GOON CONFESSIONS: itt admit when you have to ask google about a rap lyric

i had to google who Big Meech was when "BMF" came out

two recent ones that i can think of off the top of my head

- last year i couldn't infer the meaning of "plug" & asked deej
- i know this isn't the same thing but i assume mianj's use of ".380" was a number of some sort of car as opposed to a gun

this isn't really that herbish but i'm always googling shit that ends up being a rims brand or some shit -- one i can think of right now is "lowenharts"

This is basically me at all times. I like to think that self-awareness of herbishness is a mitigating factor though.

waka got me to street view "grove st atalanta, ga"

some Rick Ross song where he mentions drinking rose wine. Rose is gangsta now? that shit is for little girls. wtf

haha shakey i made a post about that somewhere on ilm, let me try & find it

rappers have been all on fruity (literally, figuratively) drinks for a while now -- hypnotiq, nuvo etc

yeah i find the rosé thing totally perplexing

http://www.playahata.com/images/celebpics/obama_ghetto_pass.jpg

"no hands" reminds me

can anyone trace what the exact point when rappers stopped rapping about champagne & moved on to gross fruity (literally) drinks like hypnotiq, nuvo and whatever the fuck moscato is

i google rap lyrics all the time, mostly to end up discovering some US sports star or hair product or bank brand

also j0rdan i thought you were going to blurb the amnesty week stuff on the jukebox?

rappers were all on nuvo's dick this year -- look at this fucking liquor

i'm gonna try & do some of the ones for the end of this week, but amnesty week happened to fall on a pretty bad time for me (i have finals this week, am graduating at the end of the week, generally having to deal w/ like 10 diff things a day that deals w/ the rest of my life post-college)

Nicki likes rose as well obv but that makes sense - imagining rick ross quaffing it is just odd.

I had to look up (or ask ILX) what a "Mullener" was in a clipse song...some kind of crazy expensive car

Rick Ross: Girl Drink Drunk

is this nuvo/rosé/moscato thing like rappers & r&b singers just wanting to drink shit that girls like? (i'm trying not to be sexist here in blindly connecting fruity pink/blue/red drinks w/ women)

oh good luck with finals, obv that takes precedence

i don't know how expensive nuvo and moscato are but rosé is usually pretty cheap. i don't get it. these are the girliest of girly drinks. although having said that do many rappers namecheck beer brands in the first place?

back in the day it was all St. Ides this and Olde English that

drink BUDWEISER cannot stand MILLER

although actually, i just assume with the brand liquors, they're just paying $$$$ to get namechecked. fuck knows what's up with rosé though.

and then once Puffy and Raekwon and Nas came in it was all ooh look we're drinking Moet. And Courvoisier. how they got from champagne and brandy to this horrible syrupy gross ass shit is beyond me.

it's like a metaphor for the state of mainstream rap in 2010

lol

TBH I don't see how rose is any more girly than white wine really.

They should get on riesling - rhymes with a lot of words pertinent to the interests of rappers.

kanye was beast-ing off the ries-ling iirc

rosé is pink, for one thing! and you don't hear much about, like, vintage rosé wines like you do w/white or red. it's cheap'n'cheerful.

i want rappers to start mentioning bibimbap just cuz it's such a phonetically pleasing word. maybe jackie chain can do this.

You ain't needy, greedy or easy as these other breezy's
Who fuck for bottles of Riesling and bowls of baked ziti

i mean, this is basically the thread where we admit we're herbs

my favorite use of rosé is in 'lose my mind' - jeezy is rapping about how hard he is, but then drops in a few lines about how he drinks rosé til he passes out...yeah that sounds hard

but if they like sweeter wines why don't they go for a Sauterne, or some Chateau Yquem, or perhaps a nice vintage port?

*adjusts monocle*

my favorite use of rosé is in 'lose my mind' - jeezy is rapping about how hard he is, but then drops in a few lines about how he drinks rosé til he passes out...yeah that sounds hard

YES this was the other song that made me notice this was a trend. the Rick Ross thing I was just like "eh? did I hear that right?"

in my experience, the guys who order the fruitiest drinks in bars in atlanta tend to be the ones who get most amped up (besides me) when a great rap anthem comes on the jukebox

it's like a metaphor for the state of mainstream rap in 2010

I think this is OTM actually!

