Wait…what?
On today’s episode of What The Hell Did This Outspoken Celebrity Just Tweet, we find Chief Keef giving us a less-than-140-characters English lesson. To think that this may be his most hilarious tweet yet is rather momentous, considering in the past few months alone he’s threatened to cause Katy Perry bodily harm, and ranted against fellow Chicagoan Lupe Fiasco. However, with this tweet, we find Keef treating us to an ENGLIT101 crash course, in which he explains the literary method in which he writes his rhymes.
I dont Use punch lines And metaphors I use Antecedents ☺

Antecedents? Quick definition.
Antecedent: Grammar . a word, phrase, or clause, usually a substantive, that is replaced by a pronoun or other substitute later, or occasionally earlier, in the same or in another, usually subsequent, sentence. In Jane lost a glove and she can’t find it, Jane is the antecedent of she and glove is the antecedent of it.
(As per Dictionary.com).
We’re looking hard at Keef’s lyrics to find his expert uses of antecedents, but we haven’t found many. This one is half-decent though.
“Fredo got a hangover, he toting a Cobra” – Chief Keef
Fredo is the antecedent of he, in this case, for those of you that didn’t follow.
Tweet us any instances you find of Chief Keef using antecedents, this’ll be fun.
