Nostalgia...and Keeping Bitches In Check: "What's a Mack To Do?" (2002)
While sitting at work, chatting with fellow Krumbinite, Anna M, we started talking about music, as us musicians will do from time to time. I then started to shwo her bits and pieces of this journal, which chronicled a good bit of the musical goings-ons of yours truly. And of course, we talked about the days of WEARD.

But yea!
I started thinking of one song me and the guys did. It was a Pimp Wilie Port (Ronald, aka Rozzer23) song called "What's a Mack To Do?"
Misogyny and glorification of the Pimp Lifestlye aside, it was one of those tracks that made me feel like I was on the right track musically. I remember that night well.
My parents were out of town and my friends was over. For my survival of that weekend, I procured a case of beer, a box of Popeye's chicken, and a healthy selection of pornography to dub onto tapes for me and my friends. It was during that madness that "What's a Mack To Do?" came forth.
Buzzed out of my head, I recorded all the instruments quickly. Then Ronald, with the help of me and our buddy Chris Michael, we did the vocals and it was a rap. Still one of my favorite efforts to this day!
For your viewing pleasure, here are the lyrics. Remember, it's all in fun, funk and comedy:

When that trick starts mouthing off
What you do?
You knock her down south
When that trick starts talking back
What you do?
You give her a smack
When that trick starts cuttin' up
What you do?
You shut her up!
When that trick starts mouthing off
What you do?
You know her down south
Now what's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
(You take that hand, cock it back, and knock her out her SHOES!)
When that john is hittin your bitches
What you do?
You pay him a visit
When that john just don't wanna pay
What you do?
You go to gun-play
When that john is becoming a bother
What you do?
You scoop up his daughter
when that john won't pay up fast
What you do?
Platform in the ass
Now what's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
(You take that hand, cock it back, and knock her out her SHOES!)
When that bitch is talkin' 'bout leavin
What you do?
You give her a reason
When that bitch is actin' like a bitch
What you do?
Put a coat hanger to the clit
When that trick is mouthing off
What you do?
OH! You knock her down south
When that trick is talkin' shit
What you do?
You hit her in the lip
Now what's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
What's a Mack to do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
Now what a pimp 'gon do?
We're gonna (take that hand, cock it back, and knock her out her SHOES!)
(Take that hand, cock it back, and knock her out her SHOES!)
Buster Douglas, on that ass
Tyson, on they ass
Holyfield, on ya ass!
(Ha ha ha...Buster Keaton!)
(Ha ha ha ha...)
