		<description>this is an exceptionally retarded article &amp; naturally unnecessarily condescending. noz is right of course but he didn&#039;t even touch on the most obvious reference. &quot;extra lamb like a gyro&quot; is referring the make of car known as a &quot;lamborghini&quot; but i&#039;m sure yall were too busy trading copies of the kid cudi album to realize that that one was staring you right in the face.</description>

		<description>I clearly do not listen to enough rap, nor have enough violence in my life, to appreciate Gucci Mane lyrics.</description>

		<description>I was about to write essentially what Andrew did; I agree with basically everything he said so there&#039;s no need to repeat it.

However, I think that &quot;wrap em like an egg roll&quot; likely refers to either wrapping a body before dumping it into a body of water OR killing someone, and thus having them wrapped in a black body bag.

About the fully fully auto, it does in fact refer to a weapon that continue to eject rounds until the ammunition is exhausted. The &quot;Shawty bout that good plate&quot;, not only in keeping with well-established culinary metaphor (wordplay!) could also refer to the plate of a firearm which is (I believe) part of the mechanism that allows the cartridge to drop out (making it automatic). Don&#039;t quote me on that last part though. Or do, whatever.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think there&#039;s a single sexual allusion in that verse. He&#039;s rapping about killing people and counting money.

Egg roll/gyro is money rolls talk.

It&#039;s not &quot;beat up out the taco&quot; but &quot;meat up out the taco,&quot; which is a fairly common euphemism  for beating someone until their brain spills out of their skull.

Feed &#039;em to the octos / sleepin with the sting rays is sleep with the fishes stuff.

&quot;Shawty like that good plate&quot; = women enjoy the diverse culinary platter I offer - I beat the shit out of people and have money.</description>

		<description>Bravo, TD. Truly inspired. Just to be clear: Could this mean that if Gucci Mane&#039;s girl cheats on him, she just has to bite on his scrotum a little bit and she&#039;s out of the doghouse?</description>

		<description>This is about fucking, and only peripherally about fucking people up.

I agree with Riggs that the extra lamb in line 1 is an extension of more common &quot;meat&quot; euphemisms, though it also has secondary link to lambskin and lanolin, the preferred condom material and lubricative product of sketchballs everywhere.

&quot;wrapping it up like an eggroll&quot; is about making sure to use a prophylactic, furthering the lamb reference (which after all, was presumably inside the pita?).

Ted&#039;s reading of &quot;meat up out the taco&quot; is probably better than &quot;beat up out the taco,&quot; but really, both are equally suggestive of pounding the pussy.

I am forced to conclude from the octo line that Gucci Mane has eight dicks.  Alternatively, he could be referring to the dicks of an 8-member posse?  A more realistic reading would be a reference to Brian Fantana&#039;s named phallic from the movie Anchorman: it&#039;s called the octogon.  It also enmeshes his ongoing food metaphor with a more common metaphor of lust as an appetite.

I&#039;m at a loss on &quot;fully fully auto.&quot;  Does he fuck on autopilot?  Does he automatically resort to fucking?  I lean towards the former.

I&#039;m with Riggs on the &quot;good plate:&quot; the girl obviously loves to eat cock.

I&#039;m partial to your reading on the stingray line.  Other possibilities courtesy of urbandictionary: &quot;stingray - The act of pinching (or biting) a man&#039;s scrotum during intercourse,&quot; and &quot;Stingray - Being blammed or repremanded for something that a member of your social group has done. 
Being stereotyped for the transgressions of your culture, generation, gender etc. and being punished for it.&quot;

Somewhat less plausible: &quot;stingray - During sex, you hit the back of the girl&#039;s head, flip her over, stab her eyes with a knife, ejaculate on her face, then fuck her dead body.&quot;</description>
