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

#surfboard is a different sort of hashtag lyric but obv a better one than most

totally embarrassed i forgot to add beyonce...guestlist fail

I form coherent thoughts, no Gudda Gudda

giggling at this today, man, this thread was good times

coming up on 5 year anniversary of this single this fall

I kinda feel like if I voted today, I'd go with "Stevie Wonder" even though it's far from the worst pun here cos I feel like rappers these days think there are only two blind celebrities in the entire world...

what, "no Andrea Bocelli" woulda been too hard to rhyme?

This is a fun thread to read through. Five years. Fuck.

I like this album lol, although this track not so much. Wayne was on fire with the hooks at this time though

still hear this on the radio a lot

it would've been hysterical if that awful new Young Money album contained a "Bedrock 2" by the 2014 YMCMB roster

love randomly hearing this out in the wild

"I like the way you're movin' if you're movin' my way" is a very underrated piece of nonsense

hahaha i have a special affection for this song too

holy crap there are over a thousand posts itt

ha I totally react more fondly to this song now than when it was out

Haha yay

There's a link to this thread in the rap genius post on grocery bag

http://rapgenius.com/10506/Young-money-bedrock/And-i-got-her-nigga-grocery-bag

He’s saying he’s got her like a grocery bag, also, he leaves the word ‘like’ out because leaving the word ‘like’ out of a simile is called a ‘grocery bag’ rhyme.

Oh my god, it's folded in on itself... GROCERY BAG

feels like revives of this thread should come with a national holiday

(because I want to ditch work & re-read the whole thing)

has anyone published it as a book yet?

I volunteer to compile the index

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

No lie, I was going around the other day like, "Shit, what was that garbage Lil Wayne line about 'She put her (X) on my (Y), now it's a (X+Y)'?"

I feel like several ilxors posted in those comments, cuz I refuse to believe anybody else called these "grocery bags"!

Noisey: Kind of jumping off of that when I bring your name up most casual listeners know you from that Grocery Bag line on “Bed Rock.” Has that line defined you? Or haunted you in a way?

Gudda Gudda: How can that haunt me? It can’t ever haunt me. That was the biggest song I’ve ever been on in my life. I made the most money I ever made from that song. That can’t, that don’t define me at the end of the day. Like I said that’s bandwagon motherfuckers that hear these type of songs and form an opinion from that. I got bodies of work. How can you define me from one verse? That ain’t possible. I got classic tapes. Listen. My shit is documented. That verse don’t define me at all. That might have been the biggest song I ever been on commercially. But that shit don’t define me.

biggest song he's ever been on in his life, yet two years ago his Wikipedia page was deleted for 'not being noteworthy' (sadly it's back up now)

my shit is documented

Idk who gave Gudda Gudda the notion that he has "classic tapes", but he swallowed it hook, line, & singer... DRAKE

I remember going into FYE seeing stacks upon stacks of Gudda Gudda mixtapes and wondering just who the fuck was demanding them

wtf lol FYE
are you for real?

When was this

anytime between 2010 - 2012 (prior to the one nearest me closing). I remember wondering to myself if he got big after Bedrock or something yet I kept looking online and couldn't find much chatter on ANY of the mixtapes. and yet every FYE I go to here, there are at least ten mix cds in a rack specially devoted to Gudda Gudda.

haven't been in the rap section of FYE in a while so hopefully they finally got rid of em (like who is buying mixtapes anyway in the datpiff age)

lol this was the one I saw all the time

apologies btw if this has been pointed out already but

so is 'examples of rappers loving will farrell'

holy shit Andy Grammer's grocery bag on this song:
"I'm singin' hallelujah/ when you touch me/ hallelujah/ Jeff Buckley"

I'm not clicking that. But I thank you for doing the lord's work by bumping this thread

... which reminds me: over christmas I had my wisdom teeth out & my mom bought me a lot of Kozy Shack™ brand pudding, which I enjoyed riffing on in my drugged-out stupor, e.g.

I'll take you to the Kozy Shack™
I'll let you lick the grocery bag
Keep going to the Kozy Shack™
Watch out! here comes a ghost attack

much as i love queen's speech, it is chockablock with this construction.

is that the sequel to The King's Speech
