Young Money, "Bedrock": A pop song review

[sherifam]

I idolize you.

[lolsmileyfacegirlxxx]

xD only girl can get more girls than the guys boring i laughd at that

[prue6967]

I love how "Drake" is pretending to be all gangster and whatnot. Dude, you're that guy in the wheelchair from DEGRASSI.

[arexyouxepicxenough]

@prue6967 Yeah.... throwing around the world nigger like pac.

[aburrows2008]

still dont get the london red telephone box in the video lolz

[StrangeEmily88]

ahaha Betty Boop on helium.

[Doomcaster96]

Fun fact:

Grocery bag means an assortment of narcotics. Gudda Gudda wants to get them high

[TheMykcal]

@Doomcaster96 The more you know, and knowing is half the battle.

[QueenAnime99]

@LadyCorsaires In this particular song, I think "grocery bag" means "I 'bagged' her" i.e. "I hooked up with her." Good day.

[J4hbulon]

no man!!  DONT DO IT!! Todd!, No!

[shady44x]

umm... i agree with the other groups at the beginning except in (my opinion) in g-unit young buck was good and lloyd banks is good and in d-12 proof was good and bizzare is good

[EmoNekoChan]

I'm surprised that Todd hasn't done a Nicki Minaj song by now... maybe in the future.

Oh, and "Grocery bag!". That never gets old :)

[milksteak74]

That Grocery Bag line will always be hilarious to me. As if the line wasn't bad enough they paused the music like it was a sick line.

[glisteningdarkness]

Not only that but this is not my idea of parodying my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoon. I hope the assholes that wrote/performed this "song" all end up in rehab.

[glisteningdarkness]

This man knows what he's talking about. Young Money, and all this so-called "rap" we hear today is ear death. Some of the worst components of bubblegum wrap come from this song-- Nicki Minaj and Drake....Lil Wayne sucks too...actually they all sound like they're puking pizza back up. You wanna hear some decent rap? Go back to the 80's. Even better-- pick up an Isaac Hayes or Curtis Mayfield album...great street-wise music with an edge. Do any white, middle-class snobs even know what I mean?

[MrGarrukwildspeaker]

if country people sang this song they would be labled mentally challenged

[arexyouxepicxenough]

D12 are awesome though.

[julian8456]

I want that line on a T-shirt!

[VirtualBoy500]

Normally, I wouldn't waste a comment to say this, but...

GOOOOD GOD, I HATE THIS FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nesgamer44]

All pop songs sound pretty epic on piano :D

[MoarDoctorWho]

turn on audio captions at 7:36

[Masterhuffnpuff]

@MoarDoctorWho

Ok, let's see what happens

(He's new restaurant forebrain the one who are on the tracking probably more growth in the skies)

......Um......Grocery bag!

[shadowlizard4sauke]

whats worse is lloyd used the bedrock line on wild n out...about a year before this song

[jegsimmonsproduction]

@shadowlizard4sauke wild n out still exist?

[shadowlizard4sauke]

@jegsimmonsproduction not any more went poff air i think in 07. It eas funny tho

[Tublemon]

Nicki Minaj cut-off prevention is the best cut-off prevention.

[toSTONEiGO]

And i gotta (nigga) grocery bag. LOLOLOL HAHA

[joeymills1]

thankyou very much for categorizing this as pop and not hip hop!!

[IHaveNoName4826]

It's a song, who cares, way to overreact.

[jellywillreturn]

@IHaveNoName4826

You do realize he's paid to do this?

[SurrenderToLola]

That Loyde dude who sang the chorus looks like that dude that sang "The Humpty-Hump" from the 90s :P

[SurrenderToLola]

But I do have to say.... Drake... Me gusta... :)

[meganbieber4ever]

i freakin love lil wayne and this song



[da8bitNinja]

@meganbieber4ever

with your amazing taste in music, found out by your username, we couldn't possibly tell!

[keithduncan22]

this review is hilarious! but, nikki minaj is really popular now so at least one of them made it... Broken glass!

[SurrenderToLola]

Lil' Wayne is someone who I cannot comprehend how he got his popularity and how women see him as attractive. Seriously. If I woke up after a night of drinking, head pounding, and I rolled over to see someone who looked like Lil' Wayne, I would probably take a bucket of rubbing alcohol to my body before getting myself tested for every disease possible. His voice is very generic and his teeth are just gross. I will never understand him...

[techman987]

say it with me kids GROCERY BAG

[360thatguy]

well some of the unedited lines keep parts in,in the little wayne part has like a soccer team

[nintendopet114]

What is that foreplay scene from?

