most pathetic excuse for wordplay in Young Money's "Bedrock"

on the rmx of 'mixin up the medicine' on trunk muzik juelz does this: 'you wanna get loud you get blasted...BOOMBOX' - still less embarrassing than any of the ones in this poll imo

I Race For Your Love, Shake And Bake... RICKY BOBBY

^^^should have been an option

that one's relatively subtle by the song's standards, though, and doesn't have an awkward pause. would have to be more like "i race for your love...FORMULA ONE!!!"

gotta be the asbestos

there's gotta be a beastie boys song where they do this

the first person that discovers any pre-2000 example of this wins a prize

The closest I can get is "You Be Illin'" which is really just a factor of cadence rather than an actual example.

i mean i have a thousand examples of the cadence

the first person that discovers any pre-2000 example of this wins a prize

No soap ... RADIO!!!

'He say my pussy pretty / just like it's show art / He make my pussy sing / "aaaaaa" like it's Mozart / And when he taps it / I make my pussy fart / I'm such an actress/ Melissa Joan Hart'

- Nicki Minaj

Not from this song or album, true, but just... yeah.

i gotta say i gave a lil lol at "melissa joan hart"

thats a good line lmao

yeah rhyming that with "I make my pussy fart" is pretty incredible

although "I make my pussy talk" would've made for a better reference to Sabrina The Teenage Witch

haha

al should probably be ghostwriting for these dudes. you could be the next Skillz

dont worry if i write checks -- i write rhymes!!!

a few of my display names have been optioned by rappers, but i signed a non-disclosure agreement so i won't say which or who

jay leno bought a few

and look at him now

K***** S******* is "Call me Mr.Flinstone I can make your bed rock "!!!!!! best line ever !!1

mozart wasn't really known for his singing

I think "now we murderers, because we kill time," while not the most pathetic excuse for wordplay, kind of summarizes the problems with the song pretty well. "Well, this hook is going to take us to the top of the charts no matter what, just say whatever in between, it'll be fine."

haha, it's funny to be bragging about killing time

because we hang out... LAUNDRY

my wrist so chilly...ITS SPICY

^^^ featuring "Hedgehog, Sonic The" and all manner of other sluggish Young Money mediocrity. Dunno if this got mentioned already but the next lines after the Sonic thing are:

So could you pass me the keys to the Tonica
I mean Tonka, That's the truck bitches
Fuck you and fuck all of you fuck bitches

somebody actually did the wrist so chilly it's spicy, didn't they? gucci?

uh

huh

haha, it's funny to be bragging about killing time

always thought that line was pretty obviously like, killing time in bed, wasting the day away fuckin etc

Lines from the new Ludacris single, "My Chick is Bad":

"Couple girlfriends and they all a lil' crazy / comin' down the street like a parade... MACY'S"

and the amazing

"I fill 'er up... BALLOONS!"

then, from guest Nicki Minaj,

"It's going down... BASEMENT!"

Nicky Minaj seems to be making an aggressive bid for media saturation - I saw yesterday that she has a video with Mariah Carey. We could be thrilling to "Hedgehog, Sonic the" followups for years to come!

this thread was really funny but just with the rap music i'd been listening to lately i hadn't heard many of these kind of these "I keep her running back and forth...SOCCER TEAM!!!" type lines but i was just listening to some recent juelz santana track and it had the line "still making money off the white girl ... FERGIE!"

Just awful.

that one is actually funny

haha totally

i think i just can't help but find that construction lame. Like if there were a few extra words instead of the ellipsis i'd be happy for whatever reason.

oh no the construction is totally lame and hacky...but the fergie line is still a really good use of it and pretty sharp for a hack of juelz's magnitude

there's a good jae millz one on "new shit"

young money wolverines bitch... NO MICHIGAN

nicki on "fuck da bullshit"

i get it wetter than a navy seal... VETERAN

that looks awful

ever since this thread ive been paying more attention to this construction and it's way more prevalent than i thought it was

xp

wayne on "fuck da bullshit"

they say the blacker the berry
the redder the cherry
i say the sweeter it is, ya dig... BURY

ever since this thread ive been paying more attention to this construction and it's way more prevalent than i thought it was

that's because drake/wayne/young money are always on the radio

this song features Wayne saying "I been runnin' this shit...BLISTERS!!" and "I know the game...ANALYST!!!"

these to me are the worst to date that don't even have grocery bag-style unintentional entertainment value

yeah but even with rappers i like too. i mean it's not surprising, it's just one of those things you notice a lot more when you're listening for it. i know i'm not stating anything we don't all agree with but it's a godawful trend

xp

i dont think gucci does it a lot tho

yeah "4 my town" is awful

i can't think of an example of gucci doing this

i don't think it's the construction so much as the particularly lazy use young money make of it that amuses/annoys. that juelz santana single w/the fergie line is really excellent (it's the one on yelawolf's mixtape right?) and that's a good line anyway. i really like the luda/minaj single too, and am v much pro-minaj saturation.

tyga on "roger that" (next single iirc)

i jack son, bitch... TITO

that might have unintentional comedy value tho
