some of those lines are not bad. I like the CC line fine.

i voted 'burn me on my bum'

deej, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago)

All those lines are great in the context of the song, and even better in the video.

Scott CE, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:02 (seventeen years ago)

I don't mind that verse, it sets the table before the drums kick in for Pimp C "lover never fuck wit out a rubb-ah"

really the worst part is repeating the "three stacks" line so many times

dmr, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:13 (seventeen years ago)

i like the song and think Andre's verse acts as a great counterpoint to Pimp C and the rest of the song, but god yeah, it's full of clunkers. big mistake not to include the "spaceships don't come equipped with rearview mirrors" line.

i love his verse

kl0pper, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:48 (seventeen years ago)

I like "You know we got your back/Like chiroprac... tic"! I'd be surprised if that never got used before.

Reminds me of that great old Ice Cube line "you should hear how she sounds with a cock in her boots getting knocked from here to Czechoslovakia" in the way it unfolds.

I'm so like a "pip," I'm "glad it's night"

Jordan Sargent, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago)

his verse on "what a job" is somewhat exasperating to me. the "hey could you put us in your rap", etc...i dunno, exasperating feels like the perfect adjective describing my feelings about it.

johnny crunch, Monday, 3 September 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

i think the rap on "What A Job" is cuet.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 3 September 2007 19:07 (seventeen years ago)

man, the way he delivers the campfire/vampire couplet in that song is so so exasperating.

Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 3 September 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago)

i see what whineys getting at though, his delivery makes most of these lines seem more unctuous than they should be

tremendoid, Monday, 3 September 2007 19:17 (seventeen years ago)

He really pushes it to make sure you get all his puns.

Whereas Chamillionaire took me a minute to get "In the car we confiscated 'The Chronic' and the 'Clipse'/'Diary' that you had and all your 'Blueprints'" (Probably because the first two puns are bleeped out in every version I've ever heard, but oh well).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

If he just would have said "You know we got your back like chiroprac" that would have worked.

The Reverend, Sunday, 9 September 2007 02:31 (seventeen years ago)

absolutely

two years pass...

do you think Andre really sent a text that said "I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be, and I apologize if this message gets you down"?

magic ksh (some dude), Monday, 19 July 2010 15:50 (fourteen years ago)

nevermind, of course he did

magic ksh (some dude), Monday, 19 July 2010 15:50 (fourteen years ago)
