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

"hedgehog, sonic the" just sold a copy of this album

i can never find the "oh lord pac" thing to c&p when i need it

all the beats on this ive heard are like competent but not really anything i can imagine bumping over & over
like, even if you can put up w/ this rap style ..

i dont get this stuff, or drake, or why ppl think this stuff is so fresh. its so safe & watery & boring, running into first and yr butt's about to burst .... DIARRHEA

i've posted a ton of really genuinely great nicki verses in I'm Nicki Minaj, Nicki Lewinsky, Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie

i think she's realising that pulling wacky faces and doing dumb gobbledegook (as opposed to really great surrealist stuff) is selling her far more than her tougher, more menacing look - still got hope for her own album though

from here down I'm Nicki Minaj, Nicki Lewinsky, Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie

ohhhh lord 2pac big please talk to this sucker cause they killing hip hop they taking the pain and struggle of life of hip hop the only thing we coulda express our minds and pain. and these suckers took it and made it look like garbage thats why we get judge so much cause these shit dont be making sence

If all evidence you have of Nicki's greatness is this song, and the only thing you've ever heard of Gucci Mane's is that terrible one with Mario (they don't even play Wasted around here), I could definitely see being skeptical about Atlanta's recent exports.

When I was trying to convince Simon R that Rap has still got a lot of life in it this is not one of the songs I sent him. You can all blame me for that whole mess then if you like.

i mean the same shit, ashley and mary kate
sometimes i wish i was blind, MR RAY

i'm trying to think of old school examples of this and am coming up blank

I keep her running back and forth...SOCCER TEAM!!!

not going to listen to the song just in case the actual delivery of this line is less hilarious than how i'm imagining it

i mean, bad puns go back in hip-hop further than fat laces, but this weird disease of delivering the horribly formed "joke" without the courtesy of a "like I'm" or a "like a" is hella new.

There's gotta be an antecedent tho!

yeah, actually shipley made that one up since in the actual song it's delivered in classic hip-hop simile form

LIKE A soccer team

eh thats basically lil wayne's innovation i guess, i mean im sure someone did it
but what makes it so ugh is that its become the point of these songs, hammering them at you. they're not about anything else

i mean, i'm pretty sure dipset did it first and i would gladly point an example out to you if i were the type of internet pos(t)er who pretends dipset has memorable lines

to be fair this is much better than when a rapper says "GET IT" on a totally obvious pun.

although i think sir reggie noble has a "get it" that remains inscrutable to me to this day

thats basically what they're doing, though

like every line is delivered with a nudge to the ribs

we're getting really close to rap being Scary Movie 3 where people are just gonna start rapping the names of things in pop culture with no context or punchlines

i really hope nicki's album is more like this when it drops and less like "hedgehog, sonic the" or "...ASBESTOS!!!"

It's the loveliest, longest, lean---I call it the leanest
It's another five letter word rhymin' with cleanest, the meanest....PENIS!

"hedgehog, sonic the" is kind of dope

haha im saying

that's better but i really get annoyed at that exagerrated way she says shit like "waaaaaaayne" like sounds like a cross between a an american trying to sound like cockney chimney sweep and a valley girl or some shit

On this train
Will it always rain?
Try to analyze
This led venture
Songless sky, digital bug-eye
Octogonal seams so much clearer
Indiscrete, status incomplete
To provide me with
Something better

shit that was supposed to be on the voivod lyrics thread in case you thought i was posting lyrics from cannibal ox in the young money thread

lol

thx for clarifying that...OCTOGONAL SEAMS!!!

there's definitely a version where he says "like a" but i swear the one i usually hear in the video/on the radio there's just a pause between "forth" and "soccer"

there's two versions, ship's right.

of course, it's a bitch finding an embeddable version of the official video on youtube, but it's there

there's two versions, ship's right.

...TOO (two) CHEESY (cheeses)

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13810-we-are-young-money/

havent listened to the album aside from this turd, but it's rare that i disagree with evey single point a writer tries to make in a review.

havent gotten to the actual crit yet tho, if theres any

at least they fixed the front page blurb, which at one point said something like "in the spirit of Dipset, G-Side, and The Family," which until I read the review made me think it was some left field reference to the Prince proteges and not the group name nobody cared about Puff Daddy's No Way Out being credited to

yeah i didn't even bother posting about that blurb because of it's sheer wtfness

this song is more real than real... BAUDRILLARD

it might've been a rerun but i saw young money on mo'nique today, i really liked nicki minaj and one of the young dudes. i think he was called tiga tiga or something. nicki is so amazing looking and sweet.

oh and in the performance of this song weezy did say, " ... socccer team" and not "like a soccer team" and it was predictably not that hilarious.

lmbo @ the number of votes this poll got

this is totally speculative, but i think part of the problem with these guys may be that theyre trying to emulate wayne and rhyme off the top of the head. The best--him, jay, etc.--can pull it off or even thrive rhyming that way but i cant imagine anyone writing down the grocery bag line without immediately throwing it in the direction of the nearest trash bin.

on the other hand didnt drake "freestyle" on hot 97 while reading from a piece of paper?
