How does moonshine age? I wouldn't know because I don't live in the ghetto I guess.
It's a punchline. You wouldn't know because punchlines don't exist outside of rap and comedy, as far as I know. I referenced the common saying of something aging well 'like a fine wine' and contrasted it with another form of alcohol that is far removed from fine wine... moonshine, which beyond its low-class attributes, is so strong that it can make you choke a bit and heavy drinking of moonshine can lead to blindness. Likewise, while some people age well (like wine), others age into something that will leave you, at least metaphorically, choking (probably on your vomit) and going blind with disgust (or at least, covering your eyes and looking away).
Get it? I'm using an extended metaphor and analogy for comedic effect.

As far as I can tell you said that others age like moonshine. Which is why I want to know how moonshine ages. Is it worse if it's older moonshine or something?
It's not exactly a "punch line" if it isn't funny.

Do you analyze the grammar of stand-up comics? If I had to clarify that others don't age like moonshine but are like moonshine, it would ruin the entire bar and the punchline. Some things are implicitly understood by someone who is not a ****** and there's no need to clarify, in a manner that would detract from the work, for the outsiders.

Rap punch-lines don't have to be funny. They just have to be clever, use a metaphor, an analogy, a pun, or just make an appealing reference.
I'm not having this discussion with you. You have no requisite knowledge to understand any of this, since you don't even listen to rap, let alone battle raps, and you will be stubborn in your ignorance regardless.
I'd like to think mine was mildly humorous though. The point of that song was to be comedic.

No, stand-up comics don't make a pretense of writing poetry.

The most comedic part was the funny accent
Also, I love how you're getting snobby about your ghetto music

Do you analyze poetry in such a manner? Jesus. Even classical poets will fail your grammatical razor.
I guess if you came across this:
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, 15
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
You'd be all like, what is so soft, so calm, yet eloquent that is on the cheek and over that brow? How can it be eloquent? Why is eloquent prefaced with 'yet' as if contrasted with soft and calm? But tell of days in goodness spent? What tells of days in goodness spent? The smiles that win? But that's not a proper sentence! ZOMFG!

Why wouldn't I think about that? How are you supposed to understand a sentence if you ignore grammar and just look at it as a random assortment of words?

There are implied words in poetry that if they were there would make lines of poetry into full sentences but would destroy the rhythm of the verse. These implied words are (usually) obvious to all but the most daft. And at least a little ambiguity, especially when accompanied by poetic devices, is what makes poetry poetry and not just sentences on the page or words spoken conversationally.
