Criminal subliminal minded rappers find it
Hard to define it, when narrow is the gate

from GZA (Ft. Method Man & RZA) – Living in the World Today Lyrics on Rap Genius

A double entendre in the first line: Rappers who just look on the surface (simple minded because they can’t recognize subliminal messages) don’t understand his violent metaphors (too bad they don’t have RapGenius), but rappers who look for subliminal messages (and are as hardcore or criminal as he is) understand his metaphors. In the next line he’s saying it’s hard to decribe what people are thinking when they try to put crappy albums into through the narrow gate into the realm of greatness
