Bailey’s Irish Cream is a mix of Irish vodka and a cream liqueur.

This is simply an embellished callback to the “drunk every day” line.

Akinyele was a rapper who was last active in the 90s and early Oughts. He was known best or his sexually explicit lyrics, most notably in the song “Put It In Your Mouth”.

More simply, Big Chief is a super-villian, but has the testicular fortitude to not feel the need to pull punches by hiding behind any sort of front.

Khan’s music that gets posted over at DJBooth.Net very, very, very rarely gets a negative review.

And for that matter, I don’t think I’ve ever downloaded something from DJ Booth that I didn’t end up loving.

The IV Edition is Braille’s fourth studio album.

Khan’s fed up with how superficial and uninspired most rap lyrics are nowadays.

This line is Khan’s way of mocking the mentality of advertisers and PR execs at major record labels.

Khan’s of Jewish heritage, and so putting him on stage in this:

would be about as stereotypical as it gets.

Fiddler On The Roof is a Broadway show that was adapted into a film, which was itself based on a fictionalized memoir called Tevye and his Daughters. The story follows Tevye, who struggles to stay true to his Jewish roots while Grand Duke Ivan IV’s annexing of Russia starts to affect his everyday life.)

This is one of my favorite Khan lines, because of on how many different levels it works.

The House of Medici was a royal house and banking company in late-14th century Italy. One of the things that house Medici’s members were known for is being patrons of the fine arts, mostly after Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici.

Also serves as a callback to the assembly line bar, as the Bank of Medici was founded on profits from manufacturing.

Most likely a shot at the less discriminating fans. Y'know, the ones that don’t know the difference between Ice Cube and Vanilla Ice?

A really clever double entendre.

Manuel is a variation of Emmanuel or Immanuel, a Hebrew name meaning “God Is With Us” which in this context is most likely a reference to Khan’s Jewish heritage.

Khan is from just outside of LA originally and given California’s relatively high concentration of Hispanic people it’s probably a safe bet he had a friend named Manuel. This interpretation plays into the next line.
