With Hawaiian Sophie fame,

from Nas – Ether Lyrics on Rap Genius

Jay-Z first came into the rap game as a protege of Jaz-O. They collaborated on a somewhat embarrassing song called “Hawaiian Sophie” — Jay is all over the video, but gets only a few lines in the song.

The phrase “Hawaii Sophie fame” is a direct quote paying homage to 2Pac’s line in “Bomb First (My Second Reply)”
