Jeezy has “game” (good taste) in “old school” (classic) “whips” (cars)
The Atari system had an old-school whip game too:
But this isn’t it. Ever heard of Night Driver?
Nah using Atari to refer to his old school whip game is correct, but not for an actual game but the joystick motion. Peep the Atari joystick below. You had to whip the joystick back and forth whether controlling your man or your car aka “whip” if you were playing. Either way it works.

Like the drug money Pusha T’s trying to hide, Yale grad student Annie Le’s corpse was stuffed into a wall:
Pusha would later defend this line on “Changing Of The Guards.”
I’ll be damned if I let Yale campus vilify
As I uplift this art form ceiling high
I can’t identify, with your one death
We lose thousands over here, you speakin' one breath
This makes an interesting point (also on the “Changing of the Guard” explanation): thousands die in the city without any recognition, yet when a Yale student is killed, it makes the news.
However, this also has the implication that one life (Annie Le’s) is unimportant, so, well, your mileage may vary.
One could also argue that the reason this line caused controversy was not to do with him “making light” of the incident, but for referring to a high-profile murder victim as “the Yale bitch”.

Getting tear tattoos means that you killed someone. The most famous tear-tats are on the face of Lil Wayne (who probably never killed anyone):
Unlike Weezy, Pusha has killed someone but doesn’t have the corny tattoo
There's too many spirits on these ghost-written tunes
So you can't crown the heir until you seance the room (YEUGH!) Jeezy (Ft. Clipse) – Ill'in

Pusha T casts suspicion on the young potential heirs to the hip hop throne (Lil Wayne, Drake), accusing them of using ghostwriters. The Clipse were alleged ghostwriters for Lil Wayne. They then got into a one-sided beef with him, as he completely jacked their style from the clothes to the cocaine-influenced raps. They’re claiming that if Weezy is getting all of the accolades, why aren’t the people who he is ripping off?To crown an heir Jay would have to crown all these “ghosts” as well – a seance is an attempt to communicate with ghosts.
Hard!