[MunkyDrag0n]

Nikki Manaj can sing if she really tries and adds a shitload of autotune. I like Super Bass. However, she can't rap for shit. She sounds like a ten-year-old. Her lyrics are meaningless and irritating. She looks like a Barbie doll with sunburn. She only looks and sounds good in black men's wet dreams. Even then, she probably isn't singing and has her back turned to them if you know what I mean...

[AidansVlog]

@MunkyDrag0n as a black male i can assure you she is the opposite of attractive, she's repulsive

[MunkyDrag0n]

@AidansVlog Like I said, she is only in their wet dreams if she has her back to them. Or do you think she even fails in that department?

[AidansVlog]

@MunkyDrag0n meh... it doesn't really stir anything in me

[MunkyDrag0n]

@AidansVlog Then a lot of guys watching Super Bass are either lying or have low standards.

[AidansVlog]

@MunkyDrag0n well i can't say much for their taste, case in point, look at what music is popular today, people are clearly delusional and shallow so maybe "minaj" appeals to their jersey shore life style

[5196Tpffan]

@MunkyDrag0n Some of her songs can be good, like "Fly" and "Moment For Life" but some are horrible, like Bedrock.

[MyLadyGreensleeves77]

Grocery bag.

[ProfessorRJLupin]

This song really sucks. Hip hop is dead. Except for Lupe Fiasco and Talib Kweli.  The lyrics in this song are just dreadful, and, since rap has no tune, the lyrics are the really important part. The only good part is the referrence to Face Off, an awesome movie: "I hate to see her go, but I love to watch her leave." But Lil Wayne is truly awful and overrated, and so are his minions.

[Joeltheguymanwhateve]

Lil' Wayne for life!

[cottodabodykill]

that girl needs slapped

[kkslider555]

I love Todd's excitement for the title. "BEDROCK!"

[VirgieJ87]

If only we knew how famous Nicki Minaj would become... Still trying to figure out that one.

[elltell1990]

@VirgieJ87 Only female rapper in the mainstream right now. Plus her other assets. I don't need to go into anymore detail than that.

[LiNaK37]

@elltell1990 Oh yeah, Nicki Minaj definitely looks nice. Too bad she sounds awful.

[Zegilgamesh]

"SIr Gudda ,What do you think of the president's health care policy, and how do you feel it will affect the economy?"

"Grocery Bag"

[Sewblon]

@Zegilgamesh So Gudda Gudda is Tim Geitner.

[TheTsugnawmi2010]

And then Nicki Minaj went on to be the next breakout star from Young Money...didn't see that one coming did ya Todd?

[DrGnockerz]

@TheTsugnawmi2010 She still sucks, plus Todd admitted that she's the least generic person from this travesty of a group.

[TheWarnerSister]

The "GROCERY BAAAAAAG!" at the end always cracks me up.

[WhiteRoseWithering96]

This song is everything I hate about pop music. 

[Dstorm20xx]

Wait,...

so his girl was watching tv, he takes the remote from her and forces her to watch his show, afterwards they have sex....

Being a douch= Romance.

[theYoda98]

Drake must clearly be the most decent rapper here

[Bob2IzIcon]

GUDDA GUDDA.

AI WANNA GUDDA GUDDA BURGA!

[BaconSquishy]

Nicki Minaj has like 4 settings: Rugrats, Scary as Fuck, Incomprehensible/unlistenable and Inbetween/tolerable

[TheManicKoala]

Ah, the irony that the Rugrat would become apparently a big rapper or something like that? Ugh... Nicki Minaj really makes my ears bleed.

[666unknowndevil666]

Gudda has the two worst lines in the song.

"I See Me With Her, No Stevie Wonder . . .

. . . And I Got Her Nigga,Grocery Bag."

He says how he can see his girl because he isn't blind, like Stevie Wonder, Obviously used for the rhyme, But he could have replaced the horrible analogy with "She full of wonder." It would be corny but better than "No Stevie Wonder"

And he could have also said "And I got her like groceries in a bag," just stay with the beat, but he's probably to dumb to do that.

[fieryshadowcard]

The underlying tone is that because they produce GOOD songs they can get away with things. This is just a bad, bad song where only Nikki, Drake and Wayne will stand any chance of being remembered from it, at best. This definitely not any of their best work, either. Also, when was the last time you commended the bigwigs from the bailouts for "makin paper"? Making money does not necessarily equal being worthy of respect. But since you're about as tasteless as this song I can see how you'd like it.

