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

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

and it'd have flowed much better with the correct word.

Eminem has the same line in difficult.
"I'm like, "You're gonna fry," you're like, "No, I won't
I'm black, stupid! And black people they got melatonin
In their skin—we don't burn," meanwhile my face is glowin'"

Special Ed said something about winning Grammys and he's not even an actor. Grammys are for music.

Phife had lines like "I float like gravity" and "cock is longer than the hat worn by Dr. Seuss." He was trying to reference The Cat in the Hat.

Run had the line "There’s three of us, but we're not The Beatles." Apparently, he thought there were three Beatles, and DMC knew there were four but he never told him.

You’re not being nit-picky. You right, breh.



But leave it up to Camel and his fukking stans.

Nas definitely didn't know what a scroll was when he unfolded it.

Nas didn't know what ether meant when he thought it made souls burn slow.

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.

A similie is a type of metaphor. But more importantly I think it's clear he likes metaphors. He likes her like he likes metaphors.

It bothered me the first time I listened to it too, but I assume the line is, "Never met her before/But I think I like her like a metaphor/Its hard to get"

Metaphors are what are "hard to get"
