is Common's "real rappers is hard to find like a remote.....CONTROL" line one of these? it feels more prototypical, like the Stooges' relationship with punk, with the awkward phrasing in place, but not the punchline format yet

We tried to find pre-Drake gbag lines and came up empty. What is that from?

Kanye, "Good Life"

I don't think we need a whole new thread for this

Mr. Zomg 6 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Basically kanye/dipset lock thread until someone finds the shroud of turin of gbag

Mr. Zomg 6 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:24 (thirteen years ago) link

i still can't figure out if rev is saying "garbage bag" instead of "grocery bag" on purpose or what

~athdouspart (some dude), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:32 (thirteen years ago) link

haha, no i didn't even realize i was doing that, pretty lol now that u point it out

suge ♞ (The Reverend), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

i think i will continue to say "garbage bag" tho

suge ♞ (The Reverend), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

I was wondering what your previous "lol 'garbage bag'" line was about

suge ♞ (The Reverend), Sunday, 27 June 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link

i almost started this exact thread -- kanye is the proverbial forefather of the nuts here

yeah it's interesting that all the Kanye examples here are from Graduation, since according to Drake he got it from Kanye who got it from Big Sean. when did Kanye sign that guy? has Kanye done any lines like that more recently?

that's totally not an example of this btw, he just broke up the phrase awkwardly to rhyme it with "quotes"

~athdouspart (some dude), Sunday, 27 June 2010 20:25 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm still waiting for some embryonic 80s/90s fluke example of this

the barry bonds line is dope cause he just delivers it real casual-like instead of being all .......SOCCER TEAM! about it

suge ♞ (The Reverend), Monday, 28 June 2010 04:50 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, it's like Drake does it with ellipses and Kanye does it with a comma.

Mr. Zomg 6 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 28 June 2010 04:54 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, I kinda had that exact same thought about t.i. saying "put em all the way down to australia, sydney"

i guess the only way this can get worse if MCs start saying the punchline first.

man if these develop into pause punchline palindromes that'd be awesome

cos if so, kudos, with great power comes etc

goole, Monday, 28 June 2010 15:38 (thirteen years ago) link

sorry whiney, i looked at whether the whole phrase was a palindrome and it clearly wasn't so i was confused. weird structure to that one.

~athdouspart (some dude), Monday, 28 June 2010 15:48 (thirteen years ago) link

well if you respond apologetically, it totally makes my fake anger look absolutely dickish!

Mr. Zomg 6 (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 28 June 2010 15:52 (thirteen years ago) link

actually smoothe da hustler actually did sorta palindrome stuff way back on his album, like that woulda been 93ish? the one with broken launguage...like

like he would rhyme a line then rhyme it backwards like:

It's the hustler, loan shark from Saratoga Ave., Ave Saratoga from shark loan hustler the it's/I'm rushin' ya clicks etc

thats not rlly a grocery bag is it

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 03:46 (twelve years ago) link

not technically, since the word after the pause would make sense without the pause, but listen to the delivery - the spirit of the grocery bag is definitely there
