List mistakes or errors you noticed in songs

[R=G]

Silk the Shocker's entire catalog

 

[elizjon]

I always laugh at that line not only because it's wrong but also because Pac previously did an interview taking shots at NY rappers giving themselves mafia aliases and pointed out how they be getting the names wrong.

“They just love the sound of an italian nikkas name”

“They just love the sound of an italian nikkas name”

 

[Why-Fi]

like a b-r-i-d in the s-k-y

capelka makes ya vomit

On "CREAM", Meth begins the hook like a bar or two early and catches his self....that first time he yells "CASH RULES!"

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

But your boy got a mean plan
To get my team out the ghetto
With my boys in stilettos

Til this day I don't understand how he made this mistake. Like how the hell did you not know that stilettos are heels?

that line caught me off guard back in the day and thats when i learned that Stilletto's are also Knives


Free never specified tho

 

[Slim Charles]

Pass da mustard

Ah sorry bruh I used my brother in law’s MasterClass account but he doesn’t have the account anymore

As a Muslim some of the pronunciation of Arabic/ Islamic words by some rappers is terrible

Some who clearly know Islam do pronounce things OK like Yasin Bey and Beanie Sigel/ Freeway

But say Kanye. He said Allahu Akbar in Heard em say. Took me a ages to realise he was saying that. Also surprisingly Lupe’s pronunciation of Bismallah on the Intro to Food and Liquor was surprisingly off by quite a bit

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

“First family, will gradually, LIFT that ass (pause) UP like GRAVITY…”





I guess gravity lifts in the case of tides being pulled by the moon, but gravity usually holds things down toward a center of mass.

When I say mistake or error, it could literally be something the rapper said was factually wrong, mispelled or mispronounced a word (and not for cadence purposes, they really said the word wrong by accident), issue with the production (sound quality, skipping, drums are off, etc...) or it could be background sounds that shouldn't have been left in, etc...

An example Kanye West: "I'm in Too Deep like Mekhi Phife"

I think Kanye meant how Mekhi Phife in Paid in Full was "in too deep" in terms of how he died and how he lost his nephew

Jay-Z’s “Jigga My N*gga”

The woman near the end of the song keeps singing after she was suppose to stop and you can tell because you hear her say “whoops” and then stop abruptly

4:15 mark

that woman was eve.

 

[Alvin]

seems like the reel messed up in the beginning & Rae says “the fukk”

yup was going to add this

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

“Make nothing outta something…”



Isn’t it supposed to be “make nothing INTO something” or more commonly said “make something from nothing”?



That always bothered me.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

Nas got two on It Ain't Hard To Tell. He said magmatize which isn't a word and said Sly Stone in Cobra. In his Masterclass he mentions these actually and said although mistake, he quite likes in his rhymes having these imperfections that come from when writing

Wait…



I never caught he said Stone instead of Stallone. Wow.

On Temperature's Rising when Havoc says

"Hoping to find who they looking for, but they won't succeed
All they gonna find is mad empty bags of weed"

I know what he was trying to say but how can you have an empty bag of weed? the math ain't mathing lmao
