Explain this line

[ShadyxEminem]

"You hear this finger? Oh, it's upside down. Here, lemme turn this motherfucker up right now"

I never got this line.

I think that 'turn up' has two meanings. One for 'turning up the volume' ('you hear this finger?'). And one for like, turning up his middle finger, which is upside down.

It may seem like a retarded explanation, but English isn't my first language and I didn't understand the line at first. Hope that my thought is right.

This is a good explanation

He is talking about his middle "fuck you" finger being upside down. Then saying "oh it's upside down?", "Here, let me turn this motherfucker up right now". Turns middle finger upright, so it means "fuck you". In old concerts he demonstrates this, like the one where he comes out with a chainsaw and jason mask.

That's how I see it anyway's.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

stop over analyzing

[Snakebeast]

The middle finger (when up) is universally understood as sign language for "fuck you". Therefore "you hear this finger?"

Always took it as this, thought everyone did too lol

[UofLCard]

When his finger is upside down no one can understand him but when he turns it around its pretty much self explanatory, he fixes it.

I'm like 90% sure it has nothing to do with turning up the volume.

"Do you HEAR this finger?"

[Jimmy Conway]

He's just putting emphasis on the fact that he doesn't give a fuck. No one flips someone off with their hand down, but if they did, it would seem really passive. So he is turning it up. To see it, to hear it louder. There's no subtly, it's intensity, turning up the volume on his just don't give a fuck mind set that he really doesnt have but wants us to believe.

[SliK]

I think he intended it to be a double entendre. Playing on the phrase "turn it up right now"

I.e "turn it upright, now" and "turn it up, right now".

[SliK]

Rap genius is so stupid, half the time it is written by retards. That ^ should go without saying. The real genius of the line is the double entendre.
