It’s a well known fact that Action Bronson reps the neighborhood of Flushing, in the NYC borough of Queens.

La Coka Nostra is a rap group that includes Ill Bill, Slaine, Everlast, DJ Lethal and Danny Boy. In 2012, Everlast left the group so that he could spend more time taking care of his daughter who was suffering from a serious illness.

Even if an LCN member’s gun jams, they’ll still use it to pistol whip you.

The classic Fila Original Tennis shoes. Action rocks the low-tops in the cream/navy/red colorway.

Building off of the previous line, this is another Mobb Deep sample from 1995’s The Infamous album. The song is called “Give Up The Goods (Just Step)*, which comes right after the “Just Step (Prelude)”. Prodigy is doing the talking in this sample, giving props to his home borough of Queens, NYC.

This sample was taken from Mobb Deep’s “Just Step (Prelude)”, from their 1995 album, The Infamous. It’s a skit in which rapper, Big Noyd, raps about his recent legal troubles. He’s facing so many cases that he’s probably going to Central Booking to be sentenced by a judge.

L is slang for a joint of weed. Jay Steele rolls and smokes big L’s.

(Well, not that big).

The line is also a reference to the late Harlem, NYC rapper, Big L.

Big L used the nickname, Corleone, which he got from the fictional Corleone crime family from The Godfather films.

Termanology is too cold. He’ll shoot you so many times that what’s left of you will resemble a bowl of spaghetti.

“Papa” is a term of endearment that many Puerto Ricans use to refer to males. The American, hood equivalent would be “daddy” or “pa”. The word “cara” in Spanish means “face”. Term wants his foes to look him in the face.

Term is half Puerto Rican and half French.

Solace from Timeless Truth is referencing Mobb Deep & Kool G. Rap’s “The Realest”, the song that this instrumental was taken from. In the beginning of “The Realest”, G. Rap says “the undisputed” before starting his verse. The implication is that he (and by extension, Mobb Deep) have achieved a top notch, legendary status in the Rap game. Solace is paying homage to the original song but also showing that he’s part of the new generation of Hip Hop Greats.

Action is in his car, smoking his weed, relaxing.

When he rolls down the window to let some of the smoke out, he sees the flashing lights from a police vehicle. The term “Babylon” is Jamaican in origin and it’s a negative way to refer to cops.

Action is taking no chances, once he sees the cops, he starts racing out of there with the speed of an ice skater. For this particular reference, he mentions professional hockey player, Alex Ovechkin, a Russian captain for the Washington Capitals in the NHL.

In Westeros, people don’t believe in White Walkers, giants or mammoths. They view such creatures as fairy tales. That’s part of the reason why Janos Slynt laughed when Jon Snow spoke about the wildlings teaming up with giants, after Jon’s return from infiltrating Mance Rayder’s camp.

While Janos laughed at the idea of giants existing, the other members of the Night’s Watch stood silent. The Night’s Watch is more than aware of the presence of supernatural forces beyond the Wall. Only someone who isn’t truly part of the Night’s Watch would doubt the existence of giants. Janos' fear was so great that even while seeing the giants at the Gate, he was still in denial. It was a nightmare that he desperately wanted to wake up from.
