The rumor is that when Ice Cube left he had no intentions of dissing NWA. However he had no problem dissing Jerry Heller and high ranking officials of Ruthless Records. NWA felt Cube was being selfish and dissed him first on “100 Miles and Runnin”.

Cube then created this Kill at Will EP with this song put on to use a collection of beats he, allegedly, knew NWA would, allegedly, use on their upcoming projects he was no longer working on.

This caused NWA to attack Cube full scale on Efil4zaggiN

Interestingly this was released in 1991. In 1992 Ice Cube was known nationwide as “Doughboy” and had two critically acclaimed solo albums under his belt. Meanwhile Dr. Dre teamed up with Snoop Dogg and help founded Death Row Records.

So I take it Dre ate a lot of crow for this in hindsight.

If you haven’t picked up by now Jay used this verse to stake his claim as always running New York from Biggie’s death to present day of this album. Other artists and media personalities claimed Jay-Z fell off because of his pop-centric Vol. 1 album and what was an infamous sample of “Annie” for his “Hard Knock Life” song and his slightly disappointing Vol. 3 album(which he alludes to in previous line).

The masses had began to flock behind a particular artist from the Queensbridge projects when it came to who held down the streets and not the billboard charts.

Jay saying if he was always the King of NY after Biggie(like he did on City is Mine) then how could anyone say he ever fell off the top of throne of NY and therefore not running the east coast rap scene(with NYC being the epicenter of east coast music)?

A dig at the person who stated the line: “It’s One Life One Love So there can only be one king.” and ensued to claim he owned the throne over the passing years.

Parents in the hood trying to look out for their children. Try to push them to anything to keep them off the corners at night. Sports is normally the easiest choice. But I’m sure Snoops tone is of a sarcastic tone because he has already been corrupted by the deceit of the street life.

Eazy might want to check facts:

“So when I went solo, I was like I wanted Dr. Dre to do AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, but Jerry Heller vetoed that…and I’m pretty sure Eazy didn’t want Dre to do it. But Dre did want to do it; we gotta put that on record. Dre wanted to do my record, but it was just too crazy with the break-up of [N.W.A]. ”
Ice Cube, XXL, The Making of AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted

"Niggas in black" (N.W.A – Real Niggaz) | accepted

Ice Cube’s first solo album cover:

"Trying to be like us, sound like us, dress like us" (N.W.A – Real Niggaz) | pending

In a machismo state of mind, Eazy must neglect how much Cube wrote for the group. It’s only common that his albums have similar content to NWA’s albums.

"Paid in full" (N.W.A – Real Niggaz) | pending

no, Ice Cube left NWA because he felt he was owed many back royalties for writing credits(since he wrote most of the material on their first two LP releases, Eazy’s debut, and D.O.C.’s debut)

"Get off the dick you muthafucking carbon copy" (N.W.A – Real Niggaz) | accepted

Ice Cube made a song on Amerikkka’s Most Wanted called “Get off my Dick and Tell Ya Bitch to Come Here”.

Wasnt a diss at NWA, he did not diss them(only Jerry Heller) on his first album but NWA felt they needed to address him dissing how Ruthless was ran at the top. Dre flips the song title on him.

not they are calling him a female that performs fellatio.
Pussy — vagina
Protein — aside from water and salt, another source for male sperm
Pearl Tongue — euphemism for vagina, refers to pink color of labia that holds up the clitoris, which can look like a pearl in an oyster shell, resembling a pierced tongue which hey, is symbolism for performing fellatio

Bucket is a term for an average car. Better than a hooptie but not a lowrider or high quality car(European, latest model, Sports car, etc)

this verse notes how easy it is to get sucked into the lavish lifestyle of drug dealers. Normally the ignorant fall for this. The most ignorant drop out of school and disregard education and have shallow ambitions(make money regardless).

Nas does not support the “American Way”(go to college, get a good job, get a house with white picket fence, etc) however, he realizes(“Twenty Five to flat”) that being a career drug lord is going to lead to more pain than pleasure. Being a rebel in this sense wanting his cake and eating it too. He wants money now and later but doesnt want to sell drugs the rest of his life which in turn reverts back to his first verse of how he concocts a plan to hit it big once and then set up his “legal” businesses unlike his friends who deal with narcotics their entire life with no viable route to disassociate themselves from tribulations of the hood.

"Bitches blow me while hopping in the" (Nas – Street Dreams) | pending

no they perform fellatio while he’s in the convertible.

"Holding gats wasn't making me fat," (Nas – Street Dreams) | pending

ambiguous line nonetheless. Holding gats can also refer to just living as a local thug or peddler in the hood where you are better off carrying a weapon.

Also holstering weapons is known to make jackets bulge if they aren’t tailored/made extra big(than person actual size).
