Kanye’s pushing a Mercedes-Benz G-500. This toy is also known as a “G-Wagon” and the starting price was usually over $60,000.

His mom fell apart shortly after losing another man in her life. J Cole described the pain his mother felt in a 2010 Rap Radar interview.

Drake has been criticized for coming off like he was raised in a rough neighborhood when in reality Drake grew up in a nice Toronto suburb. 

His song “Started From The Bottom” really upset some listeners, claiming that Drake doesn’t have any idea of what it really is to be at the bottom…

Either way, Drake claims here that he isn’t a “hood” rapper but he is street smart and still understands what goes on in the hood.

This line also pertains to Drake’s appeal and his target audience. In his music, he tries to be accessible to both those in rough neighborhoods and children in prep school.

This line is similar to his line on the track, “Ignant Shit”, where he raps:

And me doin' the shows gettin' everyone nervous
‘Cause them hipsters gon’ have to get along with them hood niggas

During Kanye’s bit on BET’s Rap City, he freestyled the same first 8 bars seen in this verse. He also freestyles sections of “Bring Me Down” off his second album Late Registration.

Bieber is getting edgier now that he is rapping, but he is under legal drinking age (in the States) and so he still plays it safe and pops San Pellegrino, aka sparkling water.
