12906725, paul mccartney's still alive.

you're thinking about Lennon, unless you're being sarcastic.
12906139, the sax/horn thing was a ridiculous nitpick.
Posted by KiloMcG, Fri Oct-02-15 01:07 PM
12906258, 'Dizzy Gillespie plays a sax' would have been a better choice

As far as horn-related hip-hop mistakes go
12906474, And what they said was wrong on two counts.

First, Kenny G plays a soprano saxophone. I think I've seen him play a tenor briefly, but he's known for the soprano.

And second, every woodwind or brass player I've ever met refers to their instrument as their "horn." Tuba, oboe, trumpet, saxophone, sackbutt... I don't think I've ever heard a recorder called a horn, for some reason, but that may be the only exception.

I've always known that I should work for Playboy. Now we have clear evidence of that.
12906135, I just clicked that link without looking at what it was...

Most places will give you that once or twice. If you're consistently trying to look at porn or questionable stuff that's when you get that cubicle visit.

Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Fri Oct-02-15 01:48 PM
Like how people think Nas says Afrocentic Asian instead of Afrocentic Agent

That woulda been better just off the strength of that one alone.

Speaking of, it's been over 20 years. Anyone figure out what Nas actually told lil man he was going?
12906705, "Told my little man I'm a ghost, I broze."
Posted by squeeg, Sun Oct-04-15 12:51 PM
Broze: nonexistent past tense of breeze

Nas explained it in a Rap Genius podcast interview last year.

12906440, i take issue with #'s 2, 5 and 6, this guy is likely a lame
Posted by dba_BAD, Sat Oct-03-15 12:23 AM
2 = purposeful to illustrate the absurdity/irrationality of overpolicing

5 = bananas are commonly referred to as growing on trees. would have been weird and obtuse to make the herb correlation

6 = whether or not he intended it to work this way, totally works in terms of 'are you into astrology' = 'what's your sign?'
12906442, You can't fix this... LOL
