Labtop in my back pocket line

[CallMeBDB]

Yeah, no...

Definitely not poor.

If you think it is... you're not giving it enough credit. By no means is it earth shattering, but to call it lazy or sloppy is just... wrong.

This isn't some "Real G's roll in silent like lasagna" wordplay (courtesy of Lil' Wayne). Now THAT... that is some lazy shit.

Em base and y'all, I think this line really flew over your heads. That was a brilliant line. Brilliant. You need to look into it deeper. It wasn't just being lazy, it was an epic line. If not for the smart phones, Em would have never said something like that. Plus the line coincides with the other lines in that bar. Think, think.

[Hopsinshadie]

It's a shoddy/lazy line. Because having a laptop in his backpocket doesn't therefore imply the laptop is in any way connected to rap or rapping... there's no connect between the laptop being there and the feedline... it's literally just a pun with gene/jeans and a lazy connection with laptop, probably for the sake of the 'backpocket' rhyme.

Surprisingly lazy line to open the song with given the standard of the rest (or most of) the lyricism.

I respect you and you usually have the right idea, but this line totally flew over your head dog. And you are smart.

Before you go any further, remember his 2nd verse in Berzerk? Come on. Eminem was pretty witty, maybe not earth shattering, but you seem to not understand the brilliance in that line. It's a little inaccurate to say he made that line just to rhyme. You have to think outside the box a little more. Eminem is not that stupid. He's not as out of touch as you're assuming.

But you like "hold them bitches straighter up wave 'em til you dislocate a rotator cuff" lol

But that's not lazy.

That's a nice bit of word emphasis, which works.

The laptop line however, doesn't.

How is it wrong to call it lazy?

Explain to me how the line works all the way around then?

But you can't even dislocate a rotator cuff

Eminembase, you don't get it, dam out of all people

[SliK]

No I'm sure he gets it. I think what he's saying is, having a computer in your genes actually has nothing to do with rapping.

[Hopsinshadie]

em for sure still uses a flip phone lol

I miss the flips. Loved opening them. Plus my iphone is wayyyy too bright. It has wayyy less battery as well. I had to dumb my smart phone down. No vibrating when someone calls, no notification via email, no facebook app, etc... That constant notification was killing my mind. I really miss the flip phones. Unfortunately smart phones make us dumber.

Well it has to do with a robot/ rap bot

I thought it was a shot at Drake and Lil Wayne.

yea I mean it could be. It's easy for people to say it was just word play, but no. Em definitely was thinking about something or someone when he wrote that line and it coulda been drake

[Sam.]

I remember Drake saying that he carries a Smartphone(Laptop) with him all the time to jot down his thoughts. So, could be a shot.
