"
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"
