It's an old school diss

High ping bitch/baby

I was one of the first LPB (low ping bastard). Back in the 90s, some servers would just flat out ban you if you were one or the other. I was very competitive in Quake/Halflife/Counterstrike and even had a shirt with the Ethernet symbol and LPB under it. I fucking loved that shirt.

I was i.am/zzottt if anyone remembers the first days of Counterstrike
