There is a solid case to be made that every rapper in the history of rap music has lied at least once. Some, like Drake and Rick Ross, lie all the time. Rick Ross has even made a career out of lying. With that being said, some lies rise above the rest and stick out like a sore thumb.
“Lost 92 bricks, had to fall back,” Jay Z
After Googling the cost of a brick, I found out that Jay Z is rapping about casually losing millions of dollars. I understand Jay Z is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but this is before he earned all of that. Unless he just rapped to support his drug-dealing career.
“Messed around and got a triple-double,” Ice Cube
In today’s NBA, Russell Westbrook and James Harden accumulate triple-doubles regularly, but they still having nothing on Ice Cube. The best part is how Cube was just messing around while accumulating all of these stats in a game to 21. Unless they were running full-court to 50, it is almost impossible to produce a triple-double in pick-up basketball. Strangely enough, all three of them are from Los Angeles, so maybe there is just something in the water over there.
“My bathtub lift up, my walls do a 360, we got the stuff that the government got” Jadakiss
There are so many layers to this lie I do not know where to begin. Like what is the purpose of your bathtub doubling as a transformer? What happens if you have guests over? One button will change the heat while the next one causes a super transformation. My best guess is that Jadakiss is an undercover superhero who needs to always be alert. If trouble is in the city while he is showering, that will not stop him. Also, if Joe Biden did have access to something of this caliber I would not be opposed. Let’s get Biden a badass bathtub!
“With a record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults and 4 murders,” Eminem
As an avid Grand Theft Auto player, I assumed Slim Shady was bragging about a casual Tuesday in San Andreas, but I was wrong. Eminem must have some serious anger issues to go through with these 421 law-breaking actions. The justice system is also quite flawed if he keeps getting off scot-free after doing all of this. At least he did not kill his baby mother in this song.
“You gone hype me up and make me catch a body like that,” Drake
I am still convinced Drake has never been in a fight in his life, so him "catching a body" would be interesting. Him throwing a drink in a guy’s face seems more likely than him catching a body, but don’t tempt Drake. Especially if you are Meek Mill, someone who actually found a way to get destroyed by Drake.
