Ye has seen a shift over his career as his fan base and admirers have grown from “only niggas” to everybody across race lines, we’re all controlled by corporate America. The “niggas” in this line is sampled from Curtis Mayfield’s “Don’t Worry if There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go”. It was also sampled in Ye’s 2004 hit, “Jesus Walks”.
Steve Stoute’s “The Tanning of America” touches on a similar idea to Ye — the new generation in America is more “pan-ethnic”, “color blind” and cool.
Kanye might be making the point that originally slaves were only ‘niggas’ before, referring to the slave trade in America, but now people of all colors and origins are unknowingly becoming ‘vanity slaves’ in our society— slaves to materialism, appearance, and consumerism.
Chance uses the same flow here as 50 Cent on the album version of Hate Bein' Sober “She a hot tamale, when she pop the molly….”
Fun Fact
Chris Webber, a huge hip hop fan (watch the Fab 5 documentary), actually produced the Nas song Surviving The Times off of his Greatest Hits album
Contrary to you may think because of this song, Q was actually primary a oxycontin dealer (part of the reason his album is called Oxymoron).
However, Q was lucky that all the crack he sold was all good. “The yay was yay” is a play on the pet name of coke, and the regular definition of yay, which is a sign of approval.
Quan was Nas’s prodigy, much akin to what Memphis Bleek was to Jay-Z. Quan was most notably featured on the somber anthem, Just a Moment
But this shit sound like God don't it? Pusha T (Ft. Rick Ross) – Millions 1
Pusha is also asking anyone considering this statement to be blasphemous for forgiveness (or at least acceptance)

It can’t be in Budd’s sword because Beatrix finds the Honda sword hidden in Budd’s stuff when she was fighting Elle and it said on the sword that it was from Bill, proving that Budd was lying when he told Bill he sold it
This kind of resembles the story of Boobie Miles (the namesake of this song) who was a promising, sought after running back out of Texas, but had a big knee injury which essentially ended his once promising football career. After Boobie got injured, Boobie got berated by racist remarks from people, some even said he “should be shot like an animal”, proving not everyone was his friend
that is an insult to the mighty NotoriouSkillz
almost as lyrical as me pleyboi
more like 2 hunnid pleyboi
Dr. Dre is more of a producer than a rapper (and when he raps he is ghostwritten for).
Devin The Dude should have made the list
This is actually a refrence to his song, I Still Love You which was the last track off The Weatherman and was dedicated to his mother.
i think that this is biased against 2dopeboyz. They claim that they never knew of Tyler when he came out, and were dumbfounded on why he would diss them, when they didn’t even know who he was. They also admit that they like their music, so the last paragraph part is not so true in this case.
the explanations on this song particularly are extraordinary. Just Bravo. Props to everyone who did this
He’s not dissing Kanye on this. And apparently it’s not a diss song at all
