"No room service just snacks and shit."
- Jay-Z, Hey Papi
This is the line that started our whole obsession with rap and hip-hop lyrics.
Honestly, this sounds more like something my dad would say. "Remember, no ordering room service. It's too expensive. Plus, I brought snacks."
This blog is about rap and hip-hop lyrics that are absolutely absurd, ludicrous, nonsensical, ridiculous, basic, basically stupid, basically bad, basically basic, or preposterous. We also take some lines and examine them literally. In the words of one of our critics, we are "willfully obtuse". Call it what you want. Hopefully we don't get capped. You have to understand that we really do love rap and all of these artists that we kid about.
(We're not just saying that.)
Listen/Buy "Hey Papi"
I believe you.

Thats not how I read this lyric at all. It sounds like the hotel is crappy, and all he can get is snacks, as there is no room service.

Well, snack-a-doodle doo! These here sizznacks combined with the shizznit totally gives snacking a new approach, not to mention the lyrics that come to mind... Jay-Z says in T.I. song, Swagger Like Us, cant wear skinny jeans cause my knots dont fit, Scotty says, cant wear skinny jeans cause my snacks dont fit :)Totally glad to have come across the site, Im digging what yall got snack-a-lackin. Im in that LA yerea, holler at me if interested in catching up some time, got some ideas for throwing a little twist over here w yous guys. Regardless, be cool to hang.Scott @scottysnacks

What he means is that he is not going to spend money on the chicks; just snacks and sh*t. If you look at the phrase contextually, youll see that the preceding line is, I went to One Trump Plaza on their asess and the following line is work with those lil Debbies (those cheap cakes). Hes emphasizing that despite going to a luxe hotel, he still will not trick unecessarily. The line is not foolish at all! You guys should leave rap interpretation to folks who can actually decipher and understand it. @blueenigmaNYC

Okay look. Im not a fan of doing this, so Im going to do this once. If you think I (we) dont know what this line and any other line on this site actually means and youre actually enlightening me (us), then youre an idiot. Also, if youre someone who thinks youre exposing our game of taking lyrics out of context, youre also an idiot. Yeah, we do that sometimes. We think its funny.Thats it.

Hahahaha,Oh, cmon, Chris. I think when they think youre serious, and actually try to EXPLAIN TO YOU what the lyric actually means is the best part. Haha, like youre the one with something wrong with you. I guess you dont get it ;-)I read backwards from the most recent post to about #50, and then had to stop, because Im going to vomit from laughing. Now my throat is fucked up all day.-Jack

I just read all of these in reverse chronological order, laughed for a couple of hours and Ive been asked several times if Im crying, upset, or okay. Haha. I have had to explain myself and pass this shit on every time. This is out of control. Just incredible.
