heard that, Em's comeback was good too


Comeback?!?!?!?! he hasnt been around long enough to have a comeback.

This is like the 3rd thread about the lyrics to HEY FUCK YOU........so to those of you that keep making the same one, go to the frequent post archive.....and hey fuck you.

[FAN of ADROCK]

i think that they took a lot of weaknesses from diff. rappers and threw them together to make a fake person for the song

[DeaconBlues]

Preach on Mike Tattoo. You hit the nail on the head about Eminem.

[LiveAtBrixton]

What about Lil' Jon. MC's are like clay pigeons and I'm shooting skeet

[goldboy288]

"Suckah MCs, it's me they're resentin'
in the animal kingdom we call it presentin'"

I think that's from HFU, but I haven't listened to the album in a bit...

[J-Syxx]

What about Lil' Jon. MC's are like clay pigeons and I'm shooting skeet
Yea, I definantly think some of it is a diss to crunk. "You only have 2 songs" literally describes those mother fuckers because all crunk songs are almost identical.

[johnny_ryall]

I talked to Mike the other night and asked him this very same question.

He told me that they are referring to the current state of mainstream hip hop how it has turned to absolute shit. I totally agree with him.

Whhhuuuuuuttt? Okkkkaaaaaaaaay? Yeaaaaaaaah!!

[T'Pau Skywalker]

:D Hey F* You too! Like stated 4 replies up, plugging in "dissed", etc in Advanced Search after scanning FAQ's, we're deposited here, Right Right Now Now :rolleyes: My curiosity's piqued 2!

"The idea is to keep the green alien landing craft from taking your humans from the ground and changing them into mutants. A mutant is very dangerous to you because he flies faster than you do and shoots at you."

(Anybody know what's this sampled from? Vaughn's "Flex"? Help me, Obi-wan-Kenobi)

[sethomas]

i dont think they are dissing em....cus he did have hit songs..more then 2....but i bet they r talking about 50...cus in the end he only has 2 songs


his career aint long. plus they sample him on the record.

[Silentpunk000]

It is They Might Be Giants. Well... if you disregard every line except the long career part and 2 songs. They have a song called number 3 which goes "I have just 2 songs in me, and I just wrote the third."

I honestly have no clue, but we've yet to see a dis track towards They Might Be Giants or Weird Al, and the best part about dis tracks are the responses! How come they always dis the crappy ones and never the good ones? (Exception - Everlast vs. Eminem!)

[lazerinyourear]

My belief is that it's about Eminem. Isn't there a mention of "Dre" in the song as well? The cd is 3ft. away but, I am that lazy. I read part of an interview w/ Kurt Loder where he directly asked them if the song was about Em, they said no and mentioned him as talented, offhandedly. Didn't seem to genuine.

[i'mcrafty]

i think the lyrics come from way back when, bboys went through so much harassment early on not getting the respect they deserved. these lyrics are a long time coming and well written....no matter what the reason who really cares those lyrics are halarious!!!!!

[jennyb]

"dont ask me to wine and dine ya,
im from brooklyn, your from regina."

fred durst. hes from regina.
An old roommate of mine from college moved to Regina. When she told us there was a long pause and then we all said WHAT? Anyhow, I think you all are reading too much into this Hey Fuck You business. Isn't it just something commonly done in rap to spout off about other MCs and their styles? You know, MC battleground type shit?

[Humiliation]

?You sold a few records but don't get slick
'Cause you used a corked bat to get those hits
You've been in the game, your career is long
But when you break it down you've only got 2 songs?

?Now talk about your face now don't get pissed
But I suggest you see a dermatologist?

Pretty weak and superficial dis.

So Em, if you?re reading about this (and we all know that you love to read about yourself) You just got a crippled grandma spitball thrown at you vis a vis your heroes (?I got into rapping because of The Beastie Boys?) in ?Hey Fuck You?

What are you going to do about it ?
Of course he does. People forget that there's a hell of a lot of shitholes in america. What about gangwars and shit?

[Brooklyn Babe]

The song is reffering to a type of mc, which is portraid as one fictional charecter.
I think that's the most logical answer - its unlikely that the Beasties would want to pick a fight with anyone in particular - maybe it's also a warning to MC's who stray from the true path.

[Ord Lees]

Man, some of you people are dangerous. You are gonna get these guys in a beef that isn't even being started!

I took the song to be about the archetypical 'wack MC,' no one in particular.

For the record, Beastie Boys have said in public that they like Eminem...

It seems like many here are projecting their own dislike of him (or others mentioned here like Lil' Jon) into the lyrics of this song and taking the Beastie Boys to war like a Bush draft!

Man, you reach a point when even things (i.e. 'rappers' in this case) you don't like are just plain funny and I'm sure that the guys are just goofing on sucker mcs in general...

[dave790]

whoever posted about what mike apparently said in in regards to this matter has pretty much tidied it up. yet people still go on about it!

Yes, Fred Durst is from Jacksonville, Fl.

Shoot skeet is a real term for shooting trap and skeet.

Gun Information
Skeet is a very close in type of game. So, in order to break the targets effectively you need to use a gun with skeet chokes. If you do not have skeet chokes you can use improved cylinder instead. Skeet guns have short barrels 28-30 inches in length. You can use just about any type of shotgun to shoot skeet, as long as it can shoot doubles. Pumps are very uncommon in the sport. The bulk of the guns used to shoot skeet are over-unders and automatics. The unique part of skeet is that competition is shot in four different gauges. These gauges are 12, 20, 28, and 410. You may ask yourself do I need four different guns to compete? The answer is no. Some companies specialize in making what are called tube sets. If you have an over-under you can send it out and have a system of interchangeable tubes made for each gauge you wish to shoot. These tubes are the full length of the barrel and just drop right in and you are ready to shoot. Most models are made so they make the gun weigh as close to the original 12 gauge as possible.
