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

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.

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.
