A natural aphrodisiac (although Viagra powder rim on cocktails has the same effect..)

Diddy makes a similar claim for Courvoisier cognac in the closing lines of “Pass the Courvoisier” with Busta Rhymes.

Usury is the practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. This may be a reference to credit card companies and banks charging people very high interest rates. But the larger point that people are making money off of others’s suffering is descriptive of the “twisted game” of US capitalism.

Usury also makes an internal rhyme across the three lines with the opening “More than usually.”

“Liquid Swords” is the title track and first song on GZA’s classic album. RZA is featured on the hook, while GZA produces two outstanding verses that exemplify his ability to make every word bite and snarl

GZA told Wax Poetics,

“This track is just braggadocios. It isn’t meant to stand for anything. I’m talking about my skills and how I’m better than the rest. Usually I take a beat home and write to it for a few days, but it wasn’t like that with this track. I think RZA played the beat for me and I just spit to it right there. The hook was actually a routine from around ‘84 that me, RZA, and Ol' Dirty would do.”

True to form, GZA drops 11 similes and 13 metaphors in just his two verses on this track.

Latest craze on The Food Network: Mixology with Pac!

Perhaps not surprisingly since he gives the recipe here, Pac’s song actually created a new urban cocktail: Thug Passion is a mixture of equal parts the expensive champagne, Cristal, and the cognac blend, Alize. While cognac is traditionally drunk straight or neat, hip hop cultural invented new cocktails that mixed the 300-year old French brandy with a variety of mixers.

(Note: Korbel pictured above instead of Cristal for a more affordable “Thug Passion.”)

Refrence to “Kids”, the song by MGMT which they made the beat from, keeping in tune with the whole theme of being a kid.
