Christopher D'Olier Reeve (Often misspelled, mispronounced, and mistaken as Reeves) was an American actor, film director, producer, screenwriter, author and activist, most famous for his motion picture portrayal of fictional superhero Superman. On May 27, 1995 Reeve became a quadriplegic after being thrown from a horse in an equestrian competition in Virginia. He required a wheelchair and breathing apparatus for the rest of his life.

Bizarre’s 9mm pistol is so intimidating that it’d provoke Reeve (who was still alive at the time of this song’s release) to come out of his paralysis and walk (probably run) away.

Also, Eminem was making a lot of fun out of Reeves at the time of this song in other songs such as “Purple Pills,” “Who Knew” and “I’m Back” just to name a few.

A reference to the classic 1982 Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five song “The Message” which has an identical line in the fourth verse.

The line was also famously used by Snoop Doggy Dogg in the 1996 2Pac song “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted” in Snoop’s first verse.

Brenda’s fictional baby would have turned 5 in 1996, 5 years after the release of “Brenda’s Got a Baby”. It was at this time when Tupac released his infamous diss track “Hit ‘Em Up”. While rapper Tim Dog was the first to diss the opposite coast with his notorious song “Fuck Compton” in 1991, “Hit ‘Em Up” is what sparked and somewhat started the East Coast West Coast hip hop rivalry. Following its release, the East Coast rappers insulted in the song responded through tracks of their own. The controversy surrounding the song is due in part to Shakur’s murder only a few months after its release. The song was released after the release of The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Who Shot Ya?”, which Shakur interpreted as a diss song mocking his robbery/shooting. Tupac appeared on numerous tracks aiming threatening and/or antagonistic slants at Biggie, Bad Boy as a label, and anyone affiliated with them from late 1995 to 1996. During this time the media became heavily involved and dubbed the rivalry a coastal rap war, reporting on it continually. This caused fans from both scenes to take sides.

DMX often goes by the nickname of just “D” (More commonly, just “X”). In the original “Damien” song, Damien introduced himself as “D”

(My name D like you, but my friends call me Damien)

Also, in the original “Damien” a verse starts with Damien and DMX having very similar interaction, with both calling each other “D”

(Hey yo D) What up D?

It’s very likely that the “D” not only stands for “Damien”, but also “devil”

“Pic-a-nic” is the way cartoon character Yogi Bear would pronounce “picnic” in his famous catchline “Ay Boo Boo, I think I found a pic-a-nic basket!”.

However, RBX is picnicking with caskets – viz. he’s eating dead bodies

Whitey Ford is singer/rapper Everlast’s alias that he uses on varias songs and albums, such as Whitey Ford Sings the Blues and Eat At Whitey’s. While Everlast doesn’t have a “bad heart condition” he did suffer a major heart attack in 1998.

This section of the song is a variation of the Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick (Known as MC Ricky D at the time) classic 1985 song “La Di Da Di”. Em uses the same rhyme scheme, flow, and many of the same words as the original

For all of y'all keeping y'all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cause it’s cool when you cause a cozy conditioning
That we create, cause that’s our mission
So listen to what we say
Because this type of shit, it happens every day

Snoop Dogg also did a variation of “La Di Da Di” (The whole song) in his song “Lodi Dodi” from his classic 1993 debut album Doggystyle. Snoop’s variation of this part of the song is

For all my doggs keepin y'all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cause it’s cool when you cause the cozy conditioning
Which we create, cause that’s our mission
So listen close to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every day
