[@Drknsl0]

that Jack Harlow line mad me think of 2 Chainz's "she got a big booty so I call her big booty"

[@keldrickdunn6430]

if we talking 2 chainz comparisons, definitely gotta go with the "thank you for your service / i dive in her cervix" bar in a song about his recently deceased friend

[@expansivegymnast1020]

Yeah except worse

[@Drknsl0]

@@keldrickdunn6430 I forgot that one, that gets the leg up of rhyming different words though so it's like taking the doucheness of that line, and the same word rhyming of the other line

[@nosidezero]

@@keldrickdunn6430 I was thinking exactly that

[@jjthepikazard212]

the thing about two chainz is that all of his bad lyrics are just funny to me

[@HonkeyKongLive]

That NBA lyric definitely caught me by surprise lmao

[@MuiltiLightRider]

Wow, that YB lyric literally made my jaw drop lmao. I guess this is what happens when you drop 10 albums and 7 mixtapes per year

[@awlig]

Same lol

[@firefly4f4]

I think your mix tape count is low, but otherwise you're probably right.

[@hakc97again]

That last lyric is up there with Lil Wayne's line about breastfeeding in terms sheer disturbance and gross implications

[@birdgod5584]

Or the one from Fatlip in that one video

[@weedongding]

Jack Harlow must've watched 'The Room' when we wrote that first rap line

[@janbockma1509]

“You’re tearing me apart, No Answer!”

[@HisVirusness]

Number 1 was so fuckin' gross. Who can write some bars like that, read it back, and NOT think, "Hmm... Am I a pedophile?"

[@ChuckBrowning]

Bold of you to assume NBA Youngboy thinks through his lyrics.

[@rayelgatubelo]

Say what you want about Fatlip: at least he wasn't the one molesting his girlfriend at two years old!

[@ianmcabee8036]

Well he watched his grandpa say penis tbf

[@KitsyX]

I think that's a bit of a leap in logic... I mean, you could hire your male, homosexual friend a male prostitute in order to give them a good time, while not being at all interested in gay sex... You're not necessarily involved in the act because you facilitated it... Of course, soliciting sex for a child, let alone a baby, is still messed up regardless, in various ways... And I don't really know the artist, so maybe he's done many other things to indicate being a paedophile that I'm just not aware of... But this in isolation, I wouldn't personally go down that route... It seems more like an exaggeration of "hey! I get my son all the best stuff as early as possible" to me, just terribly done.

[@tonberry2670]

​@@KitsyX He is actively condoning hiring a prostitute to give his one year old son a blowjob. It's foolish and ignorant to think that him even thinking to write a line like that, much less put it in production, and put it out to the world isn't an implication of some really fucked up shit that even he isn't dumb enough to openly admit. Remotely decent human beings wouldn't even think that way.

[@simonusc849]

The common part was so funny, like what kinda story was that 😭 "and everyone was happy" no not the chinese guy i'd assume 😭

[@ethanbaileylol2283]

like how does this story progress? there’s so many untied ends. and was it real? did common know the man this happened to? or was this an allegory for something bigger? if it was, uhhh💀

[@gtt8428]

Imagine if a white person said " all black people steal" unironically... That's how you should respond to the white privilege myth ... But you don't ... What's that say about you ??? Who's truly racist !?

[@simonusc849]

@@ethanbaileylol2283 it's not real because he says this is now "leon's barbecue" which actually exists in chicago but this is not their origin story.. which makes commons story even more random 😂

[@Dead_Goat]

Or the white guy that was assaulted for not giving money to the black for simply being black.

[@ethanbaileylol2283]

@@Dead_Goat okay dude. that’s quite literally not why and you know it. he did it because the black man was poor and the white man looked down on him with disgust for being poor. he wouldn’t even share change with him. it’s literally just being a generous person when you have extra. thanks for telling everyone you didn’t understand the moral of the song.

[@rayelgatubelo]

Between NBA Youngboy's line about his one year old getting head and Fatlip's line about his girlfriend being molested at two years old, I'm like WTF?!

[@donovanlocust1106]

Shit when was that?

