Eminem plays on the perception that Rice’s team, The Baltimore Ravens, were too lenient with him and almost celebrated what he did. While they did eventually cut him, they waited until the video was released and the public demanded he be cut.

Yelawolf has the money to buy whatever he wants, but still owns clothing that looks like it was given away for free. This plays on the meaning of “styles”, as it can refer to both the many styles of clothing Yela wears and the many styles of raps he brings to the mic.

This is also a reference to/jab at Macklemore, who became famous for his song “Thrift Shop” which is about getting clothes for as cheap as possible. Yela has felt that Mack stole his style, which is why Goodwill loves him more than Macklemore.

Given that Breaking Bad is filled with references to classic movie, as well as the fact Gilligan intended it to be a “modern day Western”, it’s likely Tuco was named after Tuco Ramirez frm The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

This hints that the “American way” when it comes to television is to take something that people enjoy and milk it for all its worth until you beat it to death and people start getting sick of it.

The original saying “too many cooks will spoil the broth” means that while it’s good to have extra help, too many people contributing to a project will actually be detrimental.

In this context, it likely means that there are too many cliches going around TV and it’s hurting the quality. It seems like every show these days is either a sitcom about a group of friends or family, or a crime/medical drama. While the 2000’s have been hailed as the “new Golden Age of Television” thanks to the quality of the top 1% shows like Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Game of Thrones, the quality of the other 99% has steadily declined.

The distance between Greenwich Village and East Orange, NJ is minimal – only about 15 miles. The more important point is that Dylan is starting to slowly gravitate back West towards Minnesota after being less than impressed with New York.

Dylan really did travel to East Orange after leaving Greenwich Village in hopes of meeting Woody Guthrie. He visited Guthrie at the Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital and spent time living with Bob and Sid Gleason – friends of Guthrie’s who would occasionally have Guthrie over on the weekends.

Dylan recalled his time in East Orange in a skit called “The Story of East Orange”, complaining about how much chess patrons played in the coffee shops he performed at and detailing a dream in which chess pieces were used as currency.

Due to the proximity to a black hole of one of the planets the crew visits, 7 years pass on Earth for every hour spent there.

This was explored in the difference between dream levels in Inception, but made more dramatic here. Instead of differences in minutes or hours that affect a mission, Interstellar deals with differences in years and decades that affect a family.