80s = malt liquor, inexpensive beer. genre is generally cheap but entertaining
90s = moet, dom perignon, courvoisier. genre is POP, rich and flush with success. aspirations to be top shelf
00s = rose, nuvo, moscato. genre is lightweight, can't handle it's liquor. what the fuck is this garbage

never post again

son, i am disappoint

Is there a way I can set up a killfile specifically targeted at shakey's "state of current rap" posts.

you guys are humorless

I mean shit now I can't even make JOKES about how crappy recent hip hop is

lollin @ this thread though

thought shakey's post was kinda funny tbh

flo rida is basically the hypnotiq of rap

yeah basically i have no car nerd knowledge as im an eternal public transportation dude so anything related to cars im like \oO/

this is probably as good a thread as any for this -- this week j0rdan had to school me on the meaning of Nicki's "Bottoms Up" verse -- i thought it was "I don't say 'hi' I say 'keys' to the Benz" as if the normal thing to do would be to just say hi to her car! but according to j0rdan she's demanding the keys to the Benz from her guy, which I guess never occurred to me because i never understood/paid attention to the line before that ("I'm with a bad bitch, he's with his friends"). i like my version better.

yea she def means it as gimme the keys 2 yr benz

see picturing Nicki talking to her car was probably my favorite way of thinking about her this year, very disappointing.

altho you could say that if she could communicate w/ her car she wouldn't even need keys

i thought was like how rappers brag about having push button ignitions instead of keys now -- like she has a voice recognition ignition but as some weird joke she makes it respond to her saying "keys" instead of turning a key. this is pretty silly to say out loud now though!

you might need to go into GOON REHAB

Al yr version definitely makes the way she then says "Keys to the Benz?? Keys to the Benz!!" really odd, as if maybe her car has some kind of Google style "did you mean...?" verification process.

i thought in that part she was repeating herself emphatically as she explained her bizarre automotive habits to incredulous friends

I don't say "Hi", I say "Keys" to the Benz
'"Keys" to the Benz?' '"Keys" to the Benz!'

I think I now prefer your version.

i know right!

rofl

btw i follow guys on twitter with the handles "I_B_GOON" and "justgoonin"

00s = rose, nuvo, moscato. genre is lightweight, can't handle it's liquor. what the fuck is this garbage

that's lightweight genre

really this whole thing just reminds me of one of my favorite ilm posts ever (about ne-yo):

Also if dude wants to convince us he's not gay he should stop consuming rose and calimari.

― Tim F, Wednesday, November 26, 2008 6:24 PM Bookmark

lol i love some dude's version of that lyric... it's like the benz is knight rider.

haha i too prefer al's version of "keys" to the benz.

is calamari particularly gay? ;_;

it def has connotations of classy dining which might code gay

ha, i don't really think so? at least in america it kind of became like the go to 'non-traditional' appetizer at tons of generic sports bars

fried calimari at least

not thaaat gay, but still just a funny post imo

that is also true

the go to 'non-traditional' appetizer at tons of generic sports bars

this kind of horrifies me - bad calamari is SO bad, i can only imagine how rubbery it'd be

bet it's fried calamari though? and is it called calamari or squid

who the hell calls calamari squid?

calamari IS fried squid

you call it squid when it's not fried, i guess

lol a lot of ppl? xpost

idk to me calamari is evocative of mediterranean dining which = classy, if they are serving fried calamari in sports bars that's great but like you said it's non-trad

It goes well with cow steak.

i should note that maybe the thing about fried calimari being in TONS of sports bars/restaurants is a regional thing specific to miami since there is generally wider access to/acceptance of seafood there

Can't go past a bit of surf 'n' turf

hmm okay so calamari = squid

I guess it's like when prawns = shrimp

just had a pig ham sandwich

i should note that maybe the thing about fried calimari being in TONS of sports bars/restaurants is a regional thing specific to miami since there is generally wider access to/acceptance of seafood there

fuck yeah lobster benedict

Enlightenment came from a friend and not Google but from the week it first came out until literally 2001, I thought the line in Bring The Noise was "You write memos? We write memos too."

Ah right you are.

have any rappers ever mentioned ceviche? they should.

give dro a few more years

Does he rap about whale meat?

i love ceviche

^^

never realized lex was such a seafood fanatic before this thread. weird thread for that detail to come to light.

we've def talked about sushi on the gay thread i think. but yeah all seafood all the time for me.

it's weird, when i was ~14 i had a period of getting a bit squeamish about meat - like, just beef and lamb or whatever - yet throughout i'd happily eat whatever crustaceans you could scrape off the seabed

these are my goonfessions
just i thought i knew all i could know

just when** ugh

"Hero Theme" by The Infesticons. First I had to google the lyrics to find out what Mike Ladd was saying in one line. I learned that the line goes "I like rhyming like Mascis", after which I had too google who "Mascis" is. I still don't know why he's a particularly noteworthy example of rhyming.

