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

seriously can't tell if you guys are making these up or not

just listened to a track from the last Fab tape that ends with the groaner "I bring death to em...NO HEARING LOSS"

oooof

wooow

D:

oh my god track 4 is the fucking best. i'm getting crunk in here tbh

Waste removal, we dispose brothers
Embarrassing the family, Keyshia Cole mother

cyhi da prince has a terrible one in the bet 'cypher'

my money long... LANKY

thats also bitten from gucci lol

money long, pockets stupid-lanky

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

wait how did fab say #drizzyvoice out loud

well he didn't pronounce the hashtag but quoting a rapper and then going #soandsovoice is a big twitter thing

fab is generally charming & funny enough irl to pull of just about anything in his raps imo

gotta admit that "you and all them white girls...PARTY OF FIVE" is the first Drake grocery bag to really crack me up

some dude isn't wearing his deodorant... SUGGEST BAN

Despite the huge long Drake album derail in the middle, this thread still always makes me smile.

there really should be a tag added to the end of the title, something like (rolling 'grocery bag sighting' thread)

Better than Drake:
souljaboytellem
asher roth
Tech9
Rob Base

WTF

you would argue that tech9 is worse than drake?

No, just that he's a million times better than any of the other three people he's grouped with. then again I realize I must be the sole ILX Tech N9ne fan.

underappreciated classic:

thumbs up... balloons, down... basement
siskel & ebert, roeper... replacement

Kanye stans so thirsty they'll drink whatever offbrand Dr. Rocket soda they can get their hands on

― some dude, Tuesday, June 15, 2010 1:57 PM (6 months ago) Bookmark

dang now I want a soda

Drake=more like rap nutrasweet. Of my female friends who dislike rap as a whole, many of them like Drake.

i like tech9, just was aware that most folks don't

ahhhh

lol

shipley is def the MVP of this thread

one of my pet theories about the Gudda line was that it was "I got a ni**a: Grocery Bag," and Grocery Bag was actually the name of some 4th tier Young Money weed carrier who'd drop verses on Gudda Gudda mixtapes.
