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

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.

this song was the first i'd heard of nicki minaj iirc

same.

me too I believe, then I listened to her mixtapes and liked them, then her first album dropped and I thought it was dumb and didn't really go back.

Lonely Island beat you all to the wacky grocery bag parodies in 2013

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2spvT0atvM

the first time i heard of nicki was when wayne said "i just signed a chick named nicki meen-aj" in "upgrade," and then first heard her via her verse on da drought 3's "can't stop, won't stop," but she wasn't credited on that, so i didn't realize it was her until she started bubbling up a couple years later.

Lonely Island obv ripped off this thread

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

I am listening to this song for the first time right now. Am wildly disappointed to hear that the goofy metaphors are not SHOUTED-OUT like they are in this thread.

lol I went on the same exact journey 11 years ago, according to my first post itt

there are still so many bad stevie wonder/ray charles/sight-related lyrics making their way into the ether unfortunately

They are the only two blind people to have ever lived

I’m the real heir, pretenders out of my throne
Andrea Bocelli, I can do this with my eyes closed

Getting my weight up
I’m Helen Keller to the hate
I’m sayin’, “What?, what?, what?”

Skillibeng has a new EP out and 3/5 of it are excellent.

Then there's the track with the lyric "I'm by your side / Love handles"
