Meaning

"Splackavellie" is a portmanteau, a blend of "Splack" and "Machiavelli." "Splack" is an onomatopœia originally used by 2 Live Crew in their song "Put Her in the Buck" as follows: "Lay the bitch on the bed, flat on her back, hold her legs up high, make the pussy splack." Machiavelli is frequently cited by hip-hop culture e.g., Tupac Shakur's former stage name, Makaveli. The pragmatic use of deceit and subsumption of personal identity referenced in the lyrics are decidedly Machiavellian.
