droppin' plates

"Droppin' Plates" refers to records, when used by the recording industry. Droppin' a plate means either throwing a record down on a turntable or taunting with gold records. "Dub plates" are commonly used by DJ's as a one-off copy for their own use. Though mostly used in Reggae, Hip-Hop or Dance Hall music, they're used in virtually any genre.

In summary, it means throwing down records.

"Wew Here we go again, get up
A little somethin' for your earhole, get up
baring a part of my soul again, get up
Disturbed in the house, were droppin' plates"
"Gonna fight the war
And use my music as a weapon"

droppin rakes

A diss directed towards the GD's (Gangster Disciples). The GD's use the "rake" or a pitchfork as one of their symbols, therefore "droppin rakes" is a diss towards them. Often times it is their rival gang, the Black Disciples, who use the term. There is also a hand sign that is formed with the pointer finger, thumb, and middle finger to represent a rake that can be thrown down ( upside down) to diss them.

Those GD's think we playin but we really out here droppin rakes.
