The Black Album was intended to be Jay’s last album. It would culminate a career that had seen him become the most envied rapper in history due to his:
Hit records —

wealth —

and relationship with Beyonce —

Simply put there would never be another Jay so give him his due.

Since then, a dude that looks very much like Jay has dropped 3 solo albums since; it couldn’t be Jay though as his impostor sucks.

Folding is to back out of a hand in the game poker — he’ll make you back down. MacBooks also fold closed; clever wordplay.

The reference to a “MacBook” here is also a reference to privilege and elitism, implying that it is wealthier people who are standing in the way.

Add a suggestion

Nas knows full well flaunting wealth generates hate, therefore he keeps his bodyguards around. Most likely this is an ego-boosting exercise to show his enemies how invincible he is.

No one is crazy like em. He’s killed his baby momma in front his own daughter and raped his own mother. How this scoundrel is still roaming the streets is beyond me.

50 has the worst streak when it comes to getting money and will stoop at nothing to get rich or he’ll die trying.

How can you be a real g if you haven’t gotten dirty? Better of getting a job/degree instead of posing.

Direct jibe at Ja Rule perhaps. If that is the case 50s words were quite prophetic, right now Ja is somewhere rotting in a jail cell whilst 50 counts his riches.

One of 50s many nicknames. Others include: fiddy and fif.

50’s untouchable so don’t bother starting beef with him.

The hood is a jungle and 50 is staying true to stereotype by antagonising others who are worse off than him.

If you ask me that’s selfish, though then again I wasn’t asked…

Trying hard for fame, they tried doing all sorts of things to achieve it. However, in the pursuit they became self-centered and slowly began to change into something ugly.

Also Talib referenced Biggie’s last album Life After Death. Throughout the album there are numerous references to Tupac and Biggie. Their deaths rocked the landscape of hip-hop and this album was a way of putting back some much needed enlightenment.

She may flirt around but Andre is the only one she really cares for.

Big Boi minus Andre 3000 or not is nothing. Big Boi has more than enough bars to hold his own.