PSK. What DOES it mean?

maryland's a big seafood area too and yeah i have learned my lesson the hard way not to order fried calamari at a diner. like chewing on a breaded tire.

if ya'll come visit hk I'll hook you up with some dope fried calamari (it's even called fried squid)

in case yr rly asking, Park Side Killers

we eat so many squid

google "clicquot" cause of "black and yellow"

found out about this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8iouO9JRH0

are you british?

just canadian

kinda surprised canada doesn't know the duke tbh

(oh duh, i just realized by "this guy" you meant rappin' duke, not john wayne)

lmao

I had too google calvin coolidge after listening to "nutmeg". thought it was gonna be a baseball player. yes I'm kidding.

~had too much to google...~

haha u got me thinking that the rappin' duke was this ubiquitous american pop star that canadians somehow missed

haha

i think i got the much better intro to that track by hearing it completely randomly and having the light bulb go off in my head

It's pretty awesome that rappin duke is getting mad props in like all-time frathouse playlist staple Juicy

"all-time frathouse playlist"

you make it sound like it's "butterfly" by crazy town or something

don't start anything, there's a recent thread where two ppl, prob whiney & deej, argue over which biggie tune is a frathouse staple

smh

i still don't know the call at the start of bay area tracks that sounds like "jay areaaaaaaaa"

you mean like this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc1M4HjGHtc

yeah except it's a j or ch sound

oh ok i guess that's it :/

agree w/ whiney actually 'juicy' is way more a frathouse staple in 2010 than crazytown is

okay thank you Shakey for posting that

in a world of frat ppl

okay thank you Shakey for posting that

just doin my duty as part of the E-40 street team

weirdly i'm an e-40 freak since mailman but was listening to roach gigz and got convinced they swapped out the y, then listened to "hardest in the bay" after shakey and it was clear as day.. lol i'm ill right now ok!

deej: that wasn't my point

I am not a goon, but it's useful to know that the stuff they're drinking in one or two Fuego videos (definitely "Super Estrella") is a thing, since they make a point of holding the bottle up a lot.

this goes in here

not to backtrack too far but I think the rose thing started with like the Diddys of the world when it got big in the Hamptons and Miami Beach. Jeezy and Rick Ross talking about it makes no sense though. I think the first time I noticed it was a thing was in Rocafella Billionaires (that's what them hoes say, Hov pourin rose)

btw is ross calling himself 'rose' now

rozay

whenever he kisses someone now seal's gonna jump into the frame from nowhere and shout BAYYYYYYYYYBBAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

i say "keys" to the benz

i had to look up what a "dunk" was

there's a word that gucci mane and yelawolf are both using and i don't know what it is and don't know how to spell it (the sub-literates seven-degrees-below-yelp-commenter dipshits who submit song lyrics to the internet are no help either)

can you type out what you think it is, phonetically?

"dunk" or "donk"?

xpost

I don't want to, because it's just gonna make me look like even more of an idiot.

oh doy, the yelawolf CD has lyrics, one second.

i had to look up what a "dunk" was

― eep opp ork ah ah...and that means suck my dick (San Te), Saturday, January 29, 2011 10:50 AM (8 minutes ago)

the shoe?

ok, the world that Gucci and Yelawolf are fond of is "elbo"

which is apparently Southern slang for a pound of weed

should add yelawolf to Rap Albums with Lyrics in the Booklets

xxxpost well it sounded like "dunk/dunks" on the Yelawolf album, and from context assumed he was talking about a car.

always thought "donk" was short for a ghetto ass but urbandictionary attributes the same definition that it did to "dunk/dunks" in some cases, "ass" in the others.

I'm too white to decipher this.

"donk" also a chevy impala

yea i saw that, which spun my world upside down. imagining a case where I could confuse a chick talking about her Impala w/ a conversation about her ass, could be really awkward, but that'd be no diff than 99% of my normal convos anyway so.....

get that donk in my donk

get out of my dreams...get into my donk

catfish billy ocean

lol

donk vs. donk

don't the people who only know the donk = ass definition get really confused when they hear any of the countless rap/R&B songs that use the donk = car definition? I mean, what do they think when Chris Brown says "get it shawty, we parking lot pimpin' in my donk"? wait, don't answer that.
