Rap Lines That Make No Fu**king Sense: The Dope Rapper Edition

(Not) Fabolous - Wolves in Sheep Clothing (Soul Tape Version)

This doesn’t really count, at least in a “Dope Rappers Edition”, but I had to throw it in anyway. It’s been my mission in life to find a Fabolous line that doesn’t make any fucking sense, he spits so many punchlines you’d think it’d be easy, but actually the man almost never slips. That’s why I literally jumped out of my chair in celebration when I heard this line off his “Devil in a Blue Dress” freestyle….until I realized it wasn’t actually Loso, but instead a guest verse from a dude named Paul Cain. Damn you Fab, damn you!!!!!!!!! But as long as we’re here:

“Paul is sorta like, a nigga with the swag of a Yao Ming baller type.”

I won’t even touch the weird racial implications of that line, instead, allow me to first point out that in the entire history of the NBA there probably hasn’t been anyone with less swag than Yao Ming. Ok, maybe Greg Ostertag, or Shawn Bradley, but Yao’s not high on the swag list. Second, Yao’s essentially out of the NBA after a series of injuries, so not exactly the guy you want to compare yourself to.

In other words, that line could be roughly translated to, “Paul is sorta like, a nigga who’s also Chinese with no swag and suffers from chronic foot injuries.”
