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

this is the curse of the event album

totally

i couldnt make it thru one song tbh

royce can sorta pull these types of punchlines off in a way i don't hate

So can T.I.

yeah

i guess i'm basically just saying "i like it when awesome rappers rap than when shitty rappers rap"

poll

No.

so drake has now disowned grocery bag rap punchlines apparently, or something

Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. (Laughs) I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, “I shut ‘em down. Onyx.” I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there ... Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on “Forever.” Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They’re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don’t want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. They go like “It’s a parade! MACY’S!”

drake + wayne - we invented teh punchline vol. 1

no no apparently it was jay sean

drake thinks a biiiiiiit too highly of himself but otherwise is extremely otm

lol @ drake shitting on ludacris

i wonder how he feels about "it's going down... BASEMENT"

kevin, calling drake otm there is like calling a serial killer who shows remorse during his trial "otm"

I think with it's a parade... macys is a nice way of calling out Luda for I blow em up.... ¡balloons!

On phone so didn't see xpost

calling his "forever" verse dope is as offensive as racism to me

I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on “Forever.” Those lines just all individually make so much sense.

YOU HAVE A "PUNCHLINE" IN YOUR VERSE THAT GOES "If I WAS IN THE CLUB, YOU KNOW I'D BALL/ CHEMO"

it's "I balled", which makes more sense but is still totally rmde

i don't get it

balled = bald

it's rather oblique, yeah

good god

The comments in that savage column are this OMG BRAGGIN 2010 faux-naïveté bullshit like "Ive never heard ANY of these songs" and "WHO IS THIS 'Katie Perry'" which is like cool Internet post-millenial white-boy version of "I don't even OWN a tv" v. 2.0

wrong thread imo

wrong thread in fact too

man i fucking hate drake

I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it.

UGH FFFFFTHHHHH DIE

lol @ drake shitting on ludacris

I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it.

UGH FFFFFTHHHHH DIE

lol both otm. love that http://2new4u.com/Downloads/wp-content/uploads/drake.jpg is implying that Ludacris is someone who is too lyrically inexperienced to handle such an ~innovative rap trend~

fwiw luda's delivery on the "balloons" line makes me lol so much that I will always give it a free pass.

yeah, i'll gladly take GROCERY BAG and BALLOONS, which i can sort of enjoy just because they're silly, over the SUPER SERIOUS drake lines. he's like a swagger black hole.

he's some kind of hole, that's for sure

is it a butt? seems like a butthole.

make it rhyme

"I'm full of shit and I stink... OPINION!"

http://www.malcolm-france.com/images/illustrations/casting_abekenarban.jpg

"it's going down / 9-11". stay classy bawse.

lol at m@tt

xp ok i'm not crazy

the thing that pisses me off about that "yo we murderers, cuz we kill time" lyric is that it's the inverse of a much more creative Big L punchline which uses the same phrase as an insult:

"The crown is still mine
Cuz I drop ill rhymes
A lot of rappers talk murder
But couldn't kill time"

oh wow guys

Oh girl, we bonin this bitch, she gon' hurl
Two n*****s and just one bitch... LUCY PEARL

N.O.R.E. from "Nahmeanuheard (Remix)"...

released in 2002

The rosetta stone of grocery bag rap, folks

damn

hahaha NORE!! it all makes sense

i like how the reference even dates itself

that record has like 20 Oz references too

"I could move through a room full of vultures nice
and I still turn heads...POLTERGEIST!"

-Fabolous on RichGirl's "Swagger Right," which is especially terrible because the movie he's thinking of is The Exorcist, not Poltergeist

oooof
