I ain't know Oprah then

from Rick Ross (Ft. Dr. Dre & Jay-Z) – 3 Kings Lyrics on Rap Genius

Meaning

Double entendre!

  1. He wasn’t friends with Oprah then
  2. He was not at the status he is now back then “I ain’t no Oprah then”. Oprah is an iconic black figure, just like Jay is now.

In 2009, Oprah interviewed Jay-Z.

Jigga namedropped Oprah on “Murder To Excellence,” as well. He uses her as an example of the excellence that African-Americans should and must aspire to.

Now please, domino, domino
Only spot a few blacks the higher I go
What’s up to Will? Shout out to O
That ain’t enough.. we gonna need a million more
