Tyler often raps about coke (i.e. the song “Blow”), as well as other drugs and chemicals. Despite what one would believe, Tyler labels himself as “Straight Edge,” meaning that he partakes in no drugs and no alcohol whatsoever.

On his twitter, Tyler stated, “I’m straight-edge, but make songs about doing coke”

The Straight Edge movement was started by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat in the early 1980’s.

In addition to it all being in your head due to the marijuana, remember the creativity that is vested inside your mind, ‘your head’ so to speak.

Also, the effects of psychedelics are all in your mind, and if you tell someone what you are experiencing they will think you are crazy. So you always have to remember that it isn’t real

A few weeks before Tyler’s release of Bastard (December 25, 2009), Kid Cudi punched a fan at a show in Vancouver Canada. This is quite the interesting coincidence, considering the proximity of the fan-punching, and Tyler’s release of Bastard (though the song was recorded well before the incident)

You can read about the “Fan Punching” here

Also, Cudi’s fans don’t like his lack of interaction. He tends to keep to himself and not be involved with his fans. Tyler’s fans love him

It’s also a reference to Cudi’s song “Save My Soul” which contains the lyrics “[You can] call me a hipster, as long as you’re a listener.”

A reference to the spit bucket that boxers use, going along with the boxing metaphor.

Lupe Fiasco has a song called “All Black Everything”.

Black V = Black V-12 Benz

This line is a reference to an ex member of D-12. Possibly Royce Da 5'9 but if that were true, he would have gotten “punched in the face,” not signed to Shady Records.

Who knows?

More likely though, this is a reference to Fuzz Scoota. He was originally a D12 member, but left due to beef with Proof. Then rejoined D12 after Proof’s death.

Or it could be 5 ELA

This is NOT about Royce Da 5'9 a lot of people think it is.. it isn’t

This line is a play on words. “Trick” means prostitute, and Eminem is saying not to let hos mess with your head. “Trick” is used to mean prostitute, as well as “to outsmart.”

Del’s been sucked into their lies, but he isn’t fooled by them. He’s attempting to guide young artists out of the wrong paths. The only way you can follow, or even understand this, however, is by using your intelligence, not by looking.
