This line could be about a few things:

• His beef with Jigga (now squashed)

• The battles going on in the hoods between gangs

• Wars between countries

Since he doesn’t specify, we can only guess, but the serious nature of this song makes it less likely that he was talking about his Jay-Z beef, and more likely that he was addressing the more serious problems going on in the world today like gang violence and wars.

To cook crack you put it in a storage dish, Pyrex is a popular brand of storage dishes. Kendrick says he raps with a Pyrex or in other words he’s spitting “crack” or “dope”.

In “Control”, Kendrick compares his listeners' addiction to his music to a drug addict’s addiction to drugs such as crack, starting here and continuing through the bridge, as well as in this line from his verse on “Nosetalgia”.

As well as a slang term for run down public housing, “project” can be used when talking about a planned piece of work. So Kendrick could be talking about his musical pieces.

1. He has a Pyrex container because he’s cooking and selling crack in the projects.

2. He is supplying his listeners with addictive lines in his musical projects.

Kendrick recalls it being purple kush, which was probably laced. If so, his friend didn’t alert him about it being laced, but rather just told him not to hit it too hard for fear of him overdosing.

This could be another reference to the bad experience he had with a sherm stick when he was younger, which is brought up in many songs. Most notably in the outro of “The Art Of Peer Pressure”.

Trap Lord is Ferg’s debut studio album. Yams is running through all of A$AP’s successful projects, including the song “Fuckin' Problems”, Rocky’s debut album Long.Live.A$AP, and the fact that they’re selling out tours, and stating that Ferg is next in line.

A “breakbeat” in hip hop is a drum part which usually samples old funk, soul, or jazz music, and is usually very abstract and unnatural in terms of tempo and rhythm. A lot of Blu’s beats implement breakbeat qualities.

“Busting chrome grills off” is removing car grills, so Blu probably worked at a mod shop as a side job during the writing of this track.

He’s calling himself fresh and clean, while giving a shoutout to the song “So Fresh, So Clean”, from OutKast’s fourth studio album, Stankonia.

Isaiah had ambitions of becoming a preacher until his step-brother handed him a copy of OutKast’s second studio album, ATLiens, so it’s a fair assumption to say that Stankonia had him hooked as well.

Kevin Durant

Durant’s one of the best players of his generation, and it’s clear he brings death to his opponents, even with his lean figure. Jalen Rose devised this clever name.

Durant doesn’t approve of the nickname, saying:

I like to bring light to people, basketball. Picture was cool. Hate the name.

In the the 2013-2014 season, Wardell Stephen Curry II has solidified himself as one of the leagues top point guards, putting up career numbers in almost all major statistical categories, and remaining in the top 5 for points per game and assists per game throughout most of the season.

He will soon become the first Warriors player to start in the All Star Game since Latrell Sprewell in the 1997, and both fans and players are starting to recognize his brilliance.

“Thot” is an acronym for “that hoe over there.” It is basically used as an alternative for the word “hoe.”

Hot 97 is a famous Hip Hop/R&B radio station in New York City. Lupe doesn’t like the fact that they play dull, radio friendly, poppy hip hop, and is calling them a hoe to the industry by adding a “T” to their name, thus making it “Thot 97”.

Clever Lupe, clever.

Hot 97 themselves have acknowledged the diss.
