Lebowski

A famous chess move, “sacrificial” in most cases, but if played correctly it can be powerful.

Possibly a double entendre, Queens' knight referring to Nas.

How long are we going to be at the top of the game?

This is a critique towards US Foreign Policy. The lady in this case is terrorism. The number is 9/11, the justification for American intervention in the Mid-East.

• From an American point of view, fighting terrorism is a lost cause because fighting an idea serves no purpose but never ending warfare.

• There’s no use yelling. Who ya gonna call?

• There seems so be no use running, because terror is senseless can strike be anywhere, anytime.

However, this isn’t the case. In actually, terrorism against America exists because of blow back. Blow back from financing the Mujaheddin (including a young Bin Laden) during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and other mucking about in the region.

Therefore, to end terrorism, you must leave the Middle East alone. That is, you must run. However, as Jay says, Americans are proud of the fact that we never run. And that is proposed to make Uncle Sam a bit dumb, or oblivious at the least. .

Make sure you have an Umbrella…

Wayne’ll shoot you with his .44, but he can beat the shit out of you first, if that’s what you’re into.

Or, for the ladies, he’s strapped (a .44 is a magnum) but also a considerate lover.

A sample of Ice Cube’s verse on Fuck the Police.

In the late 80s and early 90s, the only people who had pagers were doctors and drug dealers. But as you know The Cool Kids floss the old school.

“Dick Boys” refers to detectives (i.e. Dick Tracy).

There’s the obvious wordplay of “dick” and “cock”, but it is not offered gratuitously. Instead phallic images are often used as symbols of power and it is fitting they are used to describe the police. Also, the analogy of the arrogant individual to the male chicken (i.e. “strutting like a cock”) has been in use since the Middle Ages.

I sort of see the resemblance.
