    Example, not kidding

    First time I heard Black Widow on the radio, not knowing the title I heard Rita Ora sing 'like a black little baby' :kanye3:

    For the longest time I thought Amine said on "Caroline,"

    "lets get coffee, like a Tarantino movie"

    Which, I mean, kind of makes sense, especially with the lyrics that follow:

    Don't wanna talk it out, can we f--- it out?
    Cause we gon' be up all night, f--- a decaf
    You say I'm a tall thug, guess I'm a G-raffe

    Kanye - POWER

    I thought he said:
    "As I look down on my dying men they crushed to pieces"

    What he actually said:
    "As I look down at my di-a-mond encrusted piece"

    If you didnt think those were the words you didn't have a childhood.

    Why would she make, calls out the blue
    Now I'm awake sleepless in June

    Or is it

    Now I'm awake still missing you

    Or is it

    Now I'm awake sleep isn't new

    I forgot which song it was, but on my first listen I thought Young Thug said "dicky soup" or something similar.

    Young Thug - Wyclef Jean
    the line where he says
    "my money way longer than a nascar race"

    I originally thought he was saying
    "ma mumma may monger man a mama mase"
    and it was just auto tuned mumble.

    Then it happened with a Future song How it Was
    when he says
    "he look like he used to sell drugs, that's exactly how it was. take some sprite and take some codeine then just po' me up a cup"

    I thought he was actually saying some
    "heloolieheyootooselldrudasesatlyhowitwuh taysum spri and tay sum cody n just powme upacup"
    robot garbage.

    The reason i am now able to understand them is, well...

    I thought something was up when my friends said they could understand these artists and I couldn't. So I got in my car and started playing MMLP2 on the way to the doctors for a hearing check up.
    He checked my ears, no abnormalities. we were stumped, so he did a general check up. lungs, heavy smoke inhalation but fine otherwise. Heartbeat, good. BMI, fine. weight, fine. blood pressure, fine. Everything seemed ok. The Doctor was again stumped, so he sent me to the hospital for a more thorough examination. And they took a quick look at me, i told them the problem and they insisted on giving me a cat scan just to make sure everything was fine. So after coming out they directed me to a waiting room and said the scans and a doctor would be with me shortly. i sat there for about 3 mins before a doctor burst through the door in a panic
    Confused, I asked him
    "Did you figure out why Future and Young Thug sound like autotuned mumbling to me?"

    he replied and said
    "There is almost 0 brain activity in your head and it's a surprise you're even alive, let alone not a complete vegetable. You're going to need a brain transplant right away"

    since then i can understand Future and Young Thug no worries. for some reason MMLP2 sounds like s--- now though.

    When I was in 7th grade I thought J-Kwon said "Teen drinking is very bad...yo I got a vague idea though" at the beginning of Tipsy.
