      @@feedthemind3626 refer to this:
      So what we got here? Some top ramen 🍜 to some top tier? 🥇
      Some “top rhyming” to some “boxed ears”?
      “Top rhyming” meaning he is freestyling off the top, it is the best rhyming and is a literal box top as it covers those who dont or can’t even listen / understand
      To some…
      “Boxed ears” refers to you, the person who doesn’t understand what he is even doing here, boxing your ears by covering them makes you not able to properly hear, boxed ears are also punched swollen ears where you only hear the tinnitus ringing of the ears as the swelling also makes it hard to hear”
      There is usually even more and deeper meanings but this is what OP meant about the 2x & 3x (multiple) entendre at basically every single line, the metaphors also carry line to line, verse to verse to make more complex versions of 2x, 3x entendre similar to fractals

    Sometimes I come back just to marvel at the lyricism on this song.
    The entire "one hands a gun the other hands a silencer" scheme was so brilliant and im sure most people didn't even catch the extent of it.
    Bro this guy used different hand gestures (signalling when hitchhiking, making a bird with your hands, finger nail shells come out my pistol top". Also the subtle Alfred Hitchcock reference where he goes onto say "you get that plot?". Hitchcock was a famous director and worked on “Psycohotic”and “The Birds” which is all tied into the bar. Gifted lyricism
    then he goes on to personify his own wrist saying "I wear a rollie so my wrist don't watch (when his ":hand" gun fires...his wrist prefers not to look, but also the double meaning in "watch" is evident). But lupe finds this ironic because this is the same wrist he "shoots" the 3 with. Shoot being the metaphor.
    Crop circles

    • @andrer2635
      @andrer2635 9 років тому +16

      To be honest man I like them both, I think they are two sides of the same coin. Ive never seen two artist on the same wave length, views on government etc align. Its hard even comparing em because I fuck with them both BUT I do think Lupe is a better lyricist by far.Soul is like a slightly dumbed down version of Lu. I can listen to Soul's music and for the most part understand the message hes trying to convey with Lu I generally end up researching. For me listening to conscious hip hop is about learning and taking away something in the process. Not sure if that even answers the questions honestly

    The other part is SIR-Spheres (it’s a medical device used in radiation therapy to treat live tumors). So, this is a double entendre! Basically Sir cool (he’s ok) but he ain’t spheres (he ain’t strong/powerful/potent-cancer killing).

      Late reply but maybe ‘around’ also works, because to go around something, for example, going ‘around’ in a merry go round, is to go in a circle lol, and circles being a theme in the song. Maybe I’m doing too much idk. It doesn’t work in the context literally but phonetically it plays into the circle theme also.

    You don't even have to be too educated to understand the lyrics I'm sure this wouldn't even make sense to some people with a high IQ or what ever. You have to be able to think creatively in order to visualize what he's saying to understand it even though every body's understanding is different from the original thought anyway.

      +Stephen Webb It's actually sad. If people had basic reading comprehension from youth, read more and used the creative side of their brain,, I honestly believe he would not be that hard to understand.
      I get what you are saying but *frfr*, he is just speaking basic English. We sadly have been dumb down to not have basic English comprehension. You can see this with the "your, you're" people, the "use to, used to" people and the infamous "they. their, and they're" people.
      I dare say the average United States born person does not understand basic syntax, grammar rules or comprehend how to spell properly. Unfortunately I fall in that category as well and fight desperately everyday to set myself apart.
