Clauncher joins the many crustacean Pokemon but sets itself apart by being based on the pistol shrimp, a shrimp that can snap it’s claws so fast that the water around it evaporates causing a cavitation bubble of water trying to fill the empty space that shoots at the shrimp’s pray paralyzing it or burning and even killing it.

After almost 2 decades of fans (usually on internet forums) wishing and even begging for a legit lion Pokemon, the game makers finally gave fans what they wanted as opposed to the previously accepted but illegitimate lion, Shinx. In addition to Liltleo being based on a popular inspiration suggestion, it comes with an appropriate and unique type combination of Fire and Normal and the signature move Noble Roar.

Hov makes a few OutKast references here. “Ice Cold” is a moniker used by member André 3000; it is most heard on tracks from The Love Below, which was his disc on the group’s double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. TLB was supposed to be released as a stand-alone album, but was “married” to Big Boi’s Speakerboxxx, creating an award winning double LP for OutKast. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is one of the last albums ever produced by the group, followed only by their Idlewild soundtrack. Sadly, OutKast has come to a [somewhat open] end.

Hov is also making reference to the group’s 1998 track “Aquemini,” which acknowledges that all great things come to an end eventually. Andre and Big Boi pledge in their verses to stand with each other until that time comes.

On a personal note, Shawn Carter is acknowledging that his friendship and partnership with DeHaven Irby had to come to an end eventually. Sadly, it didn’t exactly end in a positive way.

Conscious rap is rap containing lyrics that focus on ecological, political and/or social issues. Conscious rap originates from political hip hop and frequently overlaps with it, but the two are independent.

In 1982, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five dropped the genre changing classic The Message. The song is constantly noted as the first conscious rap song.

Notable examples of conscious rappers:

Short for “Young Hova”, his self appointed nickname.

Though it may not have been the initial origin of this nickname, Jay uses the idea of him being “young” forever as he will live on through his legacy even after he is old and/or deceased.

This concept is highlighted in multiple songs most notably in the song Young Forever off of his 11th studio LP: The Blueprint 3.
