One of the sassiest, smartest, funniest rhymes of the 00s. These boys love to play with the huge-ego hip-hop persona, and this song is their take on it at it’s most ridiculous. There’s a great juxtaposition between the verses — desperately defensive and a little bit lonely (“I’m lonely without a woman that wants to spar”) — and the big balls of the chorus (“Bigger than the Beatles and bigger than breast implants”). Awesome.
