Grammar:

• My criteria compared to your career just isn't fair

  ➔ Passive voice (is/are + past participle) used with comparative adjectives.

  ➔ The sentence uses the passive voice "is compared" and the comparative adjective "fair" to emphasize the unfairness of the comparison. "My criteria" is compared to "your career".

• If you can't beat 'em, then you pop 'em

  ➔ Conditional sentence type 1 (Zero Conditional variant). Implied: If you are unable to beat them...

  ➔ This is a conditional statement suggesting that if direct competition ("beat 'em") fails, then resort to violence ("pop 'em"). It implies the inability is a current reality or a very likely possibility.

• See, they say I'm rappin' like B.I.G., Jay, and 2Pac

  ➔ Reported speech with present continuous tense.

  ➔ "They say" introduces reported speech. "I'm rappin'" is the present continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action.

• Life ain't shit without me

  ➔ Double negative (informal). Uses the informal "ain't" for "is not" and "shit" as an equivalent for "nothing", thus a double negative expressing a strong positive.

  ➔ This is an example of colloquial language using a double negative to emphasize a strong statement. While grammatically incorrect in formal English, it effectively communicates the idea that life is meaningless without the speaker.

• I do what I do, and you do what you can do about it

  ➔ Emphasis using repetition, relative clause, and modal verb

  ➔ The repetition of "I do what I do" reinforces the speaker's unyielding actions. The "what you can do about it" acts as a challenge, highlighting the speaker's confidence and the listener's limited power to interfere. The modal "can" suggests limited ability.
