Wow, if an anti-vaccine song is #6, I fear what the Top 5 are in this case... (Though I imagine that Drake's "she says that she's a lesbian, girl, me too" line is in there also.)

At the "45 bitches and we living it up... Well, I don't know what this bitches problem is so I guess we got 44 bitches and we living it up" I pictured it like 99 bottles of beer on the wall and I legit sobbed laughing. That was one of the best moments in the 9 years I've been watching your show.

I’ve learned that it almost doesn’t matter if it makes sense as long as it sounds good

[@heymistercarter.]

@@Cho0segoose but even when the first take is freestyled, they can always go back, listen to what was recorded, write the parts and lines that worked down, and change the lines that don’t work to ones that are better. There’s a reason that we live in a time with recording where you can erase or edit certain lines and start over. If all they’re going for is “we did it all on the spot in one take”, then they run the risk of having as many, if not possibly more, bad lines as good ones. And in that instance, would “we did this in one take” REALLY be something worth bragging about? Or would it be better to say “you know what, let’s try that one more time”?

[@KaizoeAzurum]

Seems like NLE Choppa is a bit confused about what the December Solstice is, and how it's only just almost 3 days of night above the arctic circle. It wouldn't be surprising if he thinks that all of earth can have a 3 days night due to physically impossible stuff.

[@johnoneil9188]

It really sounds like somebody told him about it while he was high and half listening and he had a "Woah, that´s crazy, man!" moment but it never dawned on him afterwards that it can´t be true for the entire planet.

[@ttthecat]

We can only hope what he was thinking was at least at one point grounded in science, and that he was smoked up and misunderstood.

[@Matches_Malone0]

Some people believe this is where the concept of Jesus being dead for three days and rising comes from. At that time of the year the sun is located in a constellation called the Southern Crux. When the Sun goes down(death), it's in that spot then begins to rise(resurrection) after the 3rd day.

[@heymistercarter.]

That was probably this year’s equivalent of Lil Yachty’s Cello line. As in the one that EVERYONE begged Rap Critic to talk about this year. But as he said, there’s a reason he does a year-end worst-of list, and it’s for lines like that.

Fun Note: First year of college, I had at least three different girls on my dorm floor come in and tell me they were going to bang me so well that I replaced my picture of Christ with a picture of them. Sometimes they actually DON'T respect a man's religious journey... Also, Young Thug on the cover is holding the guitar string drawn with an arrow, as though he were striking precisely, piercingly & violently with his music. And he's so blase at the end because he's numbed by his wealth and hedonism.

[@tycan2346]

For as much as I love Young Thug as an artist, I'll be the first to admit he can have a decent verse then will suddenly say something outta pocket to make you go "WTF?"

[@RobbieLugos]

I never thought Young Thug would make the suicide version of Five Little Ducks.

[@laurainc]

i might be wrong but i think the cosmetologist line on protect is directly connected to the previous line where he says he's picking people's brains and putting facts in their heads, like a cosmetologist or hairdresser might use something like a pick or a comb on people's hair or generally pull on it to get out tangles out plus the cliche of casual conversations and such in a barber shop, where, to make time go by the hairdresser might pick their client's brain about their life, and he's putting facts in people's heads like a cosmetologist would put in shampoo or water or smth. not a great bar and its delivery is very confusing but i don't think cosmologist fits any better since he doesn't talk about space at all except referencing astrology and the sun in the next few lines

[@MrBarborosa]

You NEED to make a conflicted rap song who can't decide if he's trying to brag or get deep. That shit was great

That uzi verse did not deserve to be on here in the slightest. I’m not a uzi fan and I was actually impressed by that verse. He stayed on topic, had actual wisdom in there. (Talking about choosing a better crowd of friends) And there a clear audience for it. That audience just isn’t you. Also the crowd was dispersing out of respect. If a saw a celebrity I liked or respected trying to make their way through a crowd I would get out of their way and potentially tell others to do so. I wouldn’t go up to get their autograph.

[@hanklestank]

Flexing verbal tic Drake slowly going insane in the booth is the hero we need in 2021. (All joking aside I giggled my ass off at that bit, thank you for that!).

[@imcarz711]

The uzi line still has some bad parts, but the part where he says “make the crowd disperse” I think is referring to when he is in the crowd they separate around him like they do in the music video. I think he sees it as a sign of respect to give an artist space to move freely through his crowd, that’s what he was going for.
