Post examples of rappers using words they probably don't know the meaning of

Never met her before
But I think I like her like a metaphor

-"Sunshine", Lupe Fiasco

It's a bit of nitpick but that line always bothered me lmao. It's supposed to be simile. A simile makes a comparison with 'like', a metaphor makes the comparison with 'is'. Fairly close to being a dope ass line though.

This is what happens when the yes men in the recording room are afraid to tell rappers their bars don't make any gotdamn sense.

Lil Yachty said "she blow that dikk like a cello" but a cello is a string instrument not a wind instrument. You don't blow it

His explanation was fukking hilarious though.

"OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I'ma let you know. I'ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that.. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shyt. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fukked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fukked up. But it do sound good."

This is nitpicky as hell, but on We Made It Freestyle, Jay Said

"Y'all hella jealous of my melatonin"...melatonin is the over the counter supplemental pills that you take to make you sleepy and go to bed at night...plus, how would you even be jealous about a hormone that everyone secretes on a natural level to go to sleep?

he meant to say melanin, which is the dark pigment of his skin (but doesn't rhyme with the rest of the lines), which would make more sense that people are jealous of his blackness given that the whole verse was about Afrocentric topics that other races envy and not sleepy hormones that everyone has

but the biggest L goes to the Jay-Z stans on rapgenius trying to explain away this line by juelzing their way saying it's a double entrendre on some deep lyrical shyt when Jay-Z simply mixed up melanin with melatonin

Tbh I don't think it had anything to do with yes men, I don't think anyone else in the studio knew either
