This line is most likely referring to Kid Cudi’s drinking antics. Between his MOTM albums, Cudi was known to get very very drunk in a lot of places. He would often drink so much, he would “black out”.

So just like Cudi’s black outs, STS’s flow blacks out. Meaning that it is as intense as blacking out, possibly as addictive as liquor too.

Fuck you.

You think you’re better than RG people because he used the word finna? Yeah, finna is a pretty unprofessional thing to write. I guess you are a much better person and writer.

Then again, you put “shaking head” in an article like you’re a 13 year old on AIM.

As we all know, when one person associated with a website poses a question (which doesn’t have an apparent answer, as evidenced by its frequent asking), that means everyone from said website is a white person wishing they could say the N-word. All the time. (Clearly)

Which reminds me, I found this article on Gawker. The writer posits that fat people should be declared terrorists. Since that author and Jordan Sargent contribute to the same website, they must agree on labeling the obese “terrorists.”

Does it seem unfair that I may have taken her quote out of context and lumped everyone from that website in with her?

Jordan Sargent does it, and I can, too.

Yeah it’s a problem brought on and only appreciated by “a young, white-learning user base that desperately wishes to do things like say the N word”. Clearly only uppity white kids who aren’t rappers find this site to be a good thing.

Oh wait, so does Kendrick Lamar, check it here

Socrates is standing behind his claim of being less than grand at public speaking and refusing to pepper his arguments with tantalizing filler. He will, for lack of a better term, present his arguments “off the dome” in that he will speak directly form his heart and speak what he believes to be the truth.

In this he is implying that eloquence holds both meanings (skills of speech and truthfulness). He says that they both speak with eloquence, each with a different definition though. All his words are truthful, but don’t present themselves as powerful or strong. On the other hand, they speak with the other form of eloquence. They never speak the truth, but their lies are delivered with excellent composure and beauty of tongue.

He expects their lies about him and accepts them for what they are; however, the one that surprised him was when they told people to be wary of his eloquence, implying a strength of his oratory skills. He knew he could prove them wrong on this point simply by speaking (he does not have an excellent way with words). Then he realizes they may mean eloquence in the form of honesty. With eloquence adopting the definition of honesty, he admits he is eloquent, admitting that he speaks the truth.

In fact, speeches in ancient Greek law courts always began with an apology by the speaker that he is inexperienced and ineloquent, so Socrates is already standing custom on its head, by taking the traditional admission of weakness and turning it into a strength.
