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

my wrist so chilly...ITS SPICY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwDMDved0DE

^^^ featuring "Hedgehog, Sonic The" and all manner of other sluggish Young Money mediocrity. Dunno if this got mentioned already but the next lines after the Sonic thing are:

So could you pass me the keys to the Tonica
I mean Tonka, That's the truck bitches
Fuck you and fuck all of you fuck bitches

somebody actually did the wrist so chilly it's spicy, didn't they? gucci?

uh

huh

haha, it's funny to be bragging about killing time

always thought that line was pretty obviously like, killing time in bed, wasting the day away fuckin etc

Lines from the new Ludacris single, "My Chick is Bad":

"Couple girlfriends and they all a lil' crazy / comin' down the street like a parade... MACY'S"

and the amazing

"I fill 'er up... BALLOONS!"

then, from guest Nicki Minaj,

"It's going down... BASEMENT!"

Nicky Minaj seems to be making an aggressive bid for media saturation - I saw yesterday that she has a video with Mariah Carey. We could be thrilling to "Hedgehog, Sonic the" followups for years to come!

this thread was really funny but just with the rap music i'd been listening to lately i hadn't heard many of these kind of these "I keep her running back and forth...SOCCER TEAM!!!" type lines but i was just listening to some recent juelz santana track and it had the line "still making money off the white girl ... FERGIE!"

Just awful.

that one is actually funny

haha totally

i think i just can't help but find that construction lame. Like if there were a few extra words instead of the ellipsis i'd be happy for whatever reason.

oh no the construction is totally lame and hacky...but the fergie line is still a really good use of it and pretty sharp for a hack of juelz's magnitude

there's a good jae millz one on "new shit"

young money wolverines bitch... NO MICHIGAN

nicki on "fuck da bullshit"

i get it wetter than a navy seal... VETERAN

that looks awful

ever since this thread ive been paying more attention to this construction and it's way more prevalent than i thought it was

xp

wayne on "fuck da bullshit"

they say the blacker the berry
the redder the cherry
i say the sweeter it is, ya dig... BURY

ever since this thread ive been paying more attention to this construction and it's way more prevalent than i thought it was

that's because drake/wayne/young money are always on the radio

this song features Wayne saying "I been runnin' this shit...BLISTERS!!" and "I know the game...ANALYST!!!"

these to me are the worst to date that don't even have grocery bag-style unintentional entertainment value

yeah but even with rappers i like too. i mean it's not surprising, it's just one of those things you notice a lot more when you're listening for it. i know i'm not stating anything we don't all agree with but it's a godawful trend

xp

i dont think gucci does it a lot tho

yeah "4 my town" is awful

i can't think of an example of gucci doing this

i don't think it's the construction so much as the particularly lazy use young money make of it that amuses/annoys. that juelz santana single w/the fergie line is really excellent (it's the one on yelawolf's mixtape right?) and that's a good line anyway. i really like the luda/minaj single too, and am v much pro-minaj saturation.

tyga on "roger that" (next single iirc)

i jack son, bitch... TITO

that might have unintentional comedy value tho

gudda gudda on "finale"

anybody in my way... ROADKILL

jae millz on "finale"

it's about to get real ugly... OMAROSA

jae millz on "finaly"

we done changed the way the game look... SAMMY SOSA

oh i'm not even talking about the lame phrase-pause-punchline, even relying on similes in every other line grates on me

tyga tyga on "finale"

money over weight, bitch... ROSEANNE

i don't listen to these kids man... GROWN MAN

nicki minaj on "finale"

you at the bottom of the pole... TOTEM

like lamar odom i ball... SCROTUM

lol what does the sammy sosa one mean even mean

is this all in the same song ?

you are seriously listening to this whole album?

youtube son

and yeah i guess but it's investigative journalism imo

is this all in the same song ?

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

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
