Re: Terrible Double Negative On '25 To Life'

C'mon man, it's like when you say "i ain't got nothin", "I don't want nothin'" etc etc..... although they're double negatives the understood translation is "I have got nothing", "I don't want anything". It's pretty obvious that line follows the same kinda pattern.

We all know the language in rap often are incorrect, but we're still able to understand it.
As people said, that's just a way of speaking. Shit, I can't speak proper english when it comes to this kinda shit, but I can still make myself understood.

When I write songs, and they're not correct, but you're still able to understand it, and some shit rhymes better when you put it that way, I'm doing it. No doubt.

My 2 cents.

Yes, I still think there is nothing terrible or even bad about this. It is just English. Not academically correct English, but English the way it is used.
