Nas uses both meanings of “host” for a great double entendre.

One on hand, a “host” is a large number of something, speaking on how so many rappers have passed away. He is also saying that he carries the spirits of all of the legendary rappers (Pac, Biggie, Pun, Big L, etc.) who passed away, as their “host.”

The woman has turned into a middle-aged cougar (a term used to for middle-age women who date younger men who are usually in their twenties), and has now become many young mans dream to be with her. Because who doesn’t like a MILF?

The first Hip Hop jams started in The Bronx in 1973 so Hip Hop is now hitting its forties. But the people that fuck with it (rappers and fans alike) are usually in their teens and twenties.

Another explanation could be that Hip Hop used to be young, beautiful and special — but has aged and lost that beauty but is now trying to regain it youthfulness and success as a cougar (older lady) will try and feel young again by attracting younger men, but nonetheless does not always attract the right kind of men.

Also the line is a clever play on the names of very popular Hip Hop magazines Source, Word Up, and Right On.

Also a double entendre, saying the source of hip-hop is the magazines which help spread word about artists.

Nas doesn’t really want the girl/game anymore you can take her if you want her, Nas already got all he ever wanted from the Hip Hop game and sees the way she’s whored herself to all the other MCs over the years.

The “She’s yours” is not only a statement (Hip Hop belongs to the people), it’s also a nod to the T La Rock classic “It’s Yours” (which Pete Rock cut up lovely for Nas' “The World is Yours”).

Notice how he says, “I fuck Hip Hop” as opposed to Scarface’s “fucked” in past tense. Nas still has some sexing up to do before he’s finished.

Scarface only cries two tears for her, her being an extended metaphor for hip-hop.

Using a relationship as an extended metaphor for hip-hop is reminiscent of the Common classic I Used to Love H.E.R. – Common
