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

Been runnin' on empty... JACKSON BROWNE
But now my boys Thin Lizzy... BACK IN TOWN

Gonna get the Led out...JIMMY PAGE
Won't do what you tell me...AGAINST THE MACHINE, RAGE

this was such a sad period for rap

Home school, my kids safe... SEED BANK
Young money, get over it... SHARK TANK

Been runnin' on empty... JACKSON BROWNE
But now my boys Thin Lizzy... BACK IN TOWN

lollllll

Gudda tapes classics like Zapruder... FAKED
Own wiki didn't know you last year... DRAKE'D

Wiki don't know all the tapes I was really on / Speedy deleted, Gonzalez... ELIAN

... okay I think that's enough of that until the Young Money nostalgia-wave hits in 2030

so this thread is cited on rapgenius

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"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbPnSf-nqO4

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

so this thread is cited on rapgenius

lol wow i'm so influential

ha ha I was carrying my baby around in a Trader's Joe's bag today saying "Grocery bag!"

just fyi i think the "grocery bag" line is referring to the fact that grocery bags "got" things, inside them

still lolling

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.

It's just an obtuse way of saying "bag her like groceries" Future/Jeezy, that's all

I know this must sound crazy to you now but honestly..... that's just not things it worked in 2010

it's kinda depressing that no one thought

I knock her lights out, but she still shine (Lil Wayne)

was the most casually horrible line on this thing

Yeah, I thought that. Not seen this thread before tho.

i think ppl probably assumed its about sex & not intimate partner violence but idk

swallowed it hook, line, & singer... DRAKE

to truly unlock teh funnay, it is v.important that you picture Drake like so:

yes, your year-old meme is hilarious

The entire first real track ("Shooter") on the new Clipping EP is built around the "...grocery bag" punchline structure.

"call me automatic weezy, I keep spitting" <<< simpler times for figurative language

Kill at Will? Solid water? Ice Cube!
