the implication is obvious -- it's still a remarkably terrible line

As with all grocery bag rap, the problem is that it doesn't go anywhere or do anything beyond the one line. Like, if anything else in the verse had to do with groceries it would almost feel like this cleverly built up punchline that you don't even see coming until it's like, haha, this was all leading up to the grocery bag! Brilliant!
Along similar lines, I think an opportunity was missed here to do more with the Flintstones theme....like at least one of these shmoes should have been going on about, like, "I be wearing boulders / all you got is Fruity Pebbles"... or, I mean, that Wayne, for some reason trying to find a way to refer to the fact that he makes his girl run back and forth, goes with "soccer team" instead of, like, "She wanna leave, but she won't go far / she be running out of breath...FRED FLINTSTONE CAR!!!!" I mean that needs some work cause I just came up with it in thirty seconds but I feel like that's more time than these guys spent on their verses so hey.

Funny because I figured it was part of the whole "THERE'S NO GOOD POP FOR US TO RALLY AROUND ANYMORE" dialogue around Pazz and Jop time which ppl used as a shitty excuse for putting "Girls" songs in the top 10. This is not good pop, and that's coming from a guy who listens to Katy Perry.

Drake is the guy you get drinks with who talks about himself for a few hours-- if you're lucky, he might ask you for advice on one or two things. But this is OK because Drake's stories are better than yours. Like the one about how Lil Wayne befriended and signed him at the height of Weezy's powers. Or how he got with Rihanna last year. Or that time he flashed from a Toronto has-been to a top-flight hit maker off the strength of a self-released mixtape. Of course, there's the classic about sipping a few too many glasses of Ace of Spades and asking Nicki Minaj to marry him. Sounds like a sweet existence.
This is a very telling paragraph.

His relatively progressive and gentlemanly style is contagious, too; on the soon-to-be smash "Fancy", T.I. ditches the "superficial gold-digging bitches" he once praised on songs like "Whatever You Like", instead opting for a single lady with her own BMW and Jaguar in the garage.
that's a real big "relatively" there.
