Ross’s security system picked up an intruder on his property (maybe the well it, manicured lawn a few lines above), so he has this person shot with a .357 Magnum and wrapped in a body bag, as though the corpse were a present. It’s then buried under a tree.
Ross is gonna turn insomniac with all this gunplay in his front yard.

Drake might be speaking on the infamous sophomore slump (jinx), wherein a musician’s second album fails to overcome their first in terms of strength. Drake had the opposite, you might say, as Take Care is near universally said to be superior to his debut Thank Me Later.
He’s also playing on the title of Jay-Z’s seventh album, The Blueprint 2. BP2 is a double album. The first album, The Gift tended to be more lively, while the second, The Curse was darker and more diss-laden.
Thus, Drake has the talent (gift), without any negative consequences (curse).

Prime time (peak television time) is from either 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM Eastern & Western Time. This means it’s probably dark outside, so Pusha has his convertible top down to view the stars.
Pusha T is no stranger to wearing his hats backwards, or in the context of this line, his top back.
His pimp game and his coke money pay him so well that he can afford red leather. It’s very common to see a pimp or a drug dealer wearing flashy clothes such as red leather suits.
Pusha T is a noted cocaine dealer, Rick James was a noted cocaine user, so they share that connection.
“I’m Rick James, ho” refers to the Charlie Murphy story where Rick goes around telling various women to do something for him since “I’m Rick James, bitch”. Rick James famously wore red leather boots.
Also a reference to Jay-Z’s and Kanye West’s song “Primetime”

Probably also has to do with one of the most famous lines to come out of that episode: “Cocaine is a hell of a drug” – Rick James
Shit, I thought this line was about Eddie Murphy. Primetime, red leather, cocaine and Rick James.
