Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Mother Nature wasn’t too kind the past few days, and many of us found out what happens when you toss boiling water into a polar vortex (hint: it turns to vapor). But if you want something other than the weather to talk about, here are the lines of the week:

5.  “The sugar in my Kool-Aid boo gets me through days, Swear to God, one day I might watch her throw a bouquet” — Vampire Weekend ft. Danny Brown, Despot and Heems, ‘Step remix‘

As we know, Kool-Aid is basically just water, until you add the sugar. Danny Brown is describing the girl that makes his days sweeter, and ultimately the one he wants to marry (awww!)

4. “These scandalous females roll like V12’s, not watching speed, And couldn’t care about deep feelings unless your pockets feeling deep” — Dessy Hinds, ‘Mo’Wetter Blues‘

Dessy isn’t interested in girls that are like the horses powering a V12 engine. Similar to a car running if there’s gas in the tank, these females are only interested if there’s money in your pockets.

3. “Short shorts and high socks, I feel like chalk without a sidewalk” — Mac Miller, ‘Erica’s House‘

Mac Miller is one of the most successful independent artists of all time, but reveals the occasional struggle of finding a canvas for all of his creative thoughts.

2. “They say they’re sour cause they’re riding in the limit, Head’s to the sky it ain’t a limit” — Kid Ink ft. Pusha T, ‘Murda‘

Notorious B.I.G. created a song titled Sky’s the Limit, off his famous Life after Death album. Ink pays homage and uses the same mantra – you can do anything if you set your mind to it!

1. “Collisions of cliques named after rap groups, except wearing Jordan’s instead of black boots” — Common, ‘WAR’ 

With terrible violence plaguing much of Chicago, Common paints these hip-hop inspired gang members as unwilling soldiers in a war for survival – despite their different choice in footwear.
