As Nas states in the line below, Black Jason was a close friend of his. The scene he lays out is him and his homie, getting drunk or in the process of getting drunk, as they arrive at the Apollo Theatre in 1989.
The Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York is by far the most famous performance venue associated with African American entertainers, whether they be musicians or actors.

Presumably a description of the commonly used “Magical Negro” trope: a minority who steps, momentarily, into the life of a more privileged character to impart knowledge or wisdom which may help to enrich said character’s life.
Here the “magical negro” is the old man who takes Nas aside to warn him of the dangers facing him, without actually pointing them out specifically, common among “Magic Negro” characters who exist to serve or enrich those of privilege without taking glory or action theirselves.

But nothing…
Obama points the finger at Russia for slipping back into the Cold War mentality, but it’s important to ask if they have a “Cold War Budget Without A Cold War”. Our budget exceeds that of the Cold War or any other “threatening time” for that matter and yet we spend more than most of the developed world (including allies) combined.

Obama once supported the very reforms to the NSA surveillance programs that he desperately condemned only last week, the House amendment viewable here.
Obama was in-fact a co-sponsor of the bill which would have limited the NSA’s programs, in addition to co-sponsoring another bill which would have again restricted the right of the NSA to place surveillance or data collection nets on domestic citizens of the United States. He would eventually reverse his position, much like he reversed his position on all reforms he supported and restrictions against the National Security Agency.

That double meaning
Puss connotates some pussy from girls that would be dirty enough that Earl and his team can hit them with some cunnilingus, sex, and mustard. Dirty means freaky when used to describe anything related to sex but, here Earl also uses it to state that the girl also has to be dirty much like a car can be dirty.
Cars are labelled as dirty when there are illegal activities going on inside of the car (illicit drugs, no license, etc.) thus the girl must also be a naughty girl, a naughty dirty pussy. Did we mention Earl stole the car also?
Puss as in “pus” forms at the sight of an infection, being a runny discharge. Earl and the crew are looking for some pus niggas which would be weak-flowing rappers, runny at best, which could be easily picked apart by Earl and Co..
Also, ‘pussy’ means coward so when Earl says ‘some puss to pick apart’ he could mean ‘some coward to pick apart’.
