It's near blasphemy to criticize a Kool G Rap verse, BUT
In "FAST LIFE"

Up in casinos just me and my dino primo Pushin' beam-o's then parlay in Reno with two fly Latinos

Could go either way, but I always heard it as" chilling with chicks", and it would be Latinas.
Could be talking about setting up moves with Latin dudes who dress sharp. We'll never know. Oh Boy (George)

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

"Learn to put the weed in the bag first, and THEN get money!"

 

[Mike the Executioner]

On "King of Rock," Run says "There’s three of us, but we're not the Beatles."

For a while, I thought he was taking a shot at the Beatles because John Lennon was dead, but then I read an interview from 1988 where Run said that he actually thought there were three Beatles. DMC knew there were four and never said anything until the interview.

On "You Know My Steez," Guru actually starts the song early. He was supposed to come in a few seconds later, but DJ Premier wasn't in the studio that day so Guru decided to record the vocals on his own. Premier kept it the way it was because he liked the way it sounded.

Another Gang Starr fact: "The ? Remainz" has a sample that sounds like static because the vinyl had water damage.

H to the Izzo

"Used to hustle down in V-A
Was hurting em, in the home of the Terrapins"

Was hurting em in the home of the (UVA) Cavaliers, not the home of the (Maryland) Terrapins.

When MFers were going OT in the 1980s, they didn't know or care where they were setting up shop,

hehehehehehe

[LOST IN THE SAUCE]

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

Alawyou ockpuh, Alawyou ockpuh
Walking over water, I can touch the stars

 

[DontEemTry]

While not necessarily an error...but did Biggie plagiarize some other nikkas 10 Crack Commandments?

Coz first he tries to claim it's his very own list when he says "It's rules to this shyt, I wrote me a manual"

But then he exposed himself as a homework copier by stating

"Number 9 shoulda been Number 1 to me"

nikka, is it yo list or not?
