It seems that Pusha T prefers to used rental cars instead of actually owning one himself.

He mentions this inclination in regards of his choice of transportation for mainly two reasons. The first one being an opportunity to show off his considerable amount of money in a rather subtle manner.
Second, while he may actually have one car to his name, Pusha T uses rental cars only for the sake of riding dirty.

This hook levels criticism against other rappers who blindly hate and degrade rap music from the South i.e. 50 Cent) who, in an interview, named Southern Rap simplified.

It also is important take Pimp C’s and Bun B’s deep roots in South into consideration when trying to understand this set of mind. Because as Bun B stated in an interview with MTV the origins of UGK:

Capo, der übrigens auch von Twitter Gebrauch macht, bezieht sich hier auf die Vorliebe anderer Rapper den Kurznachrichtendienst Twitter (zu dt. etwa Gezwitscher) zwecks Kommunikation zu verwenden, folglich zu twittern (dt. zwitschern).
