Beyonce stunned us all with a visual album, which was the drop heard around the world. This week we also hear a single from Mac Miller’s new project, as well as Drake’s first verse in months. Thinking back, nothing really has been the same since his last album. Here are the lines of the week:

5. “And everything will be cooler maneuver away from evildoers, Gene Hackman is captain no one can beat the Hoosiers” — Mac Miller, ‘Eggs Aisle’ lyrics

Gene Hackman plays the coach in the sports movie, Hoosiers, and had one of the best half time speeches of all time. “I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we’re gonna be winners!” [start slow clap]

4. “That’s what they be yelling I’m a pimp by blood, not relation, I don’t chase ’em, I replace ’em, haaan” — Chris Brown ft. French Montana & Lil Wayne, ‘Loyal’ lyrics

French is borrowing the famous Biggie  line from the Life After Death album. He’s not one to chase women, because he can always one-up and replace them with someone better.

3. “He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse, He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown” — Beyonce, ‘Partition’ lyrics

It’s foxy Cleopatra and she’s a whole lotta woman! Queen Bey is reminding us of the Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky scandal that almost got the President impeached. Oh, behave.

2. “Yeah, I just think it’s funny how they dangling the bait, But I’m the one that’s killing n***** on the hooks though” — Future ft. Drake and Juicy J, ‘S*** remix’ lyrics

Drake is responding to the disses (Kendrick’s “Control” verse, anyone?), and those trying to entice Drizzy to mention them in a song. He’s not taking the bait, and just letting his rhymes do the talking.

1. “Smoking papers ya’ll smoking backwoods, Hustle smart while ya’ll hustle backwards” — Wiz Khalifa, ‘Got Me Some’ lyrics

Wiz’s third studio album was titled “Rolling Papers.” He’s saying that his competition’s hustle game is functionally dyslexic! Close…but no cigar.
