He is so influential that when he steps into the scene, he takes over like europeans took over america when the red indians were indigenous dwellers. He also he makes them associated to the firm and exiles the rebellious- that’s if they want to be hard-headed.

He is saying they are so large, live lavishly and wealthy that they deal with the elite type of chicks who are willing to stepdown their class for him and his crew by fulfilling their sexual fantasies. And one more thing, it is so overflowingly obvious, it ain’t hard to tell.

Referencing Akinyele, a 90’s and early-2000’s emcee who was known for his sexually explicit lyrics and his hit song “Put It In Your Mouth.”

Girls hope that he’ll take ‘em out the hood and keep 'em looking good, yet:

Just because you got good head, I'mma break bread
So you can be living it up
Shit I, part with nothing, y'all be fronting

The line is also a personal shout-out as Akinyele was a close friend of Jay’s. They met in the late 80’s, became friends, and toured together multiple times. Ak was even on the tour when Hov showed Nas his first TEC-9.

As he says throughout the song (and the album), Jay is way more than just a rapper.

I thought I told you characters I’m not a rapper

As he’d say on “Big Pimpin'”,

I got so many grams if the man find out
It will land me in jail for life
