This one is for the boys with the booming system

He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach
He a motherfuckin' trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And, yes, you'll get slapped if you're lookin' ho

But I think I like him better when he dolo
And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
He ain't even gotta try to put the mack on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then them panties comin' off, off, uh
Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy you know

You are probably trolling but... If you've ever lived in an apartment you know this all too well. It's late at night and you hear rhythmic thumping from someone that's put an expensive sound system in their car. **boom, badoom-boom, boom, badoom-boom, bass** Sub-bass energy is popular in dance music and dub reggae, where the low frequencies involve energy from the kick drum, the bass guitar and electronic synthesizers. Other genres such as dubstep or drum and bass often feature the whole bass-line reproduced in sub-bass frequencies. Much experimental music uses sub-bass, in particular drone music, where the majority of the sound can often be in the sub-bass range. Often, hip hop and rap songs feature much sub-bass. Songs like this, that make liberal use of sub-bass are generally given the term of "bass song." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… As for the "pelican fly" phrase, Urban Dictionary has this: When you are completely wasted/high stoned to the point of totally losing it. Can only really reach "pelican fly" on cocaine, amphetamines. E, LSD. But some people can reach it on marijuana. Origins from the film "Scarface." Al Paccino is sitting in a bath watching TV and sees a pair of flamingoes flying and says : "Hey Manny look at it .. Pelican fly come on pelican." Man I smoked some really strong weed and was "pelican fly." ..So maybe that's what she's trying to express. Slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye = Slick Rick ...the rest should add up now.

My Interpretation
This song is definitely about Hitler. Whether it's admiration or fear is debatable. Look here: "This one is for the boys with the boomin' system" Already, we see a reference to his effective economic plan for Germany, which she seems to admire. "Top down, AC, with the coolin' system" But she turns around with this, which comments on the comfort he provided himself while ordering... "When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up" ...that's correct, the Holocaust. "Blazing up" being the burning of bodies. "Stacks on deck like he savin' up" Stacks of corpses in mass graves. A pretty clear one. "And he ill, he real, he might got a deal" This is one of those lines wherein lies either admiration or fear. "Ill" has become something of a slang term for something perceived as enjoyable, "cool". being "real" is also something to be respected. "he might got a deal" has disturbing grammar for a reason. The line and grammar both represent her indecision and confusion about admiring him or not. "...he got the right kind of build" Hitler was popular with the help of his charisma, charm and look. Or, "the right kind of build." "He cold, he dope, he might sell coke" This line may represent her resentment of admiring someone who may be less than reputable. "He always in the air, but he never fly coach He a muthaf***in' trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship" She is praising his military work in these lines. The entire chorus is her either describing her inability to hold back her love, or her fear of the surrounding war, hence the onomatopoeia. "This one is for the boys in the Polos Entrepreneur niggas, and the moguls He could ball with the crew, he could solo But I think I like him better when he dolo" She shows appreciation for the SS and Hitler together and separate. I don't have a scrotehair of an idea what "dolo" means.

Can someone please tell me what this all means? What is a Pelican Fly? I understand pelicans can fly, but that's not likely what they're referencing and as far as the name, Super Bass? What does this song have to do with bass? They're not referencing any fish, or the bass guitar instrument and I highly doubt bass has any significant instrumental portion to this song... or what they pass off as a song. This is a terrible song... I much prefer Rebecca Black.

@ErezMA

she is just saying that he is really fly as in the cool type of fly, like if I said your ice cold im implyng that really crule, and the name refers to her heart beat
"you got my heartbeat runnin' away;
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way...
Can't you hear that boom, badoom-boom, boom, badoom-boom, bass? (He got that super bass!"

GHOST707on August 02, 2011

A pelican is a bird, not a fly. This also still has nothing to do with a bass. There is no bass component to this song nor are there any mentions of the bass instrument.

ErezMAon August 09, 2011

I thought this was extremely obvious, but she is comparing her racing heartbeat with the sound of bass.
She's a talented rapper and she isn't any less of one just because you couldn't figure out what her song was about. Go comment on some old rock music or something if your just going to be critical of popular artists.

sei-kun2061on September 03, 2011

There's no room for Nicki hate here.

emstercolaon September 09, 2011

shouldnt boom badoom boom boom badoom boom count as the bass component?? lol

caspahhon October 09, 2011

i'm pretty sure they were joking. as to say, "this is a pop song with no real hidden meaning, so why is it posted on sonmeanings.net?" didn't get it?

My Opinion
Personaly, I don't like this type of music, but it's not the sound nor her voice that bugs me. It's just the musicvideo. Always talking about that us women shouldn't be seen as sexobjects and all I can see in her musicvideo is boobs and unbuttoned shorts. Also, that every single man in that musicvideo has these extreme abs, which kind of looks like brains sticking out of their stomaches. I kind of hate the musicvideo. Just my opinion.
