Grey clouds — also known as rain clouds — are a sign of oncoming rain. The scientific name for a a rain cloud is a nimbus cloud — which means rain storm in Latin. There are two different types of nimbus clouds, depending on the atmospheric conditions the nimbus cloud forms in.

  • The first type of nimbus cloud is a cumulonimbus cloud. Cumulonimbus clouds are known for having intense rain and thunderstorms.

  • The second type of nimbus cloud is a nimbostratus cloud. The main characteristic of nimbostratus clouds is the long, light rainfall, unlike the cumulonimbus clouds, which have short, intense rainfall.

Rainy days are commonly associated with sadness and tiredness. Contrary to popular belief, this is due to the rain making it harder to have a good sleep, making people tired and upset. Also, the lack of sunlight can bring down someone’s mood.

The entire purpose of this line is to continue with the theme of sadness and struggle, as presented in this previous line:

In the darkest hours I’ve seen God save lives
In the brightest hours I’ve seen God take lives

It has only been two years since Action released his debut project, Dr. Lecter, and he has already reached borderline mainstream status and was voted as a 2013 XXL Freshmen. Action certainly has exceeded and succeeded in the rap game quickly, while most rappers spend years striving to reach fame.

There is also wordplay between the words pussies and bleeding. Bronson is referring to a girl’s monthly period – “I’m exceeding” also sounds like ex-seeding, he’s fucking other girls while she’s on her period.

Action’s family is from an European country known as Albania. Action himself wasn’t born there, but his father immigrated to America before Action was born, with the rest of his father’s side of the family staying in Albania.

Action speaks more on Albania, and other things, here!

You’re originally from Albania. Did the Albanian background and heritage affect your upbringing? Would you ever perform there?

Well, to answer that part, I would love to perform back in the homeland in Macedonia where my family’s from, in Albania, in Kosovo. I need to get back there. We were supposed to go there but it fell through. There was some issues with the traveling and border and everything. I’ve been there three times already and it’s pretty heavy duty over there. Got to keep a gun with you everywhere you go. Of course, you know, my father’s a fucking off-the-boat immigrant. You grow up different. You grow up with a weird mentality. I’m sure everyone has their thing. It’s just certain aspects of Albanian manhood that has helped me in this music business.

Despite the official secular stance of Albania, there’s a large Muslim population. Did you ever have any beliefs in Islam?

I mean, yeah, my family is all Islamic. My family is all Muslim on my father’s side. Of course, you know, he wants me to grow up the way he grew up and have the same beliefs but with time, I have my own beliefs and that’s that.

Linen is a textile usually used for manufactured items, but it is used for clothing as well. Linen is very good for maintaining coolness and freshness in hot weather. Perfect for the L.A. weather that Action lived in during the recording of this tape.

And he (Action Bronson) graciously gave us a track-by-track breakdown of Rare Chandeliers, taking us behind-the-scenes at Alchemist’s in-house L.A. studio.

This line is a double entendre:

  • The literal meaning means that Action always keeps his money safe in a bank or his own personal safe — hence safe kid.

  • The figurative meaning is continuing with the baseball terminology presented in the previous and next line. In the line, “Numb your face like the bass did,” bass is a homophone with base. In baseball, you steal — or slide — into bases; Umps will call the runner safe if he isn’t tagged out before he reaches the base. This ties in with the next line, “Lou Brock,” in that Lou Brock was known for being a great base stealer.
