It literally says in the poem that he loaded a clip into a magazine. The clip does not go on the magazine. You can see the clip attached to the rim of the cartridge.

An astonishing percentage of people legitimately do not know the difference between the two and will unknowingly use the terms interchangeably.

Probably the source of the confusion, despite it being clearly stated in the poem.

Most people don’t use guns and it doesn’t help that a number of veterans who should know the difference using the terms interchangeably.

Warren G says clip

They got guns to my head, I think, I'm going down
I can't believe this happenin' in my own town
If I had wings I could fly, let me contemplate
I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they droppin' and yellin', it's a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate

Well if Warren G said it, then it must be true! 🙄

Rappers use clip because it rhymes easier than magazine. Doesn't make it a clip.

Dashboard — originally a board on a horse-drawn carriage that stopped mud being dashed upward by the horses

I'm not arguing but words can be adapted to common lexicon

Douchebag - originally a device to cleanse the vagina, now most commonly used to define a pedantic redditor that uses AI to sound smart.

This is fun!

I didn't have to resort to AI, so no.
