So I created thing called "lyrical pockets". Things I say to point back to/deflect from particular bottom lines discussed in music.
It started with "From the Desk Of...". My lyrical pocket was to start every verse off with "See (C),...". I took note of it, and it is MISSING from "Sober Karaoke". By that time, I was doing Em ad-libs. Took note, and on "The Pink Lavalamp" Em ad-libs and bytes were replaced with shout-outs. That was my thing from 2006-08.
2008-2010, I would giggle. That was my pocket. I think Nicki took note of it and added it to her arsenal. But yeah. The innocently devilish laughter at the esoteric meanings of my lyrics would make me laugh, because even if your average listener didn't/doesn't get it, high society was put on notice.
Probably why I went through so much of what I did.
2012-2020 was me referencing my 2005-10 music, and either capitalizing or demeaning it. You would have to KNOW my music from the beginning to understand the growth/devolution. I got the idea from Melle Mel. Though it is somewhat of a jab to his old ass, it's the ULTIMATE tribute because he dead was killing it at the time of me seeing it.
I'm trying not to use "I" or "me" too much. One can express individual thoughts without being so wrapped in those words. However, as much as I do this for you, I do this for ME. The me that you KNOW. Not the KNOW that you me.
Go on a deep dive of "symbolism". I'll see ya there!!!
Does this oversized tee make me look fat?
