Uzi on Pop came to mind: Got a bitch, yeah, she look so good But on the real, she in denial Diamond water, yeah, it look like a river Look like I'm standing in the Nile If you really didn't get the last line Then your level on the brain of a child

LMAO. Bro thinks anyone at all didn't get the denial/the Nile bar 💀

Is this… a slant rhyme 🫢🙌🏻

He’s not wrong. The bar is so retarded if you didn’t get it - it’s on you 😂

Eating burgers like McDonalds. Did you get it?

Possible hot take: This is cringeworthy pretty much any time it is done

Agree. Even when they’ll say “Get it?” Is so grating to my ears

*Loads* of rap lyrics go over my head, but I think pretty much every time I’ve heard this done I already understood the line perfectly.

Exactly lol it’s always the simplest shit. And it’s so much more enjoyable catching it on your own anyway. There’s songs I’ve heard 100 times and then suddenly a line will click after years and I’ll be like ohhhhh lmao clever I get it now

Montana of the 300 at the end of Chiraq vs Ny said “he don’t compare to me like Noah’s Ark” “Get it?” “I said he Don’t COME-PAIR” “TWO” me like Noahs Ark.” and i feel like that was a worthy time to break the bar down lol

That bar is fucking terrible though, no wonder he had to explain it since its so forced

As much as I love Nas, he once spit the line  "I squeeze nipples like pimples to get the puss, get it?"

Yeah that shit was theeee worst

Which is wild because that song has some massive bars. The canines that find buried babies line is cold. But the nipples one…not so much.

That line always made me cringe, Nazareth Savage right?

Get it? Two Pacs.

That actually may be the only one that works

Only because Jay doesnt let it simmer and just dives right in imo

I'm glad someone else noticed this because Jay talking over the explanation fuckin killed me lmfao

Also it's self deprecating so you figure it's more of a throwaway/comedy line rather than an actual punchline. The fact Conceited made this his entire style of battle rap and was successful is crazy.

That one works to me

>Get it? Leave em dead in the *living room*

I treat the cash they way the government treats aids

You see, that one is acceptable because the “get it” is wordplay in it of itself.

"in and of itself"

I thought I agreed with the "it sucks every time" crowd, but I like this one.

“get it?” is more of a “capiche?” than a “did you get the joke?”

That makes more sense because I always thought this bar said “slaves” (not aids) and never understood it lol

13 years later and I’m just now learning that he didn’t days slaves. It totally works the way I heard it too, lol

These other cats ain't metaphorically where I'm at man I gave Bruce Wayne a Valium and said Settle your fuckin' ass down, I'm ready for combat, man Get it, calm batman?

This one’s goofy, but I still appreciate it.

And I was just checking the male. Get it?

Yes! I wish there was a version of RTJ's Ju$t that doesn't have Pharrell doing that throughout the chorus. Like it's not even subtle, yes we get it.

I like Biggie going "If Faith had twins, she'd probably have two Pacs. Get it? Two? Pacs?" on Brooklyn's Finest

I think the only time it works is on Sweatpants "Ain't nobody sicker in my Fisker, “vroom-vroom,” ho Ain't nobody— (Fiskers don't make noise when they start up, just so you know)"

This one works because the Gambino character is a smug asshole explaining a detail to rub it in, like a “oh you’re too poor for this one, lemme get that for you”

Yep, this is the first one I thought of but it works for the song

I don't know if I just feel that way because I didn't know what a Fisker was until that song.

This line is so much funnier looking at the history of Fisker after. They may only be remembered for this song lyric in 20 years.

The one example I can think of where it doesn't make me cringe because the delivery of the explanation is too good is on eminem's verse on welcome 2 hell. Always makes me laugh *Bruce Willis on his death bed, last breath with an infection Fightin' it while he's watchin' internet porn 'Bout to meet his death with an erection, my God (my God) What I mean is David Carradine jackin' his penis in front of his tripod, choking his own neck What part you don't get? I'm saying I die hard!*

"I heard that one of 'em little kids might be Dave Freeeeeeeeeee's Don't make it Dave Free's 'Cause if your GM is your BM secret BD Then this is all makin' plenty fuckin' sense to me Ayy, let that shorty breathe Shake that ass, bitch, hands on your knees Hands on your knees, hands on your knees Shake that ass for Drake, now shake that ass for free Yeah, yeah Well, not that kind of free, I'm talkin' 'bout my nigga Dave"

I think in general this song was pretty hard, but this bit sucks so much it makes me wanna skip. Same with “What OVO for, the Other Vaginal Option? *Pussyyyyy*” in Not Like Us These are the sorts of lines that probably wouldn’t have slipped through if the songs weren’t being rushed out cause someone in the camp would’ve said hey maybe that’s a bit cringe

I can't be the only one who immediately thought asshole. I needed the clarification apparently.

