Yes, 2 Chainz has one of the best verses on More Life and yes, he’s quietly spent the last 18 months being one of the very best rappers alive. “Pretty Girls Like Trap Music, so I woke up with my wood hard” - 2 Chainz, "Sacrifices" I would love to watch Drake and Travis fight it out over who’s Kid and who’s Play, though. In all fairness, Travis probably didn’t hear that song before writing his verse for “Portland,” but that doesn’t change the fact it’s a terrible line, period. But when you sit and think about it for, like, three seconds, shouldn’t a frozen heart be easier to break, in the physical sense? Like how thieves freeze padlocks with a can of compressed air and just smash them open with a hammer? Lo, Serena Williams or whichever crush he’s currently chasing. Drake is saying his heart is too cold, too hardened by fights at Cheesecake to be broken by J. “My heart is way too frozen to get broken” - Drake, "Madiba Riddim"Īt first glance, this line is perfectly fine, if not a little cringeworthy. So either Giggs was Britain’s most dedicated Textiles student, or this is just a rap line that makes no fucking sense. Point is, I can’t remember ever using a textbook in Textiles class (or maybe we did but I was too busy trying to put tie-dye in everyone’s hair). Great if you want to go into fashion design, but not that great if you know you’re just gonna throw clothes out when they get even the tiniest of rips. Textiles is what they call Home Economics in the UK (where I went to school, so I should know), except it’s a whole class centered around sewing terrible pockets onto already terrible shirts. Maybe if it’s a number that’s no longer in service, but don’t phone companies reissue old numbers straight away? I can't count the number of times I thought I was texting a friend, only to get hit with the “new phone, who dis?”
“I drunk text J-Lo / Old number, so it bounce back” - Drake, "Free Smoke"ĭo texts still bounce back? Is that a thing in 2017? I honestly can’t remember the last time that happened to me.

Instead, it’s “a dare-Drake’s warning to anyone thinking of testing him that if they do, he’ll crush them.” Maybe it’s another Toronto thing that goes over everyone else’s heads, but to me, “free smoke” sounds like something your weed guy would say when the mid isn’t selling (which should immediately make you suspicious anyway, because free weed is always too good to be true).Įither that or it’s Drake’s Joker-style catchphrase as he blows a thick cloud of hookah smoke in your face, disabling your senses before Baka’s rock-sized fist comes flying towards your dome. According to Genius annotators, “Free smoke” doesn’t have anything to do with Smoke Dawg.
