Watching face means biting, ripping off, copying, catting someone else's style. So if you boast to 'not watch no face' you are proclaiming your uniqueness.
questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

'Whose the boy who wears one-away clothes'?
What a great derivation - from one-off unique vocals to a more general sense of uniqueness.

party record with a siren
I always knew "one-away" as another term for dubplate (or, at least, a version of a track that only exists on a dubplate / cdr, made for a special occasion) - i.e. something fresh and new, but also disposable.
So "one away clothes" would be a t shirt / pair of trainers you wear once and throw away / never wear again.

Always assumed the pulse X vocal sample says "musical mob put that on a map".
With hindsight you could say that musical mob put grime on the map, but I cant imagine they had that big an opinion of their productions when they were first in the studio way back then

Let's Talk About Ceps
When I was in high school some mates of mine were planning a fairly typical British teenagers' trip to Amsterdam and one of them said something about 'rock cafes', i.e. cafes where rock music is performed or played (perhaps differentiated from clubs/pubs in that smokeable green stuff is available behind the bar, I don't know). Anyway, I assumed it meant cafes where you could smoke rock cocaine.
It's funny how there's a certain sort of naivety that makes you assume things are far more salacious/illicit/illegal than they actually are.
maybe its something to do with rockers riddim?
Thanks, that sounds plausible. Now I don't have to mumble through when I'm doing my best beat box pulse X impression

I can almost accuratly say (if it hasn't been answered already) that when a tune is 'rinsed' it has been lashed to the extent of not being likable anymore..i.e overplayed, over hyped, and thus lost it's appeal...
maybe this is reading far too much into it, but i thought it was some sort of prometheus reference - like he's being tortured, persecuted, that sort of thing
big tune!

I quite like the extrapolations, such as 'Yeah it was a good weekend but i rinsed myself a bit excessively'.

phone natile see what she sez...
naaaah blud I dont wanna rinse it, you get me?!
naaaah blud I dont wanna rinse it, you get me?!
yeh but as i understand it its slightly more complicated... firstly there is another positive meaning... for example if a dj 'rinses it' then they have done a very good job
also as i see it if a dj rinses a tune then it doesn't necessarily mean to the point of ennui, just that they have been playing it a lot
but it can mean to the point of ennui, it all depends on intonation, context etc
oh ive just seen that this has already been said upthread, apologies

sure, "holler with the rinsing sound"
rinsed used in that context is not my thing. good thing about slang isnt it, that it is generally made up and interchangable within meaning...good to change up a few letters while your at it, REnSKed it! Ransked it!! Ronsked it, create your own sound type of thing.. 'was all good until that ratty sketty doggy sket bitch came in and started rensking it out?'

There is quiet broad meaning for sure - cos a rinse-out has to be a good thing surely.
