And everybody coming at me from the blindside

from The Roots – The Day Lyrics on Rap Genius

The blindside is a football term—it’s the side of pass rush the quarterback can’t see (for right-handed qb’s, it’s the left side and vice versa)

The Blindside was, somehow, an Oscar nominee last year. This is perhaps the closest we will get to a Sandra Bullock reference in hip hop

*edit: not even the closest we’ll get in a song by The Roots
