#Big shaq 2+2 is 4 plus

Skepta rapped in his song Are You Ready, вЂњMurder another 25 MCs/So dig me a larger grave/Spray my ting like aftershave,вЂќ using вЂњtingвЂќ seriously as a standвЂ“in for gun. One of ShaqвЂ™s more preposterous pieces of вЂњwordplay,вЂќ вЂњwhen the ting went quack quack quack, you man were ducking,вЂќ makes fun of many British grime artistsвЂ™ use of вЂњtingвЂќ in the lyrics, especially when referred to as a gun. The line sets the stage for the ridiculousness of the song, parodying some of the absurd trends in London rap one by one. South London rapper 410, in his song вЂњMad About BarsвЂќ previously rapped вЂњ8 2 thatвЂ™s eighty two/times five now weвЂ™re onto you,' while the hook on SkeptaвЂ™s вЂњNumbersвЂќ includes the lyrics вЂњquit talkinвЂ™ numbers, calculator/quit talkinвЂ™ numbers at you haters/thatвЂ™s a three, talkinвЂ™ numbers, nвЂ“nвЂ“numbers.вЂќ Big ShaqвЂ™s line about additional and subtraction is purposefully nonsensical, poking fun at this вЂњmathematicalвЂќ fad in the UK grime scene. The line itself, along with other lyrics, clearly mocks a pattern in the UK rap scene for artists who love incorporating mathematics into their lyrics.

While this article tries to seriously analyze some of the UK rap stereotypes that Dapaah utilizes for his parody, itвЂ™s important to remember that at the end of the day, the nature of ManвЂ™s Not HotвЂ™s tone is closer to a song from the Lonely Island than to one from Skepta.Дapaah became famous for his freestyle on BBC Radio 1, where his opening line, вЂњ2 plus 2 is four, minus one thatвЂ™s three, quick mathsвЂќ instantly garnered enough fame for Dapaah to incorporate it as the opening line for вЂњBig ShaqвЂ™sвЂќ successful single. In reality, вЂњBig ShaqвЂќ is actually a character created by Michael Dapaah, a British comedian. The hit single, whose beat sounds like one of many current rap songs coming out of LondonвЂ™s hipвЂ“hop scene right now, is anything but one of those braggadocious UK grime tracks.

note: Yes, maths) for you: ManвЂ™s Not Hot is currently #8 on the US Viral 50 and the Global Viral 50. You might already be aware, but for those of you who arenвЂ™t, Big ShaqвЂ™s вЂњManвЂ™s Not HotвЂќ is not a track meant to be taken seriously.
