Eight Best Lines of 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne’s ‘ColleGrove’

There’s one certainty that comes with the idea of a 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne collaborative album: the lyrics will be outrageous. The two are some of the most creative with the metaphors, bragging boasts, and punchlines. Living this life through their rhymes, they’re bound to a ton of criticism. They spit a hot line, they get praised. Once they slip up, those same people are flooding their Twitter mentions with poop emojis.

Half the fun is listening to ColleGrove and pulling apart some of the lyrics. So, put your funny face on and continue reading for some of the best and most memorable lyrics.

Drug dealers coming and going. Drug highs the same. Prices going up because of the tough economy. The jewel here is the last line. Sometimes, Genius is useful for a line like that since it’s easy to overlook. As many films have shown us, crying in the rain is not easily identifiable. Undercover cops are the same way. Hidden from plain view until you get closer and can determine that, yes, the person is crying in the rain and that person over there is a cop.

Not only do we live in a time where trapping is considered a sport, but it’s also recognized in the Olympics. Unless, 2 Chainz is one of those people who visits the mall kiosk to buy himself a “world’s greatest dad” mug, then we might need a polygraph test on where this gold medal came from.

Wayne, you clever. When he wants to, Weezy can still kick some grade A punchlines. Imagining rappers doing normal people things is also a recurring theme on ColleGrove, and it’s hilarious. Excuse me as I figure out a way to get my show Hip-Hop Doctors green-lit on VH1.

Picture telling your significant other to play some music while you get it on tonight. He/she clicks play and it’s Pastor Troy’s “No Mo Play In GA.” Would you be able to concentrate right? This should totally be a Youtube prank video just to see the reactions.

This borders between great and terrible. Wayne deserves points for a Simpsons reference (what is his favorite episode, though!?), but the more you look at the line the more it feels a tad corny. Nobody has ever turned Marge’s baby girl into a gun, so it’s acceptable. 50 points for Young Money.

*insert meme of new rappers with 2 Chainz’s face over theirs* (note: my photoshop skills are too amateur to do so).

The idea that Lil Wayne can carry multiple machine guns into your house with no extra help is enough to make the list. Sounds more like a comedy skit than a threat, but I don’t want to end up dead with Boy Meets World season five playing. Don’t test mighty machine gun Weezy.

The braggadocios side of 2 Chainz is often the best side. We could evaluate the fact that his favorite hustler is the same one who is stealing from the guy he just made a collaborative album with. We’d all walk away with headaches, though.
