Yo, there was this guy long time ago, you know, called C.J. Caesar MC, and he was, like, worried that the Man would steal his secretz, 'namean?, so he came up with this gimmick where he wrote something on a piece of dead skin, how gross is that?, man, but if you had read it it wouldn't have made no sense, but if you had known HOW to read it, then hell yeah, lotsa sense there... than his buddy later called this thingamajig ROT-13 or some such nerdy word, and then lotsa other guys did the same, but more powerful...