​@@donovanlocust1106 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q53RpYaAmJd6btE

[@Chubby_Lemon]

two very different things by the connotation of the lines both messed up at a literal level but one sounds like a joke and the other sounds malicious

[@kenterminateddq5311]

NBA YoungBoy isn't the worst rap-singer today but his line about his son made me quote Rap Critic's line: "DUDE! F#&K YOU!".

[@JABRIEL251]

I had to relisten to the NBA lyric like 4 times to make sure I heard what I heard, because even with subs, I did not believe it. Like bro, wtf. Did you really think that line was okay?

[@Casvaleon]

i think the line of "tasty like a raindrop" is to mean that she always leaves you wanting more

[@Chubby_Lemon]

tenuous at best. taste is different too desiring more of something

[@Casvaleon]

@@Chubby_Lemon semantics. Hip hop is filled with em

[@leoprince691]

Missed these. The Homer Simpson part was the funniest thing in this review.

[@alenaphoenix]

That Common song was funnier than it should've been; great video, you deserve far more recognition

[@WinterReflections]

He would have more recognition if he worked harder, made more videos more consistently, made them longer, didn't nearly only make the videos when they're specifically requested via donation... Just saying, I've watched him for years at this point and the fact he isn't bigger is 100% because he slacked and still is slacking.

[@doughboydevito4529]

6:00-6:04 This line reminds me that NBA Youngboy has 2 other questionable lyrics similar to this one. The 1st one is "this 40 gl!ck a baby, u could say I'm a ch!ld m@lester" from the unreleased leaked song "the shade room" and the 2nd one is "u telling me bout age, but I feel that just a number" from his song "have you ever"

[@NoFace-Killah]

sounds like he should be on a list at this point

[@hidarling641]

Mans better be lookin fresh, cause the feds watchin lol

[@KaoticReach1999]

Uh...Yea... I would really like one of those old "Genius channels videos that's about explaining your lyrics on camera" on the #1 NBA line because...my God I need to know the HELL he thought he was saying after writing then recording that ☠️

[@jdrebellove7460]

Finally he's bringing this back

[@gtt8428]

? These segments used to be funny not a vehicle to push black supremacist ideology ??? What's there to get excited about, he sold out many moons ago

[@heymistercarter.]

6:02 Okay, didn't Boosie Badazz/Lil Boosie/whatever he calls himself get in trouble not too long ago because he tried doing that to his young nephews? Tried to get his not-even-teenage nephews (and it sounds like even his son, who was also barely even a teenager) with some prost!tutes or something? Again, this is something the guy got in some REALLY hot water for saying because, well, OBVIOUS REASONS. One of many ways in which I lost any ounce of respect for the guy. That and his rant against Lil Nas X.

[@Syurtpiutha]

Based on all that I'm gonna guess his rant against Lil Nas X is about his sexuality and possibly contains the word 'groomer' somewhere?

[@chicagoakland]

As it so happens, both Boosie and Youngboy are from Baton Rouge...remind me to steer clear of that city.

[@silvaskiproductions3937]

LOL he mentioned his son in a tweet saying that he was going to get him some head for his birthday.

[@smaaron_j_46]

Isn’t Nas X Boosie’s nephew and that’s why they beefed for a moment?

[@WinterReflections]

​@@smaaron_j_46No, that's not true. The reason is that Boosie is a full-fledged, aggressive, anti-gay bigot. He makes it very clear if you watch enough clips. He's in the "they are part of a satanic plot to steal our children" camp...

[@MotherKojiro]

I'm glad you mentioned the raindrop thing. I forget what it was that I'd read, because it was many years ago - was it Fahrenheit 451, or maybe Ethan Frome? - but there was a spirited woman who said something about how raindrops taste like wine, and it left me wondering what the author was even talking about.

[@samanteater]

I think the idea there is that the society around her is so soulless that even really simple, mundane things are interesting by comparison.

[@1101Archimedes]

Clarisse does mention that in _Fahrenheit 451_ while talking about her conversations with her psychiatrist. She's curious about everything, in stark contrast to just about everyone in her family, everyone at her school... everything society wants her to be.

[@todd1928]

I'm pretty sure the raindrop line is meant to be about how rainwater tastes fresher and cleaner.

