“Who’s the one that killed that boy?”

Could be asking who killed BiG as a reference to the previous Line.

Referring to the lyrics in Master P’s song “How You Do That There”

Add a suggestion

Bic owns the disposable lighter market. Flame refers to a gun as does toast, chopper, etc.

Also sounds like he’s saying “My name ain’t Big”, an tribute to The Notorious B.I.G.. I think he meant listeners to hear it both ways.

Another way of hearing it: “My name ain’t big, but i keep that FRAME”

…which is also a sick rhyme: his name is literally “Lil”, but he’s big in every other way.

Gwen Stefani was the female lead singer of the band No Doubt — surely she has “no doubt” of Lil Wayne’s rapping prowess..

This is a reference to the New Orleans Saints cheer, “Who dat said they gon beat the Saints”

The Cincinnati Bengals stole the cheer, rebranding it slightly by changing the “dat” to a “dey”. According to HBO’s Hard Knocks, rookies on the Bengals initially find the cheer cheesy and awkward, but invariably they end up embracing it

Like Eminem, Weezy includes André 3000 of Outkast in his shortlist of the Best Rappers Alive

Singer Erykah Badu rarely raps (although when she does it’s mad good)

André and Erykah Badu were married and are now divorced — they have a son named Seven Sirius Benjamin. So Weezy’s mostly throwing her name in as a tease to André

All of Erykah’s exes are sick rappers. Since he believes himself of a similar calibre, Wayne wants to get with her, and asks where she’s at.

Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and 2Pac are the only three rappers guaranteed to be mentioned in the “greatest of all time” debate. Lil' Wayne claims to be knocking on the door of the Pantheon.

He also drops these three in “Mr. Carter” featured on the same album (Tha Carter III)

“I have a large wad of money”

In 2008, he also wore particularly “knotty” dreads. Pusha T uses the same “money and hair” wordplay in The Morning:

Now his pockets stay knotty as his hair, yeah

“My gun is great” (“sick” has replaced the word “good” for today’s young people). His Glock spits bullets (throws up) because it is “sick.”
