Lyrics:
Riggidy-raow, Ziggidy Gadzuks, Here I go, so
Fliggedy-flame on, g-geronimo, yo
I biggedy-burn riggedy-rubber when I blabber great
I miggedy-make the Wonder Twins deactivate
It's crazy, I'm biggedy-breakin' backs and bustin' lips
I friggedy-freaked Gladys Knight and those freakin' Pips
Shrimps, I miggedy-make enough noise like Bamm-Bamm
Throw boulders from Bedrock you'll get dropped, I slam man
So check it
I riggedy-wreck it quick, aw shucks
I giddedy-got the big ducks like Daddy Warbucks
I riggedy-rocked the coca-cabana
Banana split
{HACK-THO} Spit, so sit
I friggedy-freak it from here to Bangladesh
I riggedy-rippin' flesh plus I get fresh like this
Swish, swiggedy-swooshed kid, you'll get it done
Swooshed for fun, I riggedy-rhyme like no one
I biggedy-bum riggedy-rush chiggedy-chumps, I'm savage
I shake 'em up and down like the Down Jones Average
I'm cocky, like Rocky, I biggedy-bangs the best
So tiggedy-tell your friend, chump, 'cause here comes Das EFX
A-higgedy-hoy there matey, I giggedy-gots to flow
My Saturday nights are live-er than Joe Piscopo
So yo, siggedy-save the bait for Charlie Tuna
See I be the boogie banger, like Esiason's the Boomer
I'm higgedy-hots to trot, I giggedy-gots the motts
Jewels plus dreads, so toots, call me Goldilocks
I ciggedy-catch the scoop from Peter Jennings
Do a spin like the mag and I slide like Peggy Fleming
Or a smiggedy-smack a fag and choke 'em up until he squeals
I Hawiian punched the Captain and now I'm maxing with Tenille
I piggedy-pack steel, I got a big gun
I'm freaking the track from Brooklyn, yo, 'cause Brooklyn's where I'm from
Tiggedy-time to get buck wild
Call me Butterfingers, 'cause I dippedy-drop 'nuff styles
Iggedy eeny meeny miney moe
Shiggedy-bop, bap I'll snatch a rapper by his toe
I riggedy-write my pages when I figgedy-feel the flavor
I fliggedy-fly the friendly skies, so now I be a sky pager
I friggedy-freaked the funka
The rough Nestle Cruncher, word to Arch Bunker
Give me the mike and I'll liggedy-light it up like Uncle Fester
Microphone checka, one two checka
I tiggedy take no shorts, I'm not the fella
I can even act: Stella, Stella
Yo Stella, here ciggedy-comes the bum rush, maybe
No Static, I niggedy-knows more kids than um, Bebe
So higgedy-hey hey hey not Dwayne but I got props
I biggedy-bust rhymes like Slick Rick busts shots
So when I friggedy-freaks the funk, I'll be the ill funk freaka
I stiggedy-stole an apple from this bum named Bonita
So riggedy-rub-a-dub I got the lip to make ya flip
Bustin heads with Erik Sherman and my man Parish Smith
Kiggedy-kiss my grits, check the jingle
I diggedy-don't bruise but snooze like Rip Van Winkle
So twinkle, twinkle, twinkle little star
I sliggedy-slam dunk like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Numbskull, I piggedy-pump up like Reebok Pumps
I friggedy-freak the stuff that makes a camel lose his humps, chumps
So wiggedy-where's the beef, um chief
He figgedy-fits the mold like the gold that's on his teeth
I rocks 'em, I socks 'em, I drops 'em, ah-choo
So riggedy-ready sit down, hut one, hut two
I diggedy dot my i's, and cross my tiggedy-t's, bro
I swiggedy-swing more action than Hawaii Five-O

They may have been among the first but to say nobody can emulate this is just wrong. There are plenty of examples, both old and new. The Fu-Schnickens for example entered the scene at the same time as Das EFX and rocked the same style and word acrobatics, just faster. And recently - do you know this guy who calls himself "Rap is a Martial Art" ?
I can't believe people in the comments call this gibberish?!?! It is not, they are lyrically taking bits and pieces of Pop culture from the 70s and 80s and making it into a song about themselves, taking bits of shows and commercials like Sampling but with words from old TV. GENIUS

@Molly M. when they came out I was only 14 years old. Many of the references you may understand, but there are some that, as you grow older, there are other you pick up on. Most people hear the pop culture references, but in the middle of that they're throwing bars, left and right. That's why having the lyrics on hand are useful, especially regarding their style of rap. It's similar to Twista.

They did this against real competition - not like today's rap with 5-10 stars owning the air waves. In the 90's everyone was a star if they hit the screen. Only a handful of rappers of today could have survived this era.
This is a great era in hip hop never gets old
The flow between references to hip-hop culture, current events, historical, pop-culture, contemporary, and literature is INSANE. Every time I listen to this stuff (going on 30 years now...) I hear something that I missed, forgot, or was just too young to comprehend. I miss the days when our musicians were not just mere puppets of the industry, but actual developers of new forms of expression. Exposing mankind to their perspective and life experiences without being beholden to some cookie-cutter persona of what a rapper, rocker, or even pop-star should "be like".
Good old days. Got this on CD. Love it.
1990s hip hop still sounds good
Das influenced an entire segment within the Golden Era. For at least two summers, rappers were rhyming with a derivative of the "stiggity -stutter grammar" style. #Salute
I’m only 19 years old and yet I still decided to purchase the three of Das EFX’s best selling albums, “Dead Serious”, “Straight Up Sewaside”, and “Hold It Down”. All three of these albums were worth the price and way better than a lot of other trashy albums that most millennials discover from TikTok.
