Perhaps a happy accident or a purposeful double entendre, but I hear an R every time I play it back

It’s clearly “hat broke”
That’s the way I heard it

I cant hear this line properly now, youve made me even more confused, thanks

Great thread. Was bugging me whole time I was like "that makes no sense!" lol

This is the most loved line in the album and people misinterpret it . That’s why u never officially confirm lyrics . Interpretation is everything

“with his hat broke way off” - Drive Slow

“Projects tore up, gang signs is thrown up. Niggas hats broke off, that's how we grow up”

Kanye West - We Major

after reading this thread I only hear "hat broke" now

I still cant. I tried.