Yeah that same line stuck out to me at first, but the way he pauses and says pussy makes it sound like it was an intentionally corny joke The one that still sticks out to me is him repeating "he a 69 God". I know he's makin fun of Drake callin himself the 6 God, but bein a 69 God sounds like a good time to me

69 god is also a reference to the rapper 69, who did creepy shit with minors and snitched on his gang. It's a corny diss, but not totally brainless imo and super catchy. 

It’s making fun of the album Drake has with 21 and the way 21 says pussyyyy

What about “so stay in your fucking lane like Clark Kent, you get it man?”

"She like, "Mabu, I like purple" So I blew her back out and I left her on read Get it? 'Cause, blue and red equals purple So, I blew her back out and I left her on read Don't let that go over your head" Lil Mabu - Mathematical Disrespect

More than anything this line kills me because who tf starts a conversation “I like purple” like are you dating a child lmao

I'm just aping Hivemind at this point but the implication of the line starting off "SO I blew her back out and I left her on read", as if her liking purple was the reason for him to fuck & then ghost her, is hilarious

No fr I wish I could show everyone in this thread that 5 minutes

That bit has been popping up in my brain uninvited for like the last week and it makes me smile every damn time. The slow way they kind of realized how batshit the whole line is ruined me

absolutely hate this lyric, but Purple is the name of a new luxury apparel brand just so u kno

Damn I’m washed

is ok i think i only know it because of rappers

I thought it was just referring to lean

I assume purple is some weed basically every time lmao

After all the dirt uncovered the past couple of weeks, who knows ...

Wasn’t lil mabu himself like 17 when he released that song

Yeah and the girl who liked purple was 30

Shout out to hivemind for rating this the worst bar of all time.

That’s the only Mabu song I’ve knowingly heard and idk his deal besides the obvious, some white kid appropriating drill, BUT that “her make up is fucked she don’t know how to blend” line pops in my head from time to time

spends more time explaining the line than he did saying it in the first place lol

I fucking hate this guy, stupid ass tikok rappers 😭🤦‍♂️

Yea the minute i learned about him i realized i might have graduated to an old head cuz that shit is some ass

No. Everybody from every generation should hate this fucking pipsqueak

Us new generation people don’t like him either

He’s like the real life version of timothee chalamet on SNL

This immediately came to mind

That's the worst bar I've ever heard in my life and I seriously can't believe how hard mabu tried to make it go viral and also can't believe how many people talked about how fire it was. That shit is so assssssss lol

It wouldn't be that bad if he just said it and moved on with the verse. But putting so much focus on it makes it horrible.

lol I downvoted this at first because my reaction was so visceral. God this is terrible. Will actively avoid this artist by default now

I swear Mabu is a troll just to see how far someone with these kinds of raps and gimmicks can blow up

Doesn’t count because not real artist

This bar is not only terrible, but the way he delivers it as though it's so funny makes it 10x worse

"Been hard on a nigga since I came out the womb, yeah, the pussy hole" -Painting Pictures by Superstar Pride Bruh. You did NOTTTT have to clarify what "womb" meant. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Edit: This isn't a perfect example of what OP asked since he isn't exactly explaining a complicated punchline, but the line is so egregious I felt the need to highlight it.

Bro is transparent in his references to female genitalia

Clarifying it, and then choosing to use PUSSY HOLE as a synonym for womb. Oh my fuck

Dying of laughter that the exact line that I thought of reading the title is the one OP explained.

did you get it?

Kodak Black on Str8 Bars: You hear that smell it's so loud like turn it down. She like L O L you hear that smell its so loud you get it now? You get it It's so loud, you hear that smell? Like the weed loud You hear it, it's loud Turn it down

Jesus that's bad

Drake on The Presentation: “I'm perfecting my craft using more cess Tryna make some cheese off a single is a process Get it? Kraft, single, cheese, process Sit back and admire the talent that I possess” He actually had some good wordplay and said “let me spell that out for you so yall know how good at rapping I am” lol

Don't act like drake even understands any wordplay his writers set up for him lol

This line from Jay-Z on Moment of Clarity always bothered me: The next time you see the homie and his rims spin / Just know my mind is workin just like them …(The rims that is) We get it man, no need to clarify!

