Presumably, they ate food there and chatted.
2 Chainz was at a strip club where he found a stripper named “Alexis” from “Texas.” Perhaps it was the porn star Alexis Texas? But, anyway, after she did her thing on the stage, 2 Chainz brought her out to the Waffle House (where else would be open?). This is a lyric most of us can relate too. “Our first date was at the waffle house.” Porn star Alexis Texas, source Twitter Don’t think making guns illegal is going stop dem’ either. 2 Chainz’s clique becomes his “click” implying his clique is always locked, loaded, and not afraid to shoot your dumb brains out with guns if you’re acting whack (we know from other songs his favorite gun of choice is an AK-47). So don’t act whack around 2 Chainz. The wordplay in this particular instance is noteworthy.
“Click full of killers, please don’t get us excited.”Ģ Chainz lays some real vituperation on anyone who talks shit about him and his crew. Or is it just that there are no limits at all for 2 Chainz? Or, damn, did 2 Chainz get pissed off and really just rip off the ceiling on his car? Who knows. If you be high on the purple drank, you might read it that 2 Chainz is really, really high and there is no ceiling on how high 2 Chainz can get.
Louis might read this lyric to mean 2 Chainz has arrived at the club in a convertible. “Pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing.”Ī multivalent lyric if there ever was one, where meaning can only be approached phenomenologically. In fact, crack might just run naturally in his blood. In short, 2 Chainz has a lot of crack 24/7. 2 Chainz even has crack at places that one just shouldn’t have crack like at U.S Customs office, a kindergarden class room, or a police station. Whether 2 Chainz is on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, at Chick-fil-A in Atlanta eating delicious chicken sandwiches with delicious sauces, slappin’ hoes with his dick at the after party after party, or just hangin’ in his crib watching Buckwild or Jeopardy – he’s got crack. What is suggested by this line is that 2 Chainz always has crack on him. “No matters where I am at I got crack.” 2 Chainz after getting arrested, source Instagram
Story” (2012) like a college kid writing a paper on opera or ancient Greece or whatever. So I’m going to examine me some 2 Chainz lyrics from his fresh-ass album “Based On a T.R.U. Anyway, my point is this. Rap is like opera and classic literature. Plato? That bro was just some horny little gaylord running around talking shit. You know, like, The Iliad? That shit is just a bunch of violence, sex, and immature homeboys and homegirls running around the planet all jizzed up on war spoils, libations, and booty. Yet because opera is unpopular and fringe today most people elevate it to fancy swanky high art. Opera is just a bunch of melodramatic, silly lyrics fused with some powerful vocal and instrumental texture. Same thing is true with a lot of classical literature. Duh, anyone who knows anything about culture knows that.
