In a double entendre, Drake uses the British term chap to link into this exchange from the film Napoleon Dynamite:
Napoleon Dynamite: Well, will you do me a favor then? Can you bring me my chapstick?
Kip: No, Napoleon.
Napoleon Dynamite: But my lips hurt real bad!
Kip: Just borrow some from the school nurse. I know she has like five sticks in her drawer.
Napoleon Dynamite: I’m not gonna use hers, you sicko!

One half of the rap duo, UGK. The other half was Pimp C, who died from an overdose on codeine.
Kanye’s sound is nice, like Bun B when they first met. “Nice” is also often used as another way to describe yourself as high and smoked out. So maybe Bun was high..
This must have happened before the Source Awards Show stopped after 2001.

Some nice wordplay by Weezy in this line. It can be interpreted a few different ways:
Weezy has that toaster (gun), and will have you leaking red like a toaster strudel.
A chick can be his toaster strudel and when he comes, he’s gonna cover her in white frosting. Yuck.
At the end of it, both interpretations include a pun on toaster strudels (obviously). And if you don’t like toaster strudels, then you are a terrorist.

More Wayne & Drake vs Kanye & Jay-Z? Possibly, especially because Jay-Z and Kanye collaboration album is called Watch the Throne.
People assumed that this was a shot but Drake quickly put those rumors to rest as well as any speculation that he was beefing with Jay with this tweet..

Jay-Z hears you…

I think there’s a double entendre. “the throne” could also be interpreted as “dethrone” meaning Drake wants to take the crown from Jay and Kanye.

Drake- “It was a lack of communication paired with natural competitiveness,” Drake says, explaining the friction. “When something monumental is happening in front of me” – i.e., the Throne album – “and everyone’s paying attention to that, you gotta say, ‘I’m still here.’ But those two are gods to me.” (Rolling Stone)
