by 'new' i assume you mean from like six years old and by 'some prick' i
assume you mean ras kass.
that would probably be 'nature of the threat'

you need to listen to the song again, i think. i have neither the time or
inclination to debate this topic right now - it's been done to death in the
hip hop community and i think a deja search or something would pull up more
info than you'd ever need on the topic.
Here's Ras' own description i pulled off some interview on the web:
"Basically I feel that white people are potential predators and part of
what's behind it is that white people are genetically recessive. We're all
genetically related to black people. This is just like what Hitler said and
what the KKK says, 'we're the master race, but please don't mix with us or
we'll get absorbed.' So white people have an incentive to keep other people
down. In the song I break down that racism is a system of subjugation
created by a ruling class to perpetuate the class that has all the goods.
And if white get assimilated they lose that distinction."
key word: potential.
and i know this has absolutely nothing to do with idm or timbaland, but
whatever.
