Lil Wayne's Carter III opens with the following lines: "Yessir! They can't stop me. Even if they stopped me. Hahahah. Yeah. I'm on it / Ooh I'm on it / I'm so on it / And however you want it" Then proceeds to give us a baller anthem followed up with Mr Carter and Dr Carter right after. Also... quote:So. ...begins the greatest translation of Beowulf ever created. |

SweetWillyRollbar posted:but that was kind of on purpose I mean, I honestly think it's a consciously used rhetorical device. Like starting an epic story with "I mean" while the room is still loud; gathering attention without promising too much. Or even a gloating done *after* setting the benchmark; having finished a Man Booker-winning novel you go back and write a prologue while half asleep and incorporate an idea your 7 year old suggested at the breakfast table. |

Prof. Crocodile posted:this is a spectacular idea for a thread and you started off with two great examples... LOL I knew there was a joke in here (whether intentional or not). It just didn't hit me until now that it would have been more clever to make the first post a mediocre album that puts its only decent single up front.

Yes! This is a perfect example! PHIZ KALIFA posted:the first movement of beethovens ninth? utter poo poo. trash. i would have stabbed spears into my ears rather than ever continue writing the rest of it, so im glad beethoven was just normal guy deaf. I was going to write Hmmmm I guess but I meant more like on purpose bland strokes before a masterpiece rather than just being less good than what follows. But I listened to it again and instead write Yes! This is a perfect example! |
