seen any pixx of him lately

you might be right deej

i think it's referring to sosa (& mcgwire) hitting a billion homers and revitalizing baseball

you might be right about this needing a shrimp post

oh i'm not even talking about the lame phrase-pause-punchline, even relying on similes in every other line grates on me
--vag gangsta (k3vin k.)

That's pretty known as "rap music"

i would like to point out that this was otm

i mean - people acting like 'no ceilings' isn't lazy & contemptible dogshit aren't too far off from thinking that there is dope wordplay in 'bedrock'

that's pretty

k3vib didn't you get into rap music thru coconut juice got me real loose stfu

no

anyway kevin isn't totally wrong -- the problem isn't the simile-simile style it's just that there haven't been many very good punchline rappers in forever, which is why like fabolous was the second most successful east coast rapper of the 2000s aside from jay-z

and which is why when ny-centric rap heads & press throw their weight behind people like papoose and saigon and juelz satnana and lloyd banks the rest of the country rolls their damn eyes

You know as much as you guys make fun of Slaughterhouse, those guys are basically just good punchline rappers

i didn't listen to the slaughterhouse record but i can confirm that joe budden is about as far from a "good" punchline rapper as can be possible with someone who has any sort of talent

I'd totally stan for the slaughterhouse album if the beats weren't lame as fuck

my problem with punchline rappers nowadays is that the songs date themselves so much bcuz those have pissing contests over who can get the most lines transcribed in the nah right comments section... so if you wanna enjoy a joe budden record that was put out 8 months ago you still have to able to lol at like taylor swift & kanye west

or you have to be ryan dombal so you can earnestly enjoy gudda gudda verses

budden's rss feed writing style is part of his problem but not the sum total, don't get that too twisted

this is even dumber and more reductive than when i was talking about how i like rappers to have personality and a sense of humor and you were all "you don't want rap, you want peanut butter jelly time internet memes"

ethan stanning for joe budden was one of the more o_O moments of my ilx autogoon lifetime

i rocked out to bedrock at the club last night and I couldn't stop thinking about this thread and giggling.

I f/w early Buddens.

i'm talking about mood muzik-era buddens

joell ortiz is by far the worst member of slaughterhouse. at least budden has personality

crooked i & esp royce are totally defensible

as a unit tho the group is corny

what is joe budden(s)'s personality

besides being a saddo

oh come on dude hes by far the most outlandish character in the group. i mean im letting his youtubes & shit get in the way too, & im not saying its a personality i admire or anything, but hes definitely got a style that suggests he acts a certain way

you're probably right, i'm not even sure why i even challenged you on such an inane subject -_-

lol

aw man, luda has two terrible ones in "my chick bad"

comin down the street like a parade... MACY'S/ i fill her up... BALLOONS

(yes those are back to back & you really need to hear how he does the second one to grasp how u_u it is)

nicki in the same song

it's going down... BASEMENT

I take karate at night so I can beat my wife...JAMES CAAN

what the fuck is wrong with you ludacris

"Two thumbs up.... EBERT AND ROEPER"

~ Drake, "Over"

rip gene siskel

haha the first time i heard that song all i could think about was how many grocery bag lines there were:

"bout to set it off in this bitch...JADA PINKETT!"
"i could teach you how to speak my language...ROSETTA STONE!"

So is this what is going on in rap these days? Like "A short sentence.... RELATED WORD!!"

I don't get this punchline from mimaj's verse on "lil' freak":

The girls want a Minaj yeah they wetter than the rainin
Usher buzz me in... EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND

never watched much ELR. do people... buzz him into their homes a lot?

i like these being termed as "grocery bag lines"

"bout to set it off in this bitch...JADA PINKETT!"

what does this even mean

is it saying jada pinkett is a bitch?

(o damn we're not sayin that word today)

lol was trying really hard to remember this because I heard it last night. just realized it's already been posted.

i would totally appreciate the line if it was

bout to set it off in this BITCH... KIMBERLY ELISE

so, anybody have any idea what the everybody loves raymond thing means?

usher's birth name = usher raymond

aaaaaaaaaah, thanks. :-)

my working theory was that it was a ref to this ep:

When Frank's late-night buzz sawing and Marie's persistent meddling bother the neighborhood, they meet with Ray to discuss how he'll inform his parents of their complaints.

also his new album is called Raymond Vs. Raymond

on the Minaj poll thread i was talking about how Big Tigger thought she was saying "everybody loves reindeer," which still cracks me up

haha -- even though that show is garbage, i would def respect nicki more if she had an encyclopedic knowledge of ELR episodes
