Headshot that's a hairdo
Blood drop like shampoo
Young Vidal Sassoon
Oh well, no Shamu

She clap her ass and the lamp blew
We catch yo ass gettin fast food
It happen fast then we vamoose
Rat-a-tat tat-a-tat poof

I go Apple Jack to the Froot Loop
I got milk sauce in the ragout
From the body on the sidewalk in chalk
To the chalk in his kid's classroom

Sick shit


Today's entry is definitely more investigative than revelatory. I'm almost certain I'm hearing him wrong on multiple lines, but I'll do my best to piece some images together and maybe it'll help something click for someone else.

The first section is no problem. He's essentially equating the art of the headshot to hairdressing, and compares himself to a young Vidal Sassoon, a famous and highly skilled hairdresser. The Shamu line doesn't seem to add much to it besides putting a bit of a playful twist on well/whale. I think the essence of all four lines can be boiled down to "headshot, oh well", like it's no big deal.

Why did the lamp blow after she clapped her ass?? I have no idea. This is where I start to suspect I'm hearing things wrong. The next three lines are again no problem though, giving a brief example of how quickly and efficiently things can happen when you're not watching your back.

The rest is chaos. Apple Jacks are a cereal, like Froot Loops, but I see no further connection. Applejack is also a drink, but that doesn't help. My best guess is it's another headshot euphemism. The ragout bit I'm probably hearing wrong, but my best guess is something sex related. I think I got the body/chalk part right though. Before I sat down to look at it closely, it sounded like he was saying they would use the classroom chalk to outline the body, but now I have a feeling that the connection is something different and maybe deeper.

UPDATE FROM THE FUTURE: I eventually had the clapping line explained to me. The thumbnail picture should make it obvious.
