Nas isn’t sitting at home, telling his S-Class how pretty it is. He buys them because they are swag as fuck and his niggas can cruise in them with swag.

A http://www.thefreedictionary.com/worshipper (related to worship). Nas doesn’t love luxury cars but he has purchased a few of them.

For https://www.google.com/search?q=weed+stick+to+cuticles&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=cruise+meaning (#4 definition). Nas and his dudes smoke weed while driving around. They get pulled over since they’re in a ‘particular vehicle’, the type of car cops look for. Unlikely a ‘hemp car’ though but maybe see http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/11/01/the-worlds-most-eco-friendly-car-its-made-entirely-from-hemp/ fueled by weed the http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/lotus/lotus-eco-elise-2009-green-review/

It’s easier for people to generalize and stereotype than to apply something to a small group, one of the reasons that Coke suppliers acting biased/Cause rumors say that niggas wear wires and we liars, even though its only a few of them that are rats.

NASIR HISTORY LESSON: Rothschild is this huge European family that has huge financial resources and by WWI, every major European ruler (which was essentially the world at that specific time) was related through this family.

RG HISTORY LESSON: The family also controlled the wealth of all these nations and their gold supplies and prices, meaning that you could march around yelling you were an Emperor but if the Rothschild family said jump. See artist rendition below for details.

These rappers got gloves on but no masks, indicating they are just being way too cautious and not only scared to do hood rat shit but to make real music. Instead, they are busy making love songs or lacking the real passion that rap was once about.

He’s also playing on the idea of “Carrying on Tradition”, as he would later sing about, by saying that the rappers that battle non-rappers are actually carrying tradition backwards, and making hip hop worse.

Eminem was basically the only rapper battling non-rappers as he was dissing Pop stars, R&B singers and Actors. Funnily enough, about a year prior, in Eminem’s song “Monkey See Monkey Do”, Eminem says:

I pray for the day that someone who spits with the caliber that Nas and Jay does
Opens up his jaw to say somethin' or rattle my name off
Or rattle the first thing from the top of his brain off so I can blow the fuckin' dust off of this chainsaw and give him the surgery that he came for
‘Till I peel the paint off

Eminem got his prayer answered here but he never responded to or went at Nas

The last line alone is clearly a shot at Eminem , because Eminem was dissing Mariah Carey at the time (who is a non rapper) .

“Iron” is slang for “gun”. If Nas has to whip out his gun, you can guarantee you are coming back home in a body bag.

Logic’s song Love Jones was from his first mixtape Young, Broke, and Infamous. This line was a reference to his hate for how most rappers live and thrive in the rap game. “Most living the life that I’m living. Is driven by money and women.” It shows how he thinks that rappers are driven by money and women. Furthermore, this is why they rap.

At first sinister means sick but when he brings about the minister simile, it changes to mean powerful and captivating. Minister spit verses that are meant to inspire and captivate the audience: exactly what Logic does.

A popular trope in gangster/mafioso rap is the mention of having an enemy’s funereal wake sprayed up while others are there to view the body.

This album was one of the main reasons why mafioso rap grew- along with Reasonable Doubt, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and Hell On Earth as well
