[@FreezingmoonDSBM]

Gotta disagree on the first one-- his capablity of "shitting all day" is a clear reference to Sigmund Frued's second stage of psychosexual development. Frued famously states that a child raised by passive adults will develop an "expulsive" personality. Now, Scott's use of the word "diaper" refers to his desire to have been nurtured by his parents. This masterful verse showcases his deep issues with authority and the effects of his childhood on his present self. He is truly the goat

[@0uistiti]

bro found lore where there isn't💀

[@BlackFeller]

9:36 In this lyric, many people will probably not understand it's true meanings so allow me to help you understand it. He says that "one plus one is three" which is obviously not true, to make fun of the very few people who truly believe in it. And since there're so little people who actually believe in it, it shows that he notices and cares about every single little detail, no matter how small. This line could also be Lil Baby's knowledge in the world of mathematics, as he shows that in the multiverse theory, there could be a universe where one plus one is actually three, proving his knowledge. It could also mean that he had a lot of sexual intercourse with women, showing that when one male has sexual intercourse with another female, the female has a baby making the third number. This could also show how confident Lil Baby is and how much confidence we should have ourselves, as he says it loud and confidently and publishing it in a song, which could go viral for everyone's ear to hear. He truly is the greatest rapper alive. He shows that he is very observant and cares about every small detail, his ability to attract many women to have sexual intercourse with, his knowledge about mathematics and the multiverse theory, and how much confidence we should have. This line was made by a true lyrical legend but we didn't understand it. We should be ashamed by ourselves and praise him.

[@K2ELP]

1 + 1 = 3 means he did the sex

[@julio_is_coolio]

I would rather interpret it as a critique to the over-rationalizing of our modern lives, sometimes to the detriment of authentic, emotional, human experiences. Saying "1+1=3" is a defiance of the most basic rule of mathematics that seeks to demonstrate the emptiness of mathematical logic: it is nothing but a set of rules created by humans for humans with no application to the natural world, and concepts such as "one", "two" and "three" are nothing but metaphysical constructions that serve only themselves, an oxymoronic ouroboros. This lyric shows the listener that, rather than attach oneself to meaningless rationality, one should enjoy the things in the material world, all the things in the same plane of existence as ours: for we, humans, are nothing but sacks of flesh who received the opportunity to love, sing, dream; enjoy the cosmos and all things in it that truly matter.

[@noletaw6013]

I think it's more of a reference to the book 1984, by George Orwell. In the book, the Party has brainwashed everyone into believing that "2 + 2 = 5". When Lil Baby says "1 + 1 = 3", he is saying that the media, like the Party, has made everyone believe that these lyrics have no meaning and are "dumb" despite the fact that the true meanings were right in front of our faces.

You are doing dawg's work, trying to make the hood a safer place for pillars to trap in. I am enthralled by your bold and audacious attempt to understand the depth of expression in lyrics to their fullest extent. Not all heroes wear capes, but slime takes all shapes. I would like to add that "I got three nuts" is a reference to 'NLE' where he metaphorically opines that nomenclature of dawgs is nuts (bonkers). Aside from that, he subliminally refers to the density of semen which when he "shoottas" feels like he has another gonad, so as to produce this voluptuous outcome. "I had a wet dream about beef" refers to the intoxication a dawg receives while mingling in the hood. We know that the hood has a rugged terrain, where flocks stand pillars up. If a pillar becomes sloppy, the pillar slips stiff. This lyric is also a reference to "nappy" or diaper, which is a reference to another reputed individual to whom respect was doled out to. It is unfortunate that lyrical prowess goes unnoticed due to the short-sightedness of the general public, but I am happy to have discovered a vigilante in you out to jolt justice through sheer genius.

