Definition of Perimeter Shot: “A perimeter shot, also known as a mid-range shot, is a jump shot or general field goal attempt that an offensive player can take inside of the three-point line but outside of the key.”
That definition is bunk. Why would it be called a mid-range shot if it was on the perimeter? Do you know what the word perimeter means? By any logic mid-range could not be perimeter unless there is also something defined beyond the perimeter, but then the perimeter would not be the perimeter.

I thought “Deebo on perimeter”, meant that corner boys selling crack. On Friday the movie, Smokey and Co would be sacred when Deebo is around the corner.
The basketball reference made sense. People gotta realize this song came out in 2013 and basketball was different back then, it was before everyone shot 10 3s a game so deep mid range shots were not only more common but commonly referred to as shots from the perimeter. And even if that explanation doesn’t satisfy you, Demar was a great perimeter defender. So demars defense or shooting was “tough” and refers back to the ice cube line.
Kendrick Lamar won a 2018 Pullitzer prize for his album 'DAMN'. That same prize is the most prestigious award one can receive in literature, journalism, music, etc. Yet mfs still say "Kendrick is overrated. You're reading too deep into his lyrics." That's one way to let ppl know that you got a 0.002 second attention span and half a brain cell left.
@@_icy4342 "In this line, Kendrick is referencing his 2017 album "DAMN." within his first line. Kendrick is also alluding to the fact that throughout his career, he's often looked up to as a lyrical genius."

@@livingrentfree9596 you were clearly implying that Drake is as gifted lyrically as Kendrick. You wanna say he's good that's one thing but obviously the point he was trying to make was that Drake was trying to compete with someone way out of his league. Drake can be good at what he does, that doesn't change the fact that some people (like Kendrick) are significantly better.
@@Zack-vi7is That's not what I said or implied at all. The original comment tried to imply Drake was way out of Kendricks league because of this (you might think that too, idc). I replied back with "Like Drake doesn't have triple entendres" because he does, he's a very underrated lyrical rapper and people don't notice it because his pop and dance records are more popular. Then you came along, saying that this verse by Kendrick is more complex than any Drake verse, which is true. However it is a completely stupid thing to say considering I never said Drake did have a verse like this, or that Drake is as gifted as Kendrick when it comes to complexity or lyrical ability, just that he is a good lyricist himself. Sorry for the two paragraphs, just had to clarify.
A lot of it’s a reach. Nobody calls the hard white stuff that forms when you rock up the crack “deebo on the perimeter”. Also the basketball player shooting from mid range is not the perimeter either. Unless he’s shooting a ton of 3’s that’s a reach. This is just a double entendre wordplay about ice cube and then MAYBE deebo meaning the basketball player but it’s a reach. Not saying it’s a reach from Kendrick, it’s a cool line. But it’s a reach for the video to say it’s a triple entendre when it’s not. Just a Friday wordplay
“The perimeter is defined as the areas outside the free throw lane and inside the three-point line. Shots converted (successfully made) from this area are called "perimeter shots" or "outside shots" as called during older NBA games. If a player's foot is on the three-point line, the shot is considered a perimeter shot.”
Yeah the DeRozan connection is a reach but this verse was better than all your faves tracks in their career. And Push went crazy as well, sometimes I can't decide who was better.
@@DragonBallFanZGT how you gonna have a Kobe profile pic and say that the perimeter is midrange? Nobody has ever used that term to refer to midrange shots
I always thought he was talking about selling crack as metaphor for making music. Didn’t he say something about that at the end? “You can rock it up or sell it soft” rock music and/or hard music, selling soft is r&b. Throw some ice cube in it, aka make it gangsta.
Yes. The whole verse was a metaphor for how his music is the "dope" that he's selling. That's why he says "go figure mf every verse is a brick, yo son dope n**ga" and "I was born in 87, my granddaddy a legend, now the same shit that y'all was smoking is my profession". He was telling a story about his his father was a drug dealer and he was teaching him how he was going to make more money by selling "dope" music instead.
Some of y’all are too young to realize how much basketball has changed in the last 10 years. This song came out in 2013, right before curry really changed the way 3 point shots were taken. Back then every star was taking deep midranges on the perimeter just like Deebo, not to mention he’s also a great PERIMETER defender.
might be a stretch but derozan is also known for defense so it could be that he’s defending hard on the perimeter just like how the build up is hard on the glass, might be a stretch but it works either way
Ice cube also ties to the beginning of the verse where he says "You wanna see a dead body" that's boys in tha hood just like pusha talking about throwing punches in his room and Doughboy to tre if he rides
It's crazy that Deebo on perimeter could also be applied to Deebo Samuel running down the perimeter of the field (I know he wasn't in the NFL when this was written, still tho lol)
As a non-American i appreciate this, because nobody outside the states has a fuckin clue who basketball players are if they arent MJ, Shaq, Kobe or Lebron
Well the perimeter is a 3, i thought anout deebo samuel, a wide reciever playing on the perimeter, or outside of the numbers, meaning kenny wasnt a statistic. But i domt know if he even knows deebo samuel
So the mid-range is NOT the perimeter in basketball terms. However, Derozan does play as a wing (mostly), which usually begin their actions from the perimeter.
