"But I heard you blew a nigga with a ox for the phone piece."
- Nas, One Love
All right, look. This doesn't mean what you think it means. I still get to file this under kinda gay-sounding. And it's funny to think of a guy holding the reins to an ox getting blown by another guy. All because he wanted to use the phone.



sorry to tell you but your stupidity is larger than your ignorance. An "ox" is a slang term commonly refereing to a razor blade.
ReplyDeleteUmm...I think he/she KNOWS that. They said it doesnt mean that, but it sounds funny! damn
ReplyDeleteUm, also, "your stupidity is larger than your ignorance" is as inane as any of the lyrics on this site.
ReplyDelete"Dude I really need to use the phone!"
ReplyDelete"That guy with the ox might have one."
"Awesome. Think he'll let me use it if I blow him?"
"Definitely."
It brings about the question, what type of dude would actually be desperate enough to use the phone that he would blow random men holding the reins to an ox...
ReplyDelete"Dude, just get a cellphone, jeez."
so, how exactly does the razor blade make it less gay?
ReplyDeleteIsn't anyone questioning what my man is doing with an Ox in the mothafuckin hood ?
ReplyDeleteyou guys are all idiots.
ReplyDeleteif you heard the song, he's writing to his homie in jail. ox is a term for razorblade derived from american prisons, meaning Nas was genius enough to even refer to it as he would in an actual convo with someone in jail. it's not meant for every idiot that presses play to get it, it's meant for him to get out what he wants to say how he wants it said.
and if you ever knew anyone that went to jail, ask 'em about that phone. they know there's nothing but trouble for those that hop on it for too long.
bottom line: another failure by snacks and shit. making the already ignorant listeners even more ignorant. fuck it. im set on making a website. one thats more real. this website takes shit too literal sometimes. im just glad u guys dont listen to lupe. you wouldnt get a single metaphor from his last album. buncha fucking idiots.
So Raul, let me get this right– we're idiots because we're NOT familiar with the finer points of prison slang? Where did you say you did your post-graduate work again?
ReplyDeleteNo, you're idiots for ridiculing it becase you're ignorant, and then defending your ignorance by being like "what why should we knwo that?".
ReplyDeleteyep, dude blew paul bunyan. because you know what, even shakespeare is funny if you taken the symbolism literally. lighten up.
ReplyDeleteps. paul bunyan had a giant blue "ox". he's kinda funny too, and also has subtle homosexual overtones.