[@crackedaim]

[@wher3ismymind]

9:35 “one plus one is three” Here, Lil Baby may at first appear to be making an attempt at satire since the majority of the population do, in fact, know that his statement is incorrect, and therefore by making himself seem as though he lacks knowledge, listeners would find this entertaining to hear. However, upon analysing this at a deeper level, it appears that Lil Baby could be questioning what we all know. As this quote appears to be so simple at face value, the rapper could be asking listeners to reevaluate their lives and minds to understand whether we really know what we think we know. For example, is one plus one really two? How do we know that? Who came up with ideas such as these, and were they consequently forced into our gullible minds since the ancient times of mankind, so that these beliefs are what we stick with till this very day? Alternatively, this could be Lil Baby’s attempt to share his varying perspective with the world, and to suggest that we all deserve to have a voice and individual opinion on matters such as these. You should be able to choose for yourself whatever you want one plus one to be. He could be trying to send the message that we are free, and we are able to do whatever we put our minds to. Ultimately, this philosophical quote may be pointing to the fact that Lil Baby is having an existential crisis and wanted to share that with whatever listeners would be willing to try to understand.

The lyric "order some more money" by Chief Keef in "Nightcrawler" may initially appear simplistic, but it carries a deeper meaning that critiques modern consumer culture and the commodification of wealth. By treating money as something that can be casually ordered, Chief Keef highlights the detachment from traditional notions of earning and the ease with which wealth can be acquired by those with power and influence. This line reflects the materialism and endless cycle of consumption in contemporary society, while also serving as a symbol of Chief Keef's own empowerment and success. Moreover, there’s an underlying irony in how the lyric trivializes money, offering a subtle commentary on the absurdity and skewed perceptions that come with extreme wealth, making the lyric far more than just a superficial boast.

Seems to be a lament of wasted money on frivolous pleasures, likely including expensive clothing, and "money" which may indicate bad investments or money spent to earn more money. To paint a larger picture, this could be a larger critique of consumerist culture at large, and is a reminder of material life's ephemeral nature.

This is a masterclass in the branch of interpretation theory called "value maximization", which in the field of humanities is a method of interpreting a work of art or communication in its broadest sense. This is a way of disconnecting the work from its creator and an underlying intention, and instead, it enables the interpreter to derive as much artistic value out of an artwork as possible while still maintaining consistency with the artwork, and without having to ask the creator about intention, the value maximized interpretation can be reconnected back to the creator. I once had a paper where I interpreted Fortnite as the main reason for the heightened communicative and cognitive skills as seen in gen Z lmao This take on the theory of value maximization comes from Stephen Davies’ “The Philosophy of Art”, and he would have been hella proud watching your over-analysis!

Not saying it's an amazing lyric by any stretch, but I think he did Jack Harlow a little dirty here.

I actually interpreted Ken Carson's song, "Hardcore," shown at 7:37, to insinuate that his female companion is only with the esteemed rapper for the money, or "green," that he produces due to his lucrative business and skill shown in the rap industry. slightly further on, Carson puts emphasis on the "huh," within the line, showing that he believes the previous line to be a question, as if he's asking someone about what his girl said about him behind his back. This insinuates to the audience that most female friends that he associate with only care about his money and not the rapper as a person. Carson goes on further to explain that thinking that Ken Carson is only important due to the money he receives, and not the cultural impact he has made on rap itself, is not healthy, by using the metaphor of describing him as kale. This in itself is a double entendre, as Kale, while showing itself to be a stereotypical, "healthy," food, is also green, emphasising the imagery of Ken Carson being viewed as green, or made of money. However, this is contrasted by the following line, as Ken Carson describes how he can fly out his female companion easily, showing that if he wants, he can treat money as if it is no object, and spend it on benign things such as flights for acquaintances. -- Coming from a grade 9 english GCSE student. Thank you, Thank you, I'll be here all night.

[@smokinhawtdude]

You missed a meaning of the Jack Harlow quote. What he means is that he refers to his man parts as "a hunnid grand" and his grandpa would be horrified to see that Jack Harlow isn't continuing the Harlow family legacy (by pulling out), especially given his newly acquired fame bringing prosperity to the line. That's why he goes on to confirm that he is going to continue to procreate, even if he does not desire to do so, to satisfy his grandpa's needs. I think you should correct yourself because this mistake is frankly embarrassing. Disapointed.
