Rap Genius Lines of the Week From Big K.R.I.T., Saigon and Snoop Dogg

Rap Genius is supplying The BoomBox with the top lyrics of the week and serving a meaning behind the raps in the process. This past week was a busy one on the political scene. Serious threats of yet another war in the Middle East, official justifications of spying -- by the NYPD -- and execution of U.S. citizens -- by the Attorney General -- and some kind of election or something this past Tuesday (March 6) all contributed to a climate of tension that two of our top five lines of the week reacted to. As for the rest: Homeboy Sandman plays art critic, Saigon gets vicious with your family and Snoop Dogg tells us about soul brother No. 1.

5. "I see hard rocks, so afraid to play low-key/ All they art screams p---- like Georgia O'Keeffe's," -- Homeboy Sandman, 'Toca Tuesdays Freestyle' Lyrics

Our first line this week is a clever, if crude, pun by hardworking NYC rapper Homeboy Sandman. Georgia O'Keeffe's large-scale paintings of enlarged flower blossoms are generally considered to, as Wikipedia gently puts it, "evoke a veiled representation of female genitalia." Sandman plays on that interpretation here to accuse other rappers of being soft.
