Yo

You can get that bass on below
I got that rock 'n' roll
That future flow

That digital spit
Next level visual shit
I got that (boom boom boom)
How the beat bang (boom boom boom)

I like that boom boom pow
Them chickens jackin' my style
They try to copy my swagger
I'm on that next shit now
I'm so 3008
You so 2000 and late
I got that boom boom boom

I'm on that supersonic boom
Y'all hear that spaceship zoom
When-when I step inside the room, them girls go apeshit, uh
Y'all stuck on Super 8 shit
That lo-fi stupid 8-bit
I'm on that HD flat
This beat go boom boom bap

I'm a beast when you turn me on
Into the future, Cybertron
Harder, faster, better, stronger
Sexy ladies, extra longer, 'cause
We got the beat that bounce
We got the beat that pounds
We got the beat, that 808
That boom boom in your town

People in the place
If you wanna get down
Put your hands in the air
will.i.am drop the beat now

Yep, yep
I be rockin' them beats (yep, yep)
I be rockin' them beats (yep, yep, yep, yep, ha, ha, ha)

Here we go, here we go
Satellite radio
Y'all getting hit with the (boom boom)
Beats so big, I'm steppin' on leprechauns
Shittin' on y'all with the (boom boom)
Shittin' on y'all with the (boom boom)

Them chickens jackin' my style
They try to copy my swagger
I'm on that next shit now

You so 2000 and late
I got that boom boom boom
That future boom boom boom
Let me get it now

Boom boom boom (gotta get that)

Boom boom boom

Let the beat rock (let the beat rock)
Let the beat rock (let the beat)
Let the beat rock (let the beat rock, rock, rock, rock)

i think this is a total stab at lady gaga's poker face "them chickens jockin my style, they try to copy my swagger, i'm on that next shit now, i'm so three thousand and eight, you so two thousand and LATE" i.e. black eyed peas' song my humps from 2005, v.s. the 3rd verse in poker face: "i won't tell you that i love you kiss or hug you cus i'm bluffin with my muffin i'm not lyin im just stunnin with my love-glue-gunnin" where she takes on the same voice and "bambi rhyming" as fergie in my humps. but she's 3 years late.

"I'm so 3008, you so 2000 and late" is the only line that really sticks out to me. It's one of those catchy mindless songs though.

to me this song incorporates alot of the different styles we hear in pop radio these days. The vocoder, the 'haters' that diss them, the crazy infectious beats, the repetition, the talking about nothing.... it's almost satirical or like a parody. Its like they made a list of things that make a hit record and this is what came out of that formula, yet it still has this original sound although its brought nothing new at all. I HATE the BEP and I fuckin' jizzed when will i am died in the new x-men movie but this song will be on my list of favourite songs of all time. It displeases me but this song is too good to be true. I secretly scan the radio in search of it.

It's a BEP song, guys. It's for dancing... it's not going to have the lyrical depth of a Bob Dylan tune. The song is great.. Video matches it perfectly. It's all about being on the 'next level' compared to the other musicians/artists today. And these are the lyrics to Taboo's part: I'm on the supersonic boom Y'all hear the space ship zoom When when I step inside the room them girls go apeshit, uh Y'all stuck on Super-8 shit That low-fi stupid 8-bit I'm on that HD flat This beat go boom boom pow (Super-8 was a really old format for VCR tapes, and 8-bit describes electronic sound. 8-bit is not very good - something like the old Nintendo NES sounds. Most modern games use 32 or 64-bit sound now.

My Interpretation
"We got the beat, that 808" This is a reference to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which features prominently in this song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… To me, 'Boom Boom Pow' is itself a tribute to the legendary 808 and the gut-wrenching sub-bass it can churn out on its kick drum sounds. Like a lot of us, BEP would have grown up listening to music featuring the 808, and I think this song is mainly a tribute to it.

Actually....

Ya'll stuck on super apeshit
That Low-Fi stupid 8-bit

This beat go boom boom bap

They are referencing the A/V contrast of people still living in the analog and semi-digital age as opposed to those living in 1080p.

Y'all stuck on super-8 shit

Super-8 is a very old style of 8mm film that people used for home movies, etc.)

Other than that, yep.