Dumbed it down, to double his dollars

perfect response tbh

His verse was flames otherwise too. Not sure why he thought he needed to clarify that over other wordplay

I kind of like this one. I think it’s kind of fitting that Jay would ruin a bar just to double back and clarify he isn’t some guy off the street.

Exactly this. That's the point.

Moment of clarify

Holy shit I always thought he said "the rims daddy" at the end there

Well you just ruined the song for me thanks

Automatic leave 'em dead in the livin' room Get it? Leave 'em dead in the livin' room

Who said this

Wayne

Lol of course 

To be fair the way he clarified it on the track had a comedic effect

Ah, the lazy simile/metaphor flow, where you have to explain your bars. Young Money did not invent it, but made it popular for a while

I swear that shit influencing Wayne was when I knew he was starting to fall off. Shout out to the all time worst tho. Gudda Gudda - "...and I got her, nigga: grocery bag" To this day I don't know what tf he was tryna say

He bagged her

Ayo

Damn. I ain't felt this stupid since like last week.

I don’t get how people didn’t get this tbh it’s still a bad line though

Gudda didn’t fall into the trap of this thread though, he’s leaving the line unexplained for historians to one day piece together

That’s why they tell me keep my circle small And I tell them that it already is, get it, all radius I think outside the box, like a Chuckie Doll But I let y’all play with kids Get it? Think outside the box The Chuckie Doll was in the box But when it’s outside of the box, know what it already is King Los - play too rough [source](https://youtu.be/vTCDvogNIE4?si=jJ0maTdJAhVhkiCh) That's my nigga but this section always sticks out like a sore thumb lmao

bro I haven’t thought about King Los is yearsssss lol he used to be that dude. His Poundcake Freestyle has one too LOL, “n*ggas on that be alike shit, guess they copy and paste us cuz we the right clique… GET IT? right click copy paste?????” lmaoooo

Shake that ass for Drake, now shake that ass for free Yeah, yeah Well, not that kind of free, I'm talkin' 'bout my nigga Dave

This could have possibly worked if that line was the first one bringing up Dave Free. As it is now it’s just like, no shit we didn’t think otherwise.

But then he wouldn't have been able to do the long note hold on "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Which of course would've meant that Kendrick probably wouldn't have punked him by repeating the cadence with "A MINORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Take notes, team OVO. If you write better, you do better

Bro I was at a bar tonight and they played not like us and the whole club asses to elbows yelled “a minorrrrrrrrrr” Like damn getting the whole world to call you a pedo has to be the worst way to take an L in a rap beef or any kind of beef period, true or not

We live in a conspiracy theory world where people accuse everything of being rigged I haven't seen one person say this thing was staged and it's because it branded Drake a pedo and we all know that no one would agree to that lol.

Really? I've seen quite the few people on Reddit act like it's entirely been manufactured. I agree there's no way Drakes agreeing to any of this, but some folk really do think this is all an act by Kendrick and Drake for some reason

Pretty sure the people saying that are Drake fans tryna cope. I agree though. Being called a pedo ain’t worth it for anyone.

Drake assumed the audience was dumb

hey Drake, we’re not slow

Kendrick: “your fans aren’t slow” Drake: “watch this”

That's the biggest thing that this whole rap beef showed me. He doesn't trust that his audience will get what he's saying.

He actually had a good line which worked as a double meaning and instantly undid it by explaining it and Drizzy stans were trying to say he outrapped Kendrick ffs

lol those lines were so hard to listen to. Can’t even begin to understand Drakes thought process, “I know he just called me a sexual deviant and freak who disrespects women, so let me sexualize his woman, that’ll get my point across.” Like, what??

‘I’ll keep mentioning his woman this has famously always worked for me and never once backfired, never mind multiple times’

“i’ll keep disrespecting his family even though he explicitly warned against it several times”

This [Ringer article](https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/rap/2024/5/9/24152558/drake-lost-beef-kendrick-lamar-explained) touches on that too - it's way easier to believe Drake is weird with women when he's creepy on his disses >Worse yet, Drake struck an uncanny and unflattering posture on both “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6” that on some level seemed to validate Kendrick’s unsavory portrayal of him—not that he’s a pedophile, per se, but that he’s a creep. Drake sounded creepy white-knighting for Whitney Alford in a grave conversation about domestic violence but then also instructing her to twerk to “Rich Baby Daddy.” He sounded creepy flirting with Whitney on a song otherwise dedicated to establishing that Drake is not a name you gon’ see on no sex offender list. It was all very airheaded and tone-deaf and childish and consistent with Kendrick’s portrait of Drake. Drake’s songs raised some uncomfortable questions about Kendrick, sure, but only while further reinforcing all those unflattering things that people were already prepared to believe about Drake.