[fieryshadowcard]

Continuing on, this might have been a different case if the song was going for humor and not meant to be taken seriously, but this is a clear attempt at trying to pass itself off as a love song or a "drop their panties" song. And there are far, far better songs out there. From singers and rappers alike. I know celebrities can say about anything and still get laid, but for music artists, that's generally outside of their songs.

[cplabra1992]

This guy doesn't know talent at least there makin paper while his ass is still at momas house recording this vedio young money is takin over the game so for lil punks like this guy STFU!!! Shout out to young money and all the ppl in this vedio your doing it big

[PoppinFresh96]

@cplabra1992 Yeah, how dare he have an opinion that is completely justified. Everyone should see how stupid he is and comment on how his opinion is wrong and ours is completely 100% right with absolutely no backing arguments and terrible grammar. All he's done is practically made a career out of this and has gotten onto a popular website with hundreds of followers, what would he know? Obviously, random youtube commentators know everything about music.

[fieryshadowcard]

@cplabra1992 You know, I'm going to be the odd man out and try to understand things from your perspective. I could see how you could arrive to the conclusion in your comment... if bad music is all you know. A song made entirely of bad pick-up lines, bad cliches and either ancient-but-not-obscure-enough­-to-be-witty, not-as-ancient-but-not-obscure­-enough-to-be-witty or not-as-ancient-but-obscure-eno­ugh-yet-still-not-witty lines with a whiny auto-tuned singer does not make for a good song.

[ThePierrekirbyfanboy]

@swagshopz No he isn't. He's mediocre most of the time with a few isntances where he's awful(like in here) and a few isntances where he's good (His lastest colaboration with Eminem was quite solid). As for the second part of the comment, stop being a child. It only makes Lil Wayne look worst, the fact that his fans act like butthurt manchildren.

[mothman1997]

i hate most rap because its ALWAYS ABOUT THE SAME DAMN THING

1)sex

2)being rich

3)drugs

4)cars

also the word "niger' contantly being used gets very annoying

[tehRelinquished]

@mothman1997 correction, most "popular" rap is.

There are a lot of lesser known or flat-out unknown artists who creates hip-hop songs with unique beats, sounds with meaningful lyrics.

One decent song I can think of off the top of my head would be "Phantom" by Mr. Lif. Try looking that one up sometime.

[RockyBalboa211]

...I don't want to think of Fred Flinstone having sexual relations...I hate this song so much! :(

(CRYING, I haven't cried this much since seeing Mike Nelson dressed as Captain Janeway from MST3K)

[pueblos0revolucion]

Mmhmm flight of the conchords......

[Lalabeachbetty]

I've listened to too much metal in my lifetime, because I could've sworn he said, " I'm Gero Gero,"

[animelover8999]

This is one of my favorite songs, and for some reason I like listening to Todd diss my favorite songs.

[DabNitSat]

Oh todd, your humble days on youtube bring back memories...

[Ceasonal]

Its funny because Nicki Minaj is a lesbian...

[Tuuliska]

"the one girl on the track could probably get more girls"

Yeah, at least she could get me. o/ Idk why, but for some reason I find her really really cute. o_o Even despite that horrible make-up. I... I think I need to go find more of her stuff.

*checks comments* She's bi?! Damn! Now I really need to check her out.

[ThatWasFred]

I was already thinking how this review was just a few months away from Britney Spears and "Hold It Against Me," and then he used a line from a similar song at the end! I wonder what he thinks of that now...

[xPeppermintxPandax]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's "as bestest," not asbestos.. That being said, once again, someone has rhymed a word WITH THE SAME WORD. -.-'

[PugOfDoom]

AHM GUDDA GUDDA

[APPLESAUCE50]

NO! Don't kill yourself! Abandon pop and go for metal! \m/

[RWright2006]

These guys are a bunch of Yaba Daba Bitches!

[rabid2xtreme]

shout out to sam boeser. lol

[ccman1234567]

listen i understand u dont like the song but i swear to god if u make fun of the" rugrat" then i will find u come in ur house and shotgun ur face... or make u do a rereview

[PoppinFresh96]

@ccman1234567 Jesus! What's wrong with you!? She sounds like she sucked helium before she started recording this, it's not an opinion, it's the truth. Goddamn, threating to shoot a guy just for pointing out the obvious, calm the hell down!

[PugOfDoom]

@ccman1234567 HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE LIKE 9 YEARS OLD, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[3zazer1]

@ccman1234567 Shit guy! Calm the fuck down!! He probally will whip your ass anyway. The dude is like 6'5''.

