#talentless uggos don't get groupies ykwim?

[sage-nebula]

I always see this brought up as if it's a sick diss, but it's really not. And it's not because:

It's factually wrong, something Frye would know if she knew anything about her opponents beforehand. A member of the band by definition can't be a groupie. Frye's clowning on herself.

Pearl & Marina both demonstrate how she's wrong in the next beat.

It's not even a diss to Pearl. It's a diss to Marina and a COMPLIMENT to Pearl. Frye is saying that Marina is a.) not part of the band, b.) just following Pearl to get in her panties, and c.) Pearl is therefore hot enough to have someone following her to want to get in her panties. It completely fails in Frye's objective of beating Pearl in the rap battle because she's targeting someone she wasn't battling and, in so doing, compliments the one she WAS battling. (And perhaps lowkey disses herself, because if Frye herself doesn't have a groupie, what does that say about how hot she is?)

I think people got distracted by how not-Nintendo-friendly Frye using the word "groupie/grouper" was and forgot to look at the broader context of the rap battle / what Frye was actually saying. Frye was dissing Marina, whom she wasn't battling, and in turn complimenting Pearl by saying Pearl is so hot that Marina — a smokin' hottie herself — is only there to get in Pearl's panties.

(Of course, Pearl wasn't going to let Marina be dissed like that even if it was a compliment to her, hence the "as if!" and demonstration of Marina's voice so fine, but nonetheless.)

I love Frye, but this was not a winning bar. Girl lit herself on fire here. It was a good demonstration of why you shouldn't pick a rap battle with MC Princess.