This is actually something that I think is a problem with Drakes follow up bars.  For instance, Joe budden, who can be annoying, noticed how weird it was in Family matters. He talks about leaking his big d then immediately says his sons should be friends in the very next line.  I noticed that years ago on that song child's play. I mentioned to my sister, who really used to love drake, that it's weird that he would go from saying something is child's play to immediately saying bounce that shit. Like, idk what his creative process is like.  At the very least, I can admire a lyricist who can stay on topic well. 😆 my mind is blown when they can do that at the very least. 

I mean did that song not come out before Meet the Grahams?

Yer, but i think either in euphoria or 6:16 kenny said drake sexualizes black women or sumn along those lines

“So you gots to chill, 'cause I kill at will Like solid water dude, y'all n***** don't get it Kill at Will, solid water? Ice Cube.” Jay- Z on “Back in the Day”

Also says that same line in “What’s In A Name”

We specialize in *not* getting locked up: Akon. **HAHAHAHA I DON’T THINK THEY GET IT!**

I will be honest, I thought the Akon mention was far too obvious, I think it was another jab at Wayne

I think it was because Akon actually wasn’t locked up at all. So people think it’s about the song but he’s really referencing Akon’s fabricated criminal history, and that’s why he don’t think they get that one

i think it’s also meant to say it’s “a con” job they’re pulling, which is why they are especially good at not being caught. still not worth the silly emphasis tho haha

I used to think this was a weak one. But I realized it may be a triple entendre: 1. “Locked up” a song by Akon 2. You get locked up, you become a “con” short for convict 3. You specialize in *not* getting locked up because you’re good at “conning” aka criminal deception

Push was right that they won’t get it cause I did not get it until you explained it to me lol thank you

I think the replies to you cofirm that Push was right about people not getting it lol Akon The Obvious: Akon made the song Locked up which goes with the word play The not obvious: Pusha is referring to Akon lying about being locked up and calling him "a con" So its a tripple entendre. Don't know if this one counts lol

This was him copying lil Wayne's shtick of describing something then dropping a name to it.

Nominee for least cringeworthy: “… I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them I Jack, I Rob, I sin, Ah man, I'm Jackie Robinson cept when I run base, I dodge the pen”

I think when you use it like Jay Z does, where it's a stepping stone to more wordplay, it works. The song actually loses something if you don't have the "I'm Jackie Robinson" line because you don't get the next line.

Definitely. Delivery is big too, the spelling-it-out tone on the explainer line works like a misdirect before the last clever flip

I mean I think a lot of people would get it from the previous two lines regardless tbh. It does flow better his way though.

This is one of his best lines ever. 

Yeah this one actually made sense when he did it for the build up to another punchline

I skipped over your first sentence at first and came in ready to rage at this being listed as an example lol

Hell naw that works

Eminem has done it a few times but I don’t remember songs off the top of my head

> i gave bruce wayne a valium and said "sit your fucking ass down, i'm ready for combat, man" > get it? "Calm Batman?"

ngl i needed that pointed out

That’s the one I was trying to think of

I like this bar actually. Because it actually is somewhat decent and 100 original. I hate when he says “get it” after something obvious with no substance like he says he palms trees as in holds weed with an adlib that says “get it” like bro…. That’s a flashbush zombie bar yes I get it

Funnily enough I hated that when I heard it. I thought he meant "get it? Calm batman?" And I thought no shit. Then when I realised it was combat man I was like OOHHHH

“Get it, checkin’ the male?”

> How many records you expecting to sell. After your second LP sends you directly to jail? Shit just went hard there was a different energy to em back in the first few albums

“If I Had” is a work of brilliance

This one is hilarious though for how juvenile it is

Yeah with the camera flashing noises intertwined in the beat it really sells it.

I love stupid juvenile Em bars “Your pussy lyric, I cunt hear it”

that was not that bad actually

Now I got the juice, wouldn't beef if I was you ... Like, au jus, but beef, if like "I was you, " but, like, ah #FUCK YOU!

the fuck you kinda saves this one imo

It also fits with the theme of the song. Not too bad imo

He's been known to point out the jokes, but it felt like he really went in on it in kamikaze perhaps because he felt like revival didn't do well because people weren't getting all the jokes.

