In an interview with Complex Raekwon explained how and who exactly had the idea of the praise “C.R.E.A.M.”:

Meth came up with the hook but our dude named Raider Ruckus, this was like Meth’s homeboy back then, like they was real close, he came up with the phrase ‘cash rules everything around me.’ So when he showed Meth what it was and was like, ‘Cash rules everything around me,’ Meth was like, ‘Word, you right!’ And turned it into a movie, and I came in later that day and heard it and co-signed it.

Del uses some amazing wordplay on how the kids go and hit the back of the bus and nowadays want to “hit the back” (I.E. oral sex). The oddness of the kids going to the back of the bus happily refers to the infamous Rosa Parks incident. In which Rosa Parks refused to go to the “black part” of the bus and ended up in jail

The Good Life is a cafe where artists interested in lyrics can work on their crafts. Lots artists that are now respected in the hip-hop community went to the cafe, examples are Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Kurupt, Busdriver, Ice Cube and the members of Jurassic 5.

The producer of “I See Ya Jay” was Bilal Bashir, who has worked with artists like Everlast, Ice-T, King Tee and Divine Styler. A “house nigga” is a slave, and a “conk” a hit, meaning that Bilal had more beats than slaves got beaten.

Bill Duke is the director for the movie Deep Cover — which spawned the rap classic of the same name — and Dred appeared on the credits of the soundtrack with a writing track for the song “I See Ya Jay” by fellow rapper Ragtime.

The meaning of the last line, “Cuz it will take some change, for you to make some change”, is not made up. It just exist, it’s a product of existence and thus a natural fact. That is, unlike the evolution theory, which can’t quite be proved yet.

Note how Bun B then uses “evolving”. Although the evolution is not solved, his mind will continue evolving; mutating; improving.

The concept of “Multi ‘till the motherfucking sun die” was first shown to the public in the intro on the KRIT song “Shine On”, which was the first song released off of King Remembered In Time.

“Purpose” is a conceptual song about KRIT’s life. The crying baby indicates the birth of KRIT, which he also opens up his verse with. After that, he explains all the struggles he went through to reach the spot where he is today. Ending the track with how his life is going now.

One has to take a stance to make things happen. Things don’t happen without a cause, only praying won’t suffice. KRIT gets rid of the “chains” that held him down and started wearing medals which stand for something he has accomplished. As aforementioned, not by watching things happen, but by actually making something happen.

The only difference between a winner and a loser is a winner plays until he wins

While many people have passed away and lost track of their lives everything else doesn’t stop for them. People pray, but eventually you are the person who makes everything happen in your life, and not a paranormal force.
