Mouse drop the track that'll make you say "eh, what was that?"

With the mysteries of Electric Relaxation's hook and French Montana's slurred "fanute" lyric now solved, the most puzzling "WTF does he say exactly?" moment in this Rap shit surely has to be Mouse On Tha Track's production tag. Ya boy Ryan Dombal & MJG right chea has always heard it as "Mouse drop the track that'll make ya bus' and act", but my buddy Chemical Alan swears its "Mouse drop the track that'll make ya pussy pack" and t'internet insists that its actually "Mouse drop the track that'll make ya bounce it back". Which is it? Judge for all y'allselves by listening to the song Mouse's famed line originally appears on at precisely 2:54 :

"See, Mouse drop the track that'll make ya ______________
and I done popped a pill and sniffed a powder pack"


Handy ft. Mouse & Webbie - Cut The Lights On
(From Rap Hustlin' album; 2005)


Subroc-ed in a 2004 road accident before his debut album Rap Hustlin' could hit stores, Handy (or Lil' Handy as people often refer to him on the internetz) was a traditional Louisiana henchman-Rapper in the vein of B.G. or Beelow, and his aforementioned posthumous debut album is noteworthy for being almost entirely produced by Mouse and featuring cameos from Baton Rogue A-listers like Webbie and Young Bleed, as well as Turk from the Hot Boy$. In the cruelest twist of irony imaginable, Handy's best song is a car-jam with Webbie and a fella with a lisp by the name of Box who also appeared on Rap Hustlin' which wasn't on the original 2005 album but is included the version someone uploaded to Datpiff last year :

"I taught my baby tricks and n*ggas act like it's so shockin'
on sunday they was jockin' 'cause my trunk was pop-lockin'"


Handy ft. Box & Webbie - Mobbin' In Them Old Schools
(From the Datpiff version of Rap Hutlin'; 2011)


Mobbin' In Them Old Schools outdoes Little Bruce at his own game because it makes vintage American cars sound surreal and futuristic via absurdist turns-of-phrase that'd have Young Dro or Gucci Mane screwing up their faces in jealousy all like "Dang - I wish that was one of my lines!", whereas Bruce just made smashin' around like a straight fool in his burnt orange Chevy sound like a sexier alternative to ridin' in a Fiat lookin' for a biiiiaaatch.

Bounce and act?

The Electric Relaxation thing always blew my mind. Was clear as day to me when I first heard it.

Wasn't until the internetz that I discovered the confusion.

Hmmmm. "Bounce and act" sounds very plausible. Were you born with the eardrums of one of those special Japanese dogs that can decipher sounds no other animals car hear, Boothe?

"floss and act?" Boothe you a fictional fairy tale ass dude.

Never even heard of this Handy dude, nice one. The Pimp C organs on the Mobbin tune are motivating me to retake the drivers test and maybe even study first this time.

I don't hear the word bounce at all. It sounds like bust or floss.