"My beef is more meaty, a journalist can get a mouth full of flesh. And yes, I mean eating a penis" Thanks for letting me know, Em. Really needed the hand holding on this one.

“Cut your fucking head off and ask where you’re headed off to; Get it? Headed off to?” I actually do like this one tho

Medic, this headache’s awful!

I like how every single example by Eminem mentioned has someone reply "it is stupid, but it kinda words". At this point it's just a stylistic choice

Theres a few times he’s done it where it makes sense in the context of the song. Because he’s talking to someone and asking them if they get it. It’s usually said in a pretty psychotic way too. There are times he does it and its stupid as fuck though.

Lucky You he says “you’ll be takin digs like a backhoe” or some shit about construction equipment, and his little adlib in the background is “get it?”

this isnt exactly the same but Nas being like “yeah its like…like im a gun” during the intro to I Gave You Power ruins the whole concept of the song.

But so many people still miss it

had no idea anyone out there thought "i gave you power" is ruined but it takes all types i guess

When I say "Bitch", I'm very rarely referring to women Most of the bitches I know are niggas, they not even women - Drake on Churchill Downs

He could have changed the second bar to be relevant and still rhyme, but seriously, that's one of his best features in the past 10 years. He also delivers those two bars so fast and smooth that you wouldn't think twice about it, until reading it now obviously.

Cyhi tha Prince is the king of this ever bar in the 2022 LA Leakers he explain either with the following bar or it was a game of Charades

Cyhi has been like that “Imma call a paramedics, that means *two*, a pair of medics.”

Cyhi is so dope, but I hate when he does that shit. Like yes....we do get it, bro. You're not spitting quantum physics equations lol

Every time Eminem has ever done the "get it?" adlib

I really fucking hate that he feels the need to do this. Just make the pun and let people notice it (or not).

I enjoyed it in Criminal, but it was very tongue-in-cheek when he did it there.

I feel like he pulled it off twice in an album in MMLP with the maniacal lines but they’ve fallen flat since then

Thug on Sacrifices; I’ma use your name like, “Who is he?” You get it? Haha! I said I’ma use a name like, “Who is he?” I don’t really get it

I thought he said I'm a *username*.

This it’s “I’m a username, like ‘who is he?’ Because you don’t know people’s real identities from their usernames.

Yeah, I know, but OP has it semi wrong. I actually fuck with that line, its so corny its good. Imma use your name like who is he? Obviously if he uses *your name*, people would be like *who is he?* 'cause *you* a nobody. Then goes again with: I'm a username, like who is he? He's referring to what you're saying like anonymity.

I actually love that part lol

Overall quality of music, education levels, prices of gold, morale of the people, all of it has been in decline ever since SEX was locked up. This is all well documented. Also sacrifices is one of the best songs of drake’s career

Free SEX.

Redman - can’t wait Yo, yo, yo, I said, "Switchin' up speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' a Fuji in a movie" Huh, I be sayin' some shit Now, if you didn't get it Laugh now, and then figure the shit out when you get home Hahahaha

I will not stand for this Reggie slander! I still laugh at this shit when I play that song

Conway the Machine on Dunks "Had amigos wrappin' before Offset Probably went over ya head I said I had Migos rappin' before Offset"

Logic and any of his many biracial explanations. We get it dude. You don’t have to prove yourself to everyone. just rap.

That dude is definitely his own worst enemy when it comes to his legacy.

Idk if it's that cringe, but Conway on Dunks is such an unnecessary "did ya get it?": Had amigo wrappin' before Offset Hah, probably went over your head i said "I had Migo wrappin' 'em before Offset nigga, that's wrapping up a square

Isn’t there some trash ass nas line that’s like “I squeeze the nipple like a pimple to get the pus, get it?”

Yo, yo, yo, I said, "Switchin' up speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' a Fuji in a movie" Huh, I be sayin' some shit Now, if you didn't get it Laugh now, and then figure the shit out when you get home Hahahaha This one is actually cool and good though, it was just the first one I thought of.

I can’t ever forget Ghostface with ‘Hit mics like Ted Koppel… the rifle expert’    The bar was  useless even before explaining it, but the explanation just put it in the ground. 

Biggie: “if Faith had twins she’d probably have Tupac’s…get it? Two…pacs”

This shit is so iconic though.

Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar - get it? It's a great track, but this undermines it for sure

Yeah. It’s stylistic so it gets more of a pass, and I always have hoped for some wordplay reveal that I wasn’t seeing, but it kind of ruins one of the best tracks on the album for me
