Hmmm. The goofiness of the whole thing notwithstanding (I'm sure I am just too old) I found a surprising proper use of the language here that suggests this might have been written either by a non-rapper, or a literate one.

"...give shouts out in his Name." Ordinarily, that kind of thing would be mistakenly pluralized as "shout outs". However, like "brothers in law" the writer has correctly pluralized the term. "Shout outs," though improper, would sound more ebonic, so I am guessing our author is a hip-hop wannabee.

Maybe they had a good English teacher who was on the job. :-)

On the other hand, you might want to rethink the apostrophe in teacher's. :-)
