    • @AlexandraBruce
      @AlexandraBruce 7 лет назад +88

      The budget was $17,000, which was very cheap back then because we had to shoot on film and transfer to tape and then do a final "online" edit that cost $3k. Everything was so much more expensive because video wasn't digital yet, editing was linear. That was the 2nd video I directed for Ed and the 3rd video I ever directed. I did "Ya Bad" by Chubb Rock in between.

    I recently been listening to some Special Ed lately...I didn't appreciate his flow back in the day, because so many lyricists were around, but goddamn, Ed was ahead of his time for such a young brotha. One of the greatest!

    Lyrics
    Think about it
    Sometime I want to rhyme, but then again I must wait
    For the approaching of a toy to introduce him to his fate
    Death, I always try to figure out why
    Sucker MC's want to battle me when they know they will die
    In the end, so why pretend you're livin trifle
    I'ma rope you up like a cowboy, stifle
    Your throat with my microphone cord, cause I'm the lord
    Of the rhyme, some people say that they can never get bored
    Cause I'm exciting, pleasurable listening
    I'm only tryin to show you what your records keep on missing, and
    I'm only tryin to help our your crew, and
    I know I must forgive ya, cause you don't know what you're doin
    So sucker MC's, please think twice
    Would you join the navy if you didn't like the gravy and rice?
    Think about it
    Think about that, then think about this
    If I tried to hit you, do you think that I would miss?
    Well, I'm fast, I only hit the center, mass and head
    I'm Special Ed, funkadelic relic of the ages
    If you like this, then I got pages and pages
    Some dumb bubbleyum bubblegum chewin
    Chumps be screwin
    I the fly, I wonder why
    What's the reason for the treason, huh, you want to die?
    I'm high-post, higher than most
    Not from France, but I eat french toast
    I'm international, I make the cash in all ways
    Got dollars in my pocket, cause man, it pays
    To be smart, I turn my art into an empire
    Cause I grow and grow, so you know I never tire
    Got the status and the clout, no doubt
    Of all time, I got the rhyme to take you out
    Cause my rap is like a trap that you fall into
    I'm Special Ed, now who the hell are you?
    You're unknown, don't even own a microphone
    You can't rap, you make me want to cap a stone
    In your eye, why do you persist to make noise
    When ever since I was a kid I never did like toys
    I get furious, leavin MC's curious
    In a daze, my hits do faze
    I recommend you listen to the phrase that pays
    Don't jest, you won't succeed
    I make you bleed till you need a transfusion
    This is no illusion
    I know you're gettin blurried, don't worry, it's confusion
    Of the mind, don't whine, you can't cry forever
    It'll take your life to decipher the clever
    Rhymes that I say in the way that I do
    Akshun Luv, my deejay, I guess it's on you
    But is there anybody better? I doubt it
    And if you think you are, I think you better think about it
    The lyrics are suffice, suffice are my lyrics
    Idolized by the public, praised by the critics
    Worth more than gold, longer than a giraffe
    Take em to the pawn shop, get a yard and a half
    And I'm the creator of the rhymes you praise
    All of y'all with the gall I will leave in a daze
    Try to battle me, and I'ma make it my job
    To burn you as I turn you like a shishkebab
    Cause yo, the style that I portrait is the style of a leader
    If you' re really gonna battle me, you're really gonna need a
    Whole crew, not two, three or four
    You gonna need a whole posse, a mossie or more
    Cause I'm strong, rap long, yet the rhymes don't drag
    Like a bag full of tricks or a trick in a bag
    I'm uprising, surprising
    Not a nag, not antagonizing
    Cause I'm full of fun, and I got a gun
    To kill MC's fresher than me, but there are none
    Cause I've looked everywhere
    Under every rock, in every chair
    MC's they try to hide when I get hot
    I know that they hide, but where I know not
    You're nothin but a sucker, chump you're scared
    You tried to battle me, but you wasn't prepared
    You slept, I crept up, shot your drawers
    And now you're runnin for your life like you're swimmin from Jaws
    But go, I know that you've learned your lesson
    Go to church, just confess, and
    Tell the preacher you committed sin
    You battled Special Ed when you couldn't win
    Tried, you cried, you shouted, you pouted
    But I told ya - you should thought about it
