hahaha i'm fucking dying @ this poll - <3 u ship
i think we might need to poll ever song on the young money album, such entertainment
anyway, i voted for this
I keep her running back and forth...SOCCER TEAM!!! (Lil Wayne)
really anything lil wayne has rapped in the past year applies, but sheesh - minaj is really fucking bad at this too of course - the bedrock/stevie wonder lines are bad but so commonplace that they don't even scan

i make bad puns irl all the time but i feel sufficiently embarrassed about it and my wife usually rolls her eyes. puns are like promiscuity or junk food, it's just not right to enjoy them without feeling at least a little but of shame.

apparently the full line in the explicit version is "I got her, nigga...grocery bag." this doesn't really clear anything up, though.

The best I can come up with that is an incredibly clumsy riff on the slang term "bag", although what "grocery" is supposed to add is a total mystery to me unless Gudda Gudda is an ILX lurker and that is a reference to his grocery groin.

i think Wayne himself kinda pioneered the new school of shamelessly stupid punchlines and juvenile poop/pop culture references and Kanye, Young Money, etc. are mainly following his lead, although he may have been following Cam'ron's lead to an extent too. There's always been a strain of this stuff in rap, though, it just used to be more in balance. Biggie would say "girls pee pee when they see me" but he'd also say something actually clever in the same song.
― some dude, Thursday, 7 January 2010 17:08 (fourteen years ago) link
ha yeah, I was specifically thinking the "rambling sentence to set up... ARBITRARY UNFUNNY PUNCHLINE PHRASE" construction but you are right, dumb/clever has been an eternal yin/yang in hip-hop lyrics since forever

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.
