[yoyoyo1]

what did he mean by this?

He was tired of watching the Knicks in black and white

Don't know the song you're referencing but if it came out a few years ago it's probably a punchline about Jeremy Lin or some other player who isn't black or white.

This came on a plays list I was listening to last night coincidentally, and it sounded to me like he said "so I can see nikkas play basketball",

I knew it was wrong given the context but it was a confirmation that I need to put down that ignant shyt for a while

The disregarding and forgetting of rap history is akin to only reading history books starting in 1960s.

Teacher: Tell me class, who was the main adversary to the Allies in World War 2

@FruitOfTheVale: Don't know the war you're referencing, sir

You think Sugar Hill Gang had the IQ to put subliminals in their lyrics?

 

[TransJenner]

Everyone getting mad over a Sugerhill Gang song like we're suppose to know it
