Reprezen'!

Edit: Added 'z' and ''' for flavor.

 

[Rip the Jacker]

52 "states" = 50 states + Puerto Rico & Iraq

?

 

[Linflas]

Ignorance?

 

[Epic Fail]

They follow the news, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Actually, most rappers' main goal is to educate the children. So they say 52 states to try and get the kids to think about DC and PR as states. Those guys are so kind and really care about people in general.

 

[Shawn]

example?

 

[acemcmac]

would you mind linking some of the lyrics in question?

Heheh....that's a good one

 

[QED]

I know a few people who thought there are 52 states-- the 50 states in the Continental US, plus Hawaii and Alaska. When I tell them there are only 48 states in the Continental US they look at me like I'm the one that's crazy.

I'm guessing they are referring to the number of letters in the English alphabet, if majuscules are distinguished from minuscules.

 

[Lazy8s]

confusion maybe?

50 States + East Coast + West Coat = 52?

 

[Sqube]

Haven't heard that before.

Where's the linkage?

 

[AMDZen]

There isn't much in any rap song I hear that I understand anymore. I certainly don't understand this

 

[Mo0o]

Link to song?

 

[EatSpam]

If they're John "Amnesty" McCain fans, they're probably thinking of Mexico.
