You can read about 1987 (and about the story Saul is telling through it) in The Dead Emcee Scrolls.

Williams is implying that this madman's ramblings offer us some kind of truth. That is, if we can hear them beyond the violent chatter of commercial rap (which he is satirizing, while showing us an alternative, altogether more poetic lyrical mode).

It's a dramatized conversation between 3 people; the narrator (who relates the dialogue to us), his friend/nigga, and a man they meet on the street (the 'new nigga on the block,' whom they think is a 'crazy muthafucka').
The song/poem juxtaposes two things: The first two men's raplyric lifestyles ('acid-wash Guess' and 'Gucci,' and at the end, the narcissistic refrain: 'we rock the party' etc.), and the third man's mad ('crazy') ramblings about an imagined Atlantis (some kind of utopia).

As far as I'm concerned, whatever you get out of this poem is what you're meant to understand. Sure Saul has a message within it and the more you listen the more pieces you'll begin to understand, but for the most part Saul writes these for himself so the message you hear is bound to be different from what Saul probably intended.
