Revision as of 08:11, 7 October 2020
Template:Infobox song "Dialate" is a song from the Xero days that is included in the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary release. The title is a misspelling of "Dilate". The song was debuted on SiriusXM's "Turbo" (channel 41) on October 5, 2020 when it was temporarily converted into "Linkin Park Radio" to celebrate the anniversary of the album.[1][2]
Background
Mike Shinoda raps under the moniker Kenji. The only other known song where he uses the name is "Drop" from Rapology 13. According to him, he decided to stop using it because too many people heard it as "Ken G".[3]
The song contains a vocal sample of Method Man from his song "Meth vs. Chef". Since the sampled track was produced by RZA and features Raekwon, they are also credited for "Dialate". All of them are Wu-Tang Clan members.

Lyrics
Crack the bullet proof vest on a MC's chest
Yes, yes to make it sweat like a full court press
On a quest to show my flow's control
The movement of the masses of bodies at a hip hop show
From the high to low
Feel the audio rain as the blood in your veins
Pump to this rhythm while the beat maintains sub-terrestrial status
King of the lyrical amplifying apparatus
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
Step back, I feel my personal space is violated
The heat in my mind makes my pupils dilated
Don't test this or you'll see ??? bestest(?)
Check this ??? from your chest
Break your neck, feel it happen
As a rapper you can feel your every bone snapping
You deserve it, feel the force of my fire
Cut me loose ??? like telephone wire
Just tryin'a
Style against me, the kenji
Try your best, no less
Just then you will see
??? the middle block o' metal
Kenji heaven sent represent the next level
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Fucker, I think it's 'bout time that you suffer
Spine grab
Pitch down now you ???
Little kids ???
Just be ready to test your set
Emergency broadcast
No I'm not dead yet
Spine grab
Pitch down now you ???
Little kids ??? clockwise
Just be ready to test your set
Emergency broadcast
No, I'm not dead yet
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
I meant what I say now
Connect one, dilate and play it down
