with all due respect, 'goin' hard in the paint' is almost certainly a basketball reference.

Oh there you go. I was just assuming it had to do with paint, never watched basketball.

[mudd]

yeah the phrase definitely originated as basketball announcer's jargon, but joda seems to be correct in how it's been adopted into rap lyrics. weird.

Mr. Muthafuckin' exQuire - Lost in Translation

Just out this past weekend, DL and stream link below. A couple great videos on youtube (too lazy to try to embed those). Excellent and very necessary for fans of Wu Tang, MF DOOM, Slick Rick. Been on repeat the past few days. Uses El-P beats, including a couple from the Can Ox album. I mean, jeez.. just look at the narrative on that cover..

Really enjoying this too.. very based.

[dave quam]

yea, goin hard in the paint just means...goin hard.

oh man this urban dictionary sentence is so great:

"When we saw Dason had put on his best suit and matching Tag Heuer timepiece, we knew he going hard in the paint to his job interview that afternoon."

[steve]

crazy, I never knew about the bball reference, but it makes sense.
Ali & Gipp did a Hard N Da Paint track in 2006 which is certainly about their cars (and jewels/clothes..), but I swear I've heard somebody rap about wearing the paint off their gun's trigger from overuse, which I always assumed was Flocka's subtext.

[bryan]

Yeah, Waka has a thing for basketball references. Maybe he's not quite in the paint here (more like half court) but he is going hard, indeed...

[Joda]

For those who love Ro, Meth dropped today. Haven't heard it yet, but this leaked track is convincing enough for me.

Lots of funny lines and this guy can spit, too. I grabbed the mixtape this is off and nothing is as immediately grasping as this song, but it still puts his rhyming chops on display.