[rabid2xtreme]

fucking lick my butthole todd. show ur fucking face

[PoppinFresh96]

@rabid2xtreme ....Why? Is there a reason you're insulting him other than the fact he won't show his face? You're saying that like he killed your dog. People on the internet these days.Sheesh!

[rabid2xtreme]

@PoppinFresh96

kid shut the fuck up, i was joking u fag hair.

[hypercamera3]

i wonder how many people laughed realizing that the rugrat became famous.

[vinylrepdah00d]

@hypercamera3 Minaj was already popular before this song with her mixtapes and guest spots on other songs, he was just poking fun at her voice in the song.

[hypercamera3]

@vinylrepdah00d shush! the government doesn't know that yet!

[thebigbib]

Three people rapped in that song, and disliked this.

[JannieJubille]

what is the song Todd played at the end? because that sounds strangely like that new brittney spears song...or maybe that's just me.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

The piano version in the beginning is waaaayyyy better than the actual song.

[AndersAndErSjov]

You got her grocery bag? What will you do with it then? Grocery bags aren't that interesting.

[DudemanofAwesome]

These are the single most awful lyrics I have ever heard. Baked apple.

[5196Tpffan]

@DudemanofAwesome There are WORSE lyrics.

[adakun13]

@DudemanofAwesome You forgot the random swear in the middle. Stapler.

[GarlicPudding]

Gudda-Gudda is Gullah-Gullah Island's evil twin.

[DrGnockerz]

Lil Wayne the most popular rapper today, exactly why rap is dead.

[Bob2IzIcon]

@DrGnockerz No, it's actually Eminem. Eminem is close to being the biggest star in the world, actually.

[DrGnockerz]

@Bob2IzIcon Eminem is decent but that still doesn't do much for the state of rap these days if he's on top.

[Bob2IzIcon]

@DrGnockerz Yeah, I do think that he's a sellout.

[DrGnockerz]

@Bob2IzIcon Yeah, he did a song with fucking Rihanna of all people. His older songs are way better.

[TheNotoriousMC2]

@DrGnockerz "Oh, he just did some shit with Missy, now he thinks he's too big to do some shit with MC-Get-Busy"

That's from one of his older songs. In other words, he's been doing songs with famous musicians forever.

[cod4me77]

@DrGnockerz all Rihanna did was sing the chorus, and she did it good, how does that ruin the song.

[jegsimmonsproduction]

@DrGnockerz when was it alive?

[DrGnockerz]

@jegsimmonsproduction It was doing quite well in the 90s when rap music was about guys singing about issues that are important to them and said rappers & song were creative.

[butchdeadlift10]

...........wait, I think these rappers are virgins (or at least never had anything more than a dry hump with a fat chick in a drunk coma). Its this one lyric you kinda glanced over

"My room is the G-spot....." , who makes a joke that clueless on a raunchy or seductive level. They are either elementary school dropouts or are retarded. No, I do mean something along the lines of terrets, down syndrome...and maybe a bit of harlequen-ictheousis for their faces. Their mothers drank bleach

[butchdeadlift10]

Women of the world; go on strike, don't let these rappers get laid.......don't even go infront of the camera with them.

[Izeluvtacos]

I got her - Grocery Bag

............

[MunkyDrag0n]

How dare they use Michael Jackson's name in vain! The guy died tragically after making himself known as the King of Pop and Weezy compares him to ho's!

Lloyd looks like a black Orlando Blume. He says the same bad pun again and again.

Nicki Manaj sounds like a high school delinquent who failed poetry slam (probably was). She looks like a black Barbee. Like asbestos she is toxic.

Drake, what the hell are you doing here?

If a girl would rather watch TV than f**k you, you're just not that good...

[butchdeadlift10]

May Lil Wayne never cover the Thundercats theme...I will kill him

[CapeMan344]

Whats the foreplay song? because that is HILARIOUS.

[TheShadrachs]

@CapeMan344 "Business Time" by Flight of the Conchords. All of their songs are hilarious

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

Lil Wayne continues to collaborate.

[freaknr1]

At 7:42, is that Urkle between those two girls?

[Taerdin]

GROCERY BAG!

[Cakehole21]

Hey nice Flight of the Concords reference.

[infiniteotaku25]

You know your lyrics are bad if even Todd can't say anything about them.

[Kodocha7]

what I am more concerned about is why the hell they have a phone booth in the house seriously thats just kinda weird

[sirtrino]

Ever notice how since "gudda gudda" ends in the letter "a" which almost everyone uses in place of "-er" that his name is really "gudder gudder" perfect description if you ask me.

