Ross' white faces are those of the former US presidents pictured on American currency. Much like the plenty faces Rick Ross comes across when counting money, Neo, the leading character of The Matrix film series, came across the face of the series' antagonist Mr. Smith numerous times. Although there was only one Mr. Smith, he was assisted by an army of ‘agents’ who mimicked his appearance with exact precision.

After boasting about his wealth, Ross continues to play on the trilogy by rhyming his gloriousness with another leading character, Morpheus.

Although LMFAO did reach huge popularity, the duo never got to realize this feat before its split. Party Rock was never certified by the RIAA, while Sorry for Party Rocking only reached gold status despite the success of its singles.

Party Rock had multiple successful singles, but only “Yes” and the Lil Jon-assisted “Shots” went on to receive their respective gold and double platinum certifications. Smash hit “Party Rock Anthem” went on to greatly surpass previous results and shot to seven million certified units sold, while “Sexy and I Know It” one-upped that one last time by going 8x platinum.

Vegetarian bacon might seem like quite an expensive alternative to real meat — especially when you’re already on an involuntary grits diet — but it’s all Masta Killa’s vegetarianism would allow. Since recording “Grits,” MK has even transitioned to a vegan diet.

Along with Masta Killa, fellow Clan members RZA, GZA, and Method Man have also been reported to not eat meat anymore. In 2010, GZA claimed none of the Wu members eat pork as a result of their Japanese influences.

A ‘vegetarian testimonial’ video of a pre-vegan Masta Killa and his son Eternal, filmed in collaboration with PETA, reveals MK has raised his son on a vegetarian diet. In 2014, surrounding the release of A Better Tomorrow, RZA featured in a video interview with PETA in which he stated:

When you think about a better tomorrow, you think about veganism.

Using Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” tale about an upcoming rockstar as inspiration, Z-Trip and Murs craft their own story about a boy with similar aspirations of becoming a superstar DJ. Stylistically, it continues the Fat Bottoms EP, an album by Murs and Z-Trip featuring remixes of songs by Queen and Prince.

“DJ Hero” was specifically created for the video game/turntable simulator of the same name, and, in additional to turntablism, also featured the sparingly used possibility of co-operative play with a guitarist using a Guitar Hero controller.

Z-Trip provided two additional pieces for the game: the smash hit “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen mashed up with Beastie Boys' “Brass Monkey,” and a blend of Justice’s “Genesis” and a Zakk Wylde-assisted re-recording of “Bring the Noise” by Public Enemy. All three mixes were available in a “Z-Trip Presents” playlist. Finishing the set would unlock Z-Trip as a playable character. In addition to his in-game appearances, he also demonstrated the simulator at gaming conference E3 in 2009.

Although Z-Trip produced two more mixes for the game’s sequel, DJ Hero 2, the original title song did not return.

The chorus solidifies Jidenna’s want-it-all mentality. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, the rapper touched on the origin and meaning of wanting “my other 2 points”:

Nigeria is a very proud place, and it’s also a place where you try to humiliate if you don’t see excellence. I always tell the story of my father. I remember coming to America and in the U.S. you get a high score on the test and the teacher says ‘bring it home and show your parents. So I brought it home like 'dad, look I got a 98 on my math exam.’ He said, ‘98? Where are the other two points? Go there and bring them back. Then, I will celebrate with you.’ That’s how I grew up with everything I did.

Prior to the release of The Chief, a live performance at Vevo LIFT of an outro-less “2 Points” was uploaded online as “98 Points”.
