Eminem - Girls (question)

[StanBase]

There is a lot I don't understand about girls but someone please explain this to me:

oh, and by the way Fred
That wasn't an accident
I didn't mean to give you a play at the Music Awards

I think Em is talking about leaving Fred Durst hanging on a high five at the music awards. But I can't make any sense on the sentences. Is there a double negative or something? "Wasn't" and "didn't" seems to contradict each other. My brain wtf

[StanBase]

Yeah I checked there first, but what does "give a play" mean? Letting him perform or playing him by not returning the high five?

[Him Shadow]

never heard of that phrase tbh

[StanBase]

Playing him by not returning the high five I guess

In that case he would say the he DID mean to give him a play tho

[StanBase]

That's not the kind of sentence where you use a double negative either

He was saying he intended to ignore him during the music awards.

Ok I kinda understand so everybody please forget this embarrassing thread

I fucking love this song. And lately I love the talking outro. In the car I rap along with Em, and even do the whole outro with a dead serious voice. Love it.

It's the first song I put on when going somewhere.
