I went to Bonnaroo for the second time in 2009, and i was with all my friends. Back then I was illing pretty hard on all kinds of drunken masshole rubbish, I should have been punched out but everyone was pretty lovey on MDMA, I guess. I mostly had a blast in tennesee that weekend, but i’m pretty certain I gave myself untreated alcohol poisoning, missed a phish show I went there to see, and lost my campsite in the pouring rain. I was definitely coming apart at the seams, despite having fun doing it.
Anyway, my best friend Patrick and I had taken to doing a rendition of the 1999 New Orleans bounce classic “U Understand” By the cash money millionaire and hot boy Juvenile. it went like this, i said the verses and he simply said the “u understand” repeating hook. We were standing around rocking it out acapella, and people were watching.
this poor young little drug addled girly was floored and thought we had come up with these rhymes.
“ohmaigodddd, you guys should make a record, you’re so good, ohhhmaigod”
Poor fucking clueless kid, it’s Juvie, baby. For the record, i love two of the Juvenile records (400 Degreez, Tha G Code), and the whole late 90’s cash money, Manny fresh produced, 17 year old lil Wayne NOLA bounce sound. I hate adult Wayne i think he bears a large responsibility for the total destruction of quality hip hop in the mainstream, but that teenage “Bling Bling” cadence and delivery is catchy.
“OHHHHHMAIIIIIGODDDDD”
Lyrics
CMR bitch. G Code nigga G code nigga G code nigga
Juvenile:

30 camoflauge Hummers with niggaz inside

Juvenile:

You know them hoes gon’ let me know where they at (ya understand)
Nigga got me I’ma go get em back (ya understand)
One by one they all gonna drop (ya understand)
Right here is where the foolishness stop (ya understand)
I’m tryin’ to get the bullshit over (ya understand)
’cause I want to go and chill in the ‘Nolia (ya understand)
We need to get some more ammunition (ya understand)
’cause somebody’s bout to come up missin’ (ya understand)

And when ya see one of them bitches ya bust (ya understand)

Juvenile:
