Das EFX - Klap Ya Handz
Das EFX - Klap Ya Handz - Das EFX is an American hip hop duo. It consists of emcees Skoob (also known as Books, born William "Willie" Hines, November 27, 1970) and Dray (also known as Krazy Drayzy, born Andre Weston, September 9, 1970). They rose to popularity in the early 1990s due to their affiliation with EPMD's Hit Squad and the duo's stream of consciousness lyrical delivery, which became one of the most influential lyrical styles in hip hop music during the early 1990s. Their style combined nonsensical lines with a fast-paced flow (that included words that end with "-iggedy") and numerous pop culture references.

Pop culture lyrical geniuses
Only Das Efx can turn the sound someone makes when they spit into a lyric.
Noticed that there wasn’t as much “iggity” in this single. This was before they recorded the dead serious album. This was the song they used when they competed for $100.00 in Virginia. EPMD was so impressed with them that they offered them a record deal.

this how they got on with EPMD, Drazy said that after they performed this at the rap contest in 1990, the scale was 1-10 and EPMD was putting up 11's and 12's. Cause they style was literally new and original, the iggety thing had never been done by anyone before them

That #NYQUIL reference at 1:08 was genius. NyQuil's well-known litany as “The nighttime sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, so you can rest medicine” was first coined in 1979.

the classic
This was my jawn right here they be saying some hilarious stuff I bangs with them though
That "ain't no half steppin" sample is the shit
I had the opportunity to see these katz at a hit squad concert with EPMD and Redman in San Bernardino, Ca. OFF THA CHAIN! Definitely a delivery and style that outshined new acts, and clearly made other up and coming emcees think about versatility with creativity in the rhyme laboratory.

Your comment is beyond wack! I’m stunned by you ignorance. Das EFX had their own unique style of real hip hop. It wasn’t about storytelling. It wasn’t about bitches and hoes. It wasn’t about cars and clothes. It wasn’t about money. It was about the beats, the music, and using the rhythm of their voices and words to build good vibes. As much as people try to ignore it, their word selection, delivery, and syncopation are crucial to their style. Those elements were carefully thought out. This was good music to play at parties, parties where people just wanted to dance and have fun. Young guys and gals could hang out, hook up, and have a good time. Nobody wanted to fight. People don’t dance no more at parties. They beef and then shoot the place up! The fact that you don’t get Das EFX and say their lyrics are wack proves you don’t get them. They never had particularly profound lyrics and it wasn’t about that anyway! They made music to make people feel good.
