All My Niggaz

Trouble

Trouble is intent to illustrate with “All My Niggaz” that he and his closest friends are thugs and thus, about that (thug) life. In the introduction Trouble references an off-song “Shawty” who wants to hear more about the “BIG MOB”. Trouble sounds more than familiar with nefarious street activity and in fact, the streets have anointed him “Big Troub”, which based on his reputation is a high honor (ref: Edgewood Street Code, Amd. 3, Sect. a.2.; Interstate-20/75/85/285 Cooperative Charter, Amd. 6, Sect. H).

The menacing nature of Divus P & Ducko McFlii’s production is solidified by the hook, looped and filtered in a style reminiscent of Memphis, Tennessee’s Three Six Mafia (c. 1997-2002). The chorus' directive is straightforward; all of Big Troub’s “niggaz” are instructed to get real buck (see: tough, ready to fight, enforce “Edgewood Street Code, Amd. 1”).

Trouble utilizes a subject-appropriate, clipped flow to walk the listener through a range of scenarios with he and his “niggaz”. The following scenarios are meant to depict Big Troub, seemingly Trouble’s alter ego which all (real) street “niggaz” must embody whence surviving the trap, 12, hoes and various impediments which arise.

Big Troub details the following: a woman in his midst is passed to his “niggaz”, he and his “niggaz” break down a couple [redacted]; he personally consumes a Percocet to the point of being geeked (see: intoxicated on pills, cocaine, additional high-grade narcotics); his rare capability to form alliances with rival street gangs; the exotic dancers he controls in various gentlemen’s clubs; the menacing nature of his activities; the dozens of bullets loaded into his firearm; the limitless number of items he (and presumably his “niggaz”) has taken in the past.