[@pmwaffle9348]

that and the feel of a raindrop falling I think

[@todd1928]

@@pmwaffle9348 yeah that could work, "it's so wet it's literally dripping into my mouth" kind of thing

[@CapnAkira]

I was thinking satisfying. For some, there's a certain feeling to rain landing in their mouths.

Anyone can morally condemn an objectively abhorrent statement. It takes a real media commentor to do that AND challenge the abhorrent statement on the grounds of its own internal logic and motivations. That's why I watch you RC.

[@juhaniaho6698]

Regarding Jackman, there’s also this line from Ambitious: ”And I’m c*mming in my girl, like I’m sterile” Why would you brag about being unable to procreate? Between this line and the pineapple juice line from First Class, Jack Harlow should stop writing bars related to ejaculation. Jackman was an overall improvement, yes, but there are still some kinks to be ironed out.

That YB lyric really is disgusting, but it’s funny as shit seeing other people react to it. I think that was the main intent of that lyric was to have everybody like “Woah WTF?!”

[@avgriffin]

I actually very often disagree with you over the near decade been watching but you my favourite music critic, respect, maybe someday Ill give it a try inspired by it, Thanks man helped me when stuff was rough growing up

[@gtt8428]

You look up to a literal racist !? Change black with white and really watch his videos again, none of it would fly Implying *all* black people steal would never fly So what's up with this privilege myth ? Hmmmm ???? Why is that okay !? That's hate speech bro ...no different Are western governments saying it's okay to be racist if your black ? Because that's how it's coming across ...

[@TheNotSoGreatBeast]

Maybe that's the point. She's not tasty ...much like a raindrop. Or...she quenches your thirst? It could taste good if you're extremely thirsty.

[@Jayfive276]

Or to give that Roxette song it's full title - "The Look (No Not That One, That's By Prince)"

[@bthsr7113]

"I guess that is technically a lesson." Well that's a sad takeaway for a song to leave.

Per Gessle of Roxette who wrote the song has said plenty of times that he knows that the lyrics to that song make no sense at all, they were just meant to sound good.

[@coyotebloodbath]

my man, i really hope you get into a billy woods track, im ready for a long ass video lol

[@culwin]

Roxette was the last group I expected to appear in this video.

[@stefanpredoi4564]

I think that Common's song is supposed to be about the "petty bourgeoisie", which is represented by the guy who owns the shop: someone who has more in common with the black man but who turns a blind eye to the way he's being mistreated by the establishment in order to keep the little privilege he has. Even if that's the point, the end makes no sense because the black guy then becomes the petite bourgeoisie by owning the store, not dismantling the power structure. I don't think the setup or the conflict are bad but the moral is still kind of confused.

[@samwill7259]

You'd hear plenty of worse lyrics if we set congress to music but it wouldn't be nearly as soul crushing!

[@abubakrjamal7163]

Rain has a flavour though, it tastes different from filter water

I could only guess that the beat cancer line was meant to be like a shoutout, before the actual song starts. But just wasn't delivered orp roduced in any way to designate it as such?

[@Evan_Schaefering]

I'd say he's Common the rapper who acts and not the other way around. He's been making quality thought provoking music since the early 90s and has won multiple Grammys. I suppose he's more known as an actor nowadays but his music career is really good. His album 2005 album Be, which is produced almost entirely by Kanye, is a great place to start.

[@KarlNova]

Yes! He’s had a very long rap career and is actually a top tier artist. This song from way back in 1994 and isn’t one of his best songs at all. A forgettable one. Listen to his album called “Be” now that is a classic album.

[@bahoomahoo]

Only top five? Is the other half of this on Patreon?

[@Skvat69]

lol

[@Tomwithnonumbers]

When they say "My homeboy just beat cancer" I think they're saying he ditched his ex. He calls the ex 'cancer' because when he (c)alls she doesnt 'ancer' (answer)

[@the-aspiring-creator4249]

Though in that case, wouldn't it make more sense if he said "Your homeboy just beat cancer." since "My homeboy" would imply he's talking about a friend? Also even with the context, it's not exactly a line that works.
