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

5. also the way drake emerges to deliver his fucking "sushi roll" line is really up there with the bieber cold open for me

here's the spring break performance for those that are interested

http://content.onsmash.com/archives/35391

"i'm a red bull/ now let's fly away" is an underrated dogshit punchline in this song -- what is gudda gudda even insinuating by saying he's a red bull? that's not even something to really aspire to

i can't drake & minaj still do performances with these clowns

believe*

wow, that has to be the most annoying minaj performance ever? it's like she's in the fembot stage right before they spontaneously combust

also, i'm not totally sure that she has the right idea of what sideburns actually are, cuz she drags her finger across her upper lip.

hahahahah the mtv censor ppl bleeping out "coming off the top" -- what could that even mean in a sexual context??

6. the hypemen chiming in on "I'm Gudda Gudda" really makes me wonder if really, aren't we all Gudda Gudda

yeah i was gonna say, the one respect in which the spring break one tops the Monique performance is Nicki -- it's like in the 2 months or whatever between those performances you can totally chart her shark jump into complete absurdity

yeah it's absurd

Tell that bitch to eat her heart out... kano

^suprised forks didn't jump on that one

tell mister spacely that it's time to jet, son

this song is top 10 in the uk now :(

...JEDWARD

7. if you listen closely you can hear someone scream at 2:10

pretty sure i've liked rap songs with similarly bad punchlines, i think what makes this so much worse is how slow and drawn out it is. like i feel like i can count the amount of brain cells activated per second.

well the song is super annoying -- lloyd is terrible on the hook and that beat is just ugh

i'm serious about the scream btw, it's pretty hilarious you should check it out

i will cop to liking bedrock a lot, mostly because of lloyd and that plinka plinka plinka plinka plinka plinka plinka plinka

you're the worst

oh hipster puddy

aw man, luda has two terrible ones in "my chick bad"

comin down the street like a parade... MACY'S/ i fill her up... BALLOONS

(yes those are back to back & you really need to hear how he does the second one to grasp how u_u it is)

god i just facepalm every time i hear "i fill her up -- balloons!"

i think that might be the worst one ever because a. it doesn't rhyme b. it's impossible not to sound like a huge ponce when shouting "balloons"

"i fill her up" is a pretty terrible phrase as far as sex raps go too

putting your dick in a balloon is neveragl

my song bad
my song not good
my song say stuff that no decent song would

baloons rhymes with "guns get drawn like cartoons"

but yeah it's gross

For what it's worth (it's not worth anything), the guy is clearly saying "...grocery bagged." Which makes a tiny bit more sense.

no way

I'd like to take this moment to point out Drake's weird mannerism of pointing down+sideways. Why does he do this? What is he pointing at?

The "Say Something" video is a varitable down+sidewayspolooza

RE: "grocery bag"; I believe the line is "and I got her nigga.... grocery bagged."
I think he's saying she's ready to go. This in no way diminishes the stupidity of this line.

is there a thread on the young money album

we are listening to it at work today. spoiler: it is not very good

I knew it had been said before (by you), I just felt like people kept refusing to acknowledge this! (xx-post)

the idea of calling this "grocery bag rap" tickles me to no end

imo the finger pointing is actually one of Drake's less annoying tics, the thing where he constantly holds out an open palm and shakes it is way weirder

and yeah, it's pretty clearly "bagged" but I certainly understand why it's more enjoyable to pretend that's not the case.

i dunno i just never heard it that way or saw it transcribed that way -- anyone have an a cappella? we need to get to the bottom of this.

not conclusive, but c'mon. he's rhyming it with "know she bad".

unrelated but

i'm gonna refrain from posting his other videos but whooooo boy

my roommate brought back a puppy, and one of its chew toys is a grocery bag

maybe i should've posted that to "too much time on ilx" idk

Is this whole garbage bag phenomenon Dipset's fault? It feels like it is or at least should be.

Oh, looks like that specter has already been raised.

i remember being on the subway in like 2004-2005 and hearing two girls loudly arguing about whether cam'ron was a good rapper. And one of the girls used this line as an example of why he is lousy .

She put her foot on my balls... Now it's a football

Although I've found no evidence of this line actually existing, it still tickles me, and seems like the mid-00s version of this convo.

craziest part of that is your addiction was apparently so bad, you'd hallucinate when you were "on the subway".
