Could be a hint at the fact that the song is titled “20 Wave Caps”. Do-rags and wavecaps have the same use: to press down on one’s hair in order to create a wave pattern.

Johnny Carson hosted a late night show called “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” running from 1962-1992. The show was “shot” late at night.

Earl describes criminals who wait until after sunset to strike.

Play on words with city/state.

His state of mind in LA is different than it would be anywhere else.

Reference to Master P. He had a grimy style back in the day.

Nell committed a drive-by in one of these:

“Fours” are rims.

The weed got Nell tweaking, ready to kill a nigga.

Bronson got the guns — wrap up the opposition in a body bag.

Also play on words with present/wrapped.

Wrap and rap are homophones, as well. Lyrical ingenuity at it’s finest from the big-bearded fellow.

Joey dreams of living the lavish life, flying in private jets, eating only the finest cuisine. Play on words with season/seasoning which flows with ‘cuisine’

He continues his food theme with “cuisine” (“beans” “cake” “cream” “steak”)

Joey reprimands the host of fake rappers flooding the airwaves of your local radio.

Wordplay likening the situation to the shooting of a movie with “acting”/“actions”/“scene”

When on the scene (on the spot) he doesn’t act, but his actions (lyrics) are so amazing and dramatic that it seems scripted. In reality it’s just well schemed (planned) in his head. People are probably screaming they’re scared of him and his actions.

Soul told himself when he was younger that he would never sell drugs, and he’s still managed to make a killing in the rap game.

But Soulo takes drugs (blue dolphin pill), and hopes that it will get him rolling. Also a play on words as “flip[ing]” is a “trick” performed by “dolphin(s)”.