[AillahKaiba]

Haha! "Flinstones, Transformers. . .Lil Wayne just hates my childhood memories."

"The one girl on the track could probally get more chicks than the guys." xD

[mainkilla]

@AillahKaiba Doubt it. There are some really dumb chicks in this world.

[0515flash]

Nigga why you hatin in the comfort of your own home while your in the shadows...man up and show yo face...stop bein a bitch, hatin ass nigga

[YoungAuthorAdam]

@0515flash And I suggest you keep in mind that Todd here gets paid for making these videos now. Thanks for your contribution, have a nice day, and please...don't let the door hit you on the way out. Also, please take some english lessons, based on your comment-you desperately need them.

[ChaosMaster7]

@0515flash awww, your soo adorable, thinking that you are gangsta :3. littlw gangsta boy wants his chikn

[TheSagesDog]

as for the whole "like a" thing, it is actually a common scheme in rap battling however it is used much more successfully by the average battle rapper, mainly because it is used for a clever punch line not just a throwaway bar in a crappy rap song. i am pretty sure however that lil wayne is not the originator of this nor is it big because of him.

[jordiotto1]

1 person in an actual shadow.

[dr12thfret]

the rugrats clip at 4:22 doubles as a red hot chili peppers reference. sort of

[Cazz814]

@ImperiusV Grocery bag

[Cazz814]

Always thought this song was horrible, then again I think every popular song is horrible.

[Curttehmurt]

now is his Gudda Gudda, cause the video seem to imply it was just Gudda, which would mean him saying Gudda Gudda would be mean that he was trying to rhyme his own name with itself

[MST3K1986]

It's funny that you brought up how Nikki Minaj (sp?) could get more girls then the guys here because it very likely true. Nikki is openly bisexual.

[TisbearA]

"She don't even wonder cause she know she bad/ And I got her --, Grocery bag."

Wonder Bread maybe? So Wonder-> Wonder Bread -> Grocery store -> Grocery bag?

Wait...Why am I trying to make sense of this?

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

Am I the only one who finds the name Gudda Gudda incredibly hilarious.

[Cazz814]

@xxPatheticEmoxx I do too reminds me of gouda cheese.

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

@Cazz814 You know you're career has failed when you hang out with a guy named gudda gudda and take pride in the name Weezy. I could go for some Gouda right now, you?

[brokenglass126]

augh!!! the way she says "asbestos" makes me want to punch her so hard it would destroy any possible brain cells she might have!

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

I just love how Drake is just sitting there reading the paper.

[darkemg]

Well, Todd, how dare you to criticize our bud Gudda-Gudda. His line is pretty simple:

"And I got her, nigga, grocery bag"

He got her, nigga, grocery bag, probably because her grocery bagg was too heavy for her to carry. Gudda-Gudda is not only the best of the bunch, he is also a true gentleman! A role model for our generation. SHAME ON YOU TODD!

What's next, Justin Bieber is not the manliest man since Reb Brown in Space Mutiny? They have the same castratti voice, you know.

[JakenJragin]

@darkemg XD Oh lol! Give me a cyber hug you funny man! Though Reb Brown was alot better (aka more GAR!!!) in Robowar i like to think. Care to wager?

[MrDoohickey95]

My big brother thinks that the line ''Call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make your bed rock'' is both clever AND funny. Kill me slowly, please.

[DrGnockerz]

@MrDoohickey95 Nah, I'll just kill your brother. :)

[CapyGuy]

If this "Lil' Wayne" individual is the most adored Rapper, it would seem to me that most rap fans are too stupid to actually understand a language.

[Saintnick90]

Don't forget the Beastie Boys referenced the Flintstones after Weird Al.

[ThePsychoticScyth396]

i was going to give rap a chance, turned the radio on, heard this song and said... "FUCK THIS SHIT!!!"

[MoralOrelEpisodes]

GROCERY BAG

[CymetricCymphony]

Okay so I checked urban dictionary, and, APPARENTLY, "Grocery Bag" is supposed to be a thug way of expressing the idiom "it'sin the bag" meaning that "it's easy" or "it's already done" example:

"U worried about the test tommorow?"

"Grocery Bag"

Worst. Slang term. Ever.

[xtatictimes4ever]

@CymetricCymphony At least it makes more sense in context, even when it does sound awkward.

[chris20855]

@CymetricCymphony What about chode? I mean chode isn't even a normal word or phrase.
