Digressting

An interesting, engaging way of deviating or wandering away from the main topic or purpose when debating; departing from the principal line of argument, plot, study, etc. in order to confuse the opponent and utilise the confusion by declaring victory after the opponent confesses they do not follow. When an argument in itself is a digression and possibly nonfactual or entirely false, yet holds the attention or curiosity of the observer.

At the end of his classic track "6th Sense" on the album Like Water For Chocolate, Common is approached by a female fan who thanks him "because your lyrics are so positive for the women out here." Then he is approached by a whore who complains that it's raining and her skirt is too short and the police are coming, and he hits her and says "I don't care if it's snowing, I want you out there hoeing."
Just before the track cuts out, the first woman says "oh my goodness, how you gonna disretrospect me like that?"
