III. More on This Unit: "they Want EFX"

The title of this theme comes from Das Efx’s 1992 album, “Dead Serious.” This song represents a style called “flipping the tongue” that showcases the MC's dexterity with the movement and enunciation of sound and words.  It is often hailed as the best rhyme to practice and improve your pronunciation and delivery.

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it/ Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
