Breaking Bad
03/17/2023 Click here for Spotify or Apple Music. This is my 35th official release and honestly, it comes too soon. I feel like I have enough work to justify this song but I don’t have the clout. By that I mean this track is the start of me talking about the rap game and making songs about other rappers. This is the precursor for “what now” which is an EP that drops on April 14th.
“Breaking Bad” is an homage to Eminem and Dr Dre. I don’t know when Marshall will hear this. I think his fans will really like it. It’s basically a tribute to his discography. If you know Eminem’s work you’ll hear it. It gives reference to many of Marshall’s songs while giving my own perspective and the breaking bad theme. I wanted to make the song with a popular media reference that we both enjoy and goes with Em and Dre’s construct. The truth is I’ve listened to Marshall since grade school and probably know his discography better than any other artist. By consequence, I “take” a lot from him.
The first verse is to introduce why I’m doing this. My old artist name is Apollo. I’ve talked about it before on this blog but here is a link to the Edulution album. The hook is basically asking for a co-sign/ advance but the truth is It’s meant to be standoffish. Honestly I hope this will act as an application to be in the shady aftermath camp but I just wanted to make a track about the best duo in the game. I wanna go to shade 45 just to introduce myself, drop a nice letter and let them know it’s all love. Don’t come for me Marshall.
I’m not sexually attached to Marshall but in the song I wanted to create a type of Stan hysteria in the third verse for Marshall. It’s intentionally supposed to be fanatical so it makes Marshall think twice while being funny. “Pussy Poppin” is written and will probably come out next year along with “ scrumptious” (which is a working title). But I just wanted to point out that I sexualized my male peers before I did it to women.
The vocals were recorded at Crack Horse Recording in Lansing Michigan by TheyCallMeHeat. The track was mixed and mastered by Sam Peters at La Luna recording studio in Kalamazoo Michigan. The Beat is by tantubeats.com. The cover art was made by ArtworkGang from Fiverr. You can stream or download the track wherever music is sold. Thank you for your support.

Lyrics:
I just want everyone to know that Marshall Mathers is my daddy
They call me Apollo on the mic, and I’m so happy
That Marshall wants to be Zeus cuz in greek mythology
Apollo was his son, and I’ll tell you what there ain’t no stop’n me
When I was a little kid
I dyed my hair like Eminem did
Blond top, suns hot, gunshots nonstop
Listen to D12 one shot two shot
Come’n from my bed room, feelin like 2Pac
But I was just a white kid, scrawny and always honoree
And I was one of the privileged kids, there was really nothing wrong with me
But I found “Brain Damage,” and “As the World Turns”
And was like “If I had a” million dollars I’d buy a fuckin purse
Tuck my dick into my legs, cluck, and give birth
Be like all of these chickens that can’t rewrite his verse
Reimagine the page using his words
Cadence and slurs like were go’n berzerk
(Hey Em)
If I like what you written, you might get bitten
It’s despicable, like Daffy Duck when I’m spittin
I’m here to keep Shady and Dre from feelin
That Shady’s not here to save the children
Come on dawg, give it a chance
What would it take, to make you advance
Cuz I know you aren’t afraid, to take a stan
Let me give you a little motivation to do what you can
You can’t break bad without a chemist
I am the one who knocks at the door of your business
I’m a rider for the sound and hits, a writer and a scientist
Like Jesse with it, cuz it’s time for science bitch
I remember get’n high in highschool listen’n to “Rain Man”
For the first time, think’n we was brain dead
High as a kite smoke’n listen to “Kim”
Think’n “Is it gay to touch another man’s ass with your fist?”
We met Brady, gotta guilty conscious
Bought into the metaphors, melodies, constructs
Love watch’n Em go off on the mic
And hearin what beat Dr. Dre had derived
Learned how to square dance (square dance with me)
and get down to business
How we ain’t got no time to play around, what is this
Say goodbye to Hollywood, cuz my dad’s gone crazy
Would you please stand up for the real slim shady
I think we’re approaching an age of the gross
Just another episode on the yellow brick road
If you’re proud to be out of my mind and out of control
One more time, you know how it goes
Come on dawg, give it a chance
What would it take, to make you advance
Cuz I know you aren’t afraid, to take a stan
Let me give you a little motivation to do what you can
You can’t break bad without a chemist
I am the one who knocks at the door of your business
I’m a rider for the sound and hits, a writer and a scientist
Like Jesse with it, cuz it’s time for science bitch
I wanna say this shit right now while this fuck’n weed is in me
I love you dawg, now let’s go make history
I could’a wrote a diss to see if you’d respond offensively
Rather be a friend to me, don’t make me your enemy
Cuz you know my Machiavelli
He lives on in the intelligently
Crafted written legibly
Poetry that I’m leveraging
I’m ball’n like Pluto
Ya Gaia and Blue know
Wit your cool flow
I’ve fall’n for you, like Bruno
And wanna suck Shady’s dick, like Ken Kaniff
Get it back from Shaggy, while he’s take’n a shit
That’s right pumpkin, you woke up to a blumpkin
I wanna share the world with you and all your fuck shit (Marshall)
I bet your more afraid to love another man
Take him by the hand, and make him understand
(I love you)
I love you Marshall, it don’t gotta be like this
We could run away together back where Dr. Dre lives
Come on dawg, give it a chance
What would it take, to make you advance
Cuz I know you aren’t afraid, to take a stan
Let me give you a little motivation to do what you can
You can’t break bad without a chemist
I am the one who knocks at the door of your business
I’m a rider for the sound and hits, a writer and a scientist
Like Jesse with it, cuz it’s time for science bitch
