Scemi is an informal, somewhat derogatory term meaning "idiots" or "fools." It's a common slang word in Italian, particularly among younger generations.
In Sfera Ebbasta's song, he uses it to dismiss his rivals and their crew, singing "La tua crew, tutti scemi" (Your crew, all idiots). It's a direct and impactful way to express disdain and assert his own perceived superiority within the rap scene.
In "Tutti Scemi," Italian trap artist Sfera Ebbasta paints a vivid picture of his life, contrasting his tough upbringing with his current success. He describes a world of fast living, new clothes, and avoiding trouble, summed up in the clever line: "Sogno catene, evito catene" (I dream of chains [jewelry], I avoid chains [handcuffs]). He and his friends are "Bravi ragazzi nei brutti quartieri" (Good guys in bad neighborhoods), but they dress like they're from wealthy areas, turning heads wherever they go.
The song is a direct challenge to those who pretend to understand his struggle. Sfera draws a clear line between himself and people from privileged backgrounds, stating, "Tuo padre i soldi ce li ha, io un papà non ce l'ho" (Your father has money, I don't have a dad). The title, which means "All Idiots," is a direct insult to his rivals. He dismisses their crew as fools ("La tua crew, tutti scemi") and their weed as low-quality ("La tua kush, tutti semi"), repeatedly asking them, "Che problemi hai?" (What problems do you have?), questioning the authenticity of their hardships.
