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

not rly a grocery bag tho

oh wait, i see

hey guys biz markie says he watched star wars just to see yoda in "just rhyming with biz" ca. 1987 but yoda didn't appear until empire strikes back what an asshole right lol

i don't think biz markie is an asshole AT ALL

don't rappers got factcheckers yo

"3 of us but we're not the Beatles" type rap reference errors could probably be its own thread, but obv. I was mainly singling out the Fab line for being grocery baggy, the mistake was just a bonus

has anyone else noticed Justin Timberlake adopting the classic YM simile style on the new Diddy/Wayne leak? his whole verse is full of sub-Gudda Gudda punchlines ("I'ma bend your body...MAGNETO," "Let me have my way...CARLITO," etc etc). Justin, you are better than this!

loool

oh mann

wtf on the Carlito line. he didn't have his way, Benny Blanco killed him!

congratulations to fabolous for being -- i believe -- the first grocery bag-using rapper to be quoted in a song by another rapper in grocery bag-style

in the new lil twist single ("little secret" ft bow wow, check LilTwistVEVO for more) twist says

you're so fabulous... LOSO

name-checked, not quoted

new Lil Wayne leaked. Bag-watch is on!

shoot you from your head to your shoulders... SHAMPOO

So pumped!!

"giving them the blues... BOBBY BLUE BLAND"

diamond solitaire on pinky

i would be able to report if big sean bagged it up but my body shuts down when he starts rapping

I just saw a stand-up comic do an extended set on grocery bag lines. he actually used "I got her... grocery bag" as the example of the form. Totally a scary real life/ILM intersecting moment.

haha awesome

links or it didn't happen

haha it's this first guy here: http://www.straight.com/article-346106/vancouver/standing-laughs

he did like five of his own "cause I put my shit together...IKEA" lines and then yelled about how it was shitty rap.

kanye on hot97

"We develop and change rap styles all together. Like, look at say the hashtag rap--that's what we call it when you take the 'like' or 'as' out of the metaphor. 'Flex, sweater red--firetruck.' Everybody raps like that, right? That's really spawned from like 'Barry Bonds': 'Here's another hit--Barry Bonds.' So even like when I sat with Nicki Minaj in Hawaii, I was like, for this album, particularly--and I still like that, that style is super fresh--but this album, we not even doing similes. It's just a series of statements. We get on some real push the culture forward--I think that's the biggest reason 'Power' took me like five thousand man hours to sit there and write it."

took me like five thousand man hours to sit there and write it.

uh

just in case you thought the nicki minaj album was going to contain good rapping

did he write it himself in 5000 hours or did he get 5000 people to write it in 1 hour?

^ racist

you forgot to add "lol"

whoa "hashtag rap" kind of blew my mind for a sec there though tbh.

yeah "hashtag rap" is kind of a fresh way to label it but it feels backwards since that stuff existed totally apart from Twitter (although i love Fab actually saying "#drizzyvoice" on the Chris Brown remix).

Kanye really shouldn't brag about how long he took to write a song that has "AWstin...POWERS" and "abomination of obama's nation" in it.

srsly
