Whatever champagne Jay-Z drinks, the world will follow. Originally everybody drank the famous French champagne Cristal, a trend Jay-Z popularized until the Cristal company’s racist statements disapproving of rappers drinking their champagne made him switch to Armand Champagne, aka “Ace of Spades”

And guess what everybody else started drinking when Jay switched?? Copycats! (Armand comes in a gold bottle)

More than a relief pitcher, I'm the closer Jeezy (Ft. JAY-Z) – Go Crazy

“Closers” are the best “relief” (ie non-starting) pitchers in baseball. He’s saying that he’s a very good “relief pitcher” i.e. someone who “pitches” (sells) you “relief” (drugs)

“More than a relief pitcher, I’m the closer”

In baseball, a relief pitcher comes into the game to take over the pitching if the starting pitcher gets hurts, gets tired or doesn’t play well. A closer is a pitcher that specializes in, as the position title suggests, closing out games. He is essentially the most valuable relief pitcher on the team

I think the point Jay makes with the relief/closer analogy is that he’s able to “finish the job”, any goals that he sets out to accomplish- he does. The line is about finishing strong whatever you start

Drug dealers refer to a brick of drugs as “work” since you have to work hard selling it

He’s wrapping up the brick of cocaine in latex – in order to mail it – with the same care and precision that he would use in putting on a condom; it fits the brick like a spandex onesie

“Buy 18 the hard way” means buying a ½ kilo from an unvetted drug source. If the transaction had been done before from a dealer you knew, there would be nothing “hard” about it. Also, the drugs are purchased in a hot boy area.

It is a craps metaphor and it refers to rolling two dice with the same number on each die. Rolling “18 the hard way” would be rolling two “9’s”, if there were nines on dice. Jeezy is most likely talking about purchasing two nine millimeter handguns, as his next bar mentions “Gun Play”.

An allusion to the Wu-Tang song “C.R.E.A.M.”; Jeezy agrees with the sentiment of the song (he loves “scrilla” i.e. money) and considers himself a killer with a ghostly face (a play on the name of the rapper Ghostface Killa, a member of Wu-Tang)
