*Rap lines that went over your head in the past*

[devilbdevil]

I came in here expectin some complex rhymes and almost everythin said so far is basic as hell. Most of u niggas got no business callin urself a hip hop head.

Im kidding like Jason.. Shit made no sense to me there was no sport or bball reference.. Damn Nelly sucks

Lmao co-sign. That line is so wack that your mind immediately bypasses the Jason Kidd reference thinking there's something more. I didn't understand it at first either. It's like "Real Gs move in silence like lasagna." I was thinking that was code for something else, but no, that nigga was really talking about pasta.

To add:

"Attract money, my worst color is light green (light money)

My favorite hue (how) is Jay-Z blue (blew)"

Jay is sick with the wordplay.

Hue means color, jay z blue was a deal with Chrysler for a color.

Yall nggas need educations.

LMAO, that's what i was saying. People be reaching with Jay-Z lines all the time.

This thread is becoming highly embarassing for the site as a whole lOL I'ma just throw out dope lyrics that didnt go over my head, but may have went over the head of the Nelly and J Kidd crowd.

Apologies in advance to those who already got it:

We used to fight for building blocks

Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing

The closest of friends when we first started

But grew apart as the money grew and soon grew black-hearted

Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers

He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother

My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese

She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties

About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced

I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense (cents)

Who could ever foresee, we used to stay up all night

At slumber parties, now I'm tryna rock this bitch to sleep

@underlined it was so ill how he played on the irony of them bein young vs how it was as adults. He did it 3 times.

@ the bolded was typical Ill Jay double entendre that some people may not see both sides of

I was in the 7th grade when this song came out and I knew exactly who he was referring too back then. All of y'all who had this line fly over your head take a mean L....

What More Can I say- Jay-z

People accuse Jay of bein a biter, and give him the Shaq face when he says 'when i say a big verse i'm only biggin up my brother'

But people dont know he's a student of history

1) The line he says right after that is a Big line , 'All them rings n things you rap about, bring em out...'

and 2) The beat itself for What More Can I Say has the same sample as the song that Big line is from.

'Mic-macheted your flow'- Jay z, DP II

Cut up your flow on the mic, yes, but the inspiration for that wordplay is at the time there was a popular college football player: Mike Moschetti.

 

[S2J]

"caught smaller cases (court cases/letters) tryin to get capital (money/capital letters)"- Jay z NYMP

"How come, you label your brand of dope

'Volume 1' and spread it through the slums?"- Jay Dopeman

Of course that whole song is a metaphor for music and drugs. But he pronounces 'Volume' like vial (crack vials) or valium. Both drugs.

 

[s3nterocks]

At times I wasn't able, there was always cane

That line went over my head for years. Didn't catch that double

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

It's usually the simple shit that go over your head BC it leaves nothing to be desired.

Surprised nobody said that cry wolf line from Wayne.

In another thread niggas was talking about that shit for pages

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Life's a bitch, but God forbid the bitch divorce me

I'll be flooded with ice so Hell's fire couldn't scorch me.
