A lot of people from the hood look up to Birdman (a.k.a Baby), but little do they know that Diddy (a.k.a puffy) is worth nearly 4.5 times more than Baby. According to Forbes, they’re worth $125 and $550 million respectively, and that’s what Dom’s going for.
This could also be a shout out to fellow West Coast rapper ScHoolboy Q, who’s been enjoying a streak of success and has taken to calling himself Puffy. Diddy approves:

Nas is a lover not a fighter, and this song is dedicated to his passion for two of his old flames. One was the famous Kelis, who he divorced from, and the other was Amy Winehouse, a likely mariage wrecker. With one dead, and one estranged, Nas wishes for his fly honeys back.

Soul Brother #2 is second up for #TDEFamAppreciationWeek, and following Jay Rock’s “YOLA,” he presents the world with “Nibiru.” Built around doomsday theories and on JMSN’s slightly foreboding production, Soulo seemingly speaks from the perspective of Nibiru, Anunnaki and as an observer of this proposed end-of-times.
This song is built around conspiracy theories, but believe what you want.

Wordplay on the word real/reel; he’s living a real life, not a fairy tale movie plot.
Reeling is also what you do in fishing to catch fish. DreamWorks Animation is a film company whose logo is a fisherman on the moon reeling in something, which ties in with both a film reel and the action itself. Also, since they handle animation their characters aren’t real, unlike Soulo. Has the wordplay left you reeling?

To quote J. Cole:
Pussy my passion, never been a fan of flashing
Probably cuz’ I never could, so if I had it, never would
Then I got my first little taste of paper and I splurged
I guess it’s just the nigga urge
Now that he’s getting on, he’s embracing his inner vanity slave to a degree. That’s women, weed (a dime bag is $10 of the stuff) and brews. Considering that he was rocking Chuck Taylors for so long, and that they’re often associated with gangs, he might’ve been mixed up with some of Carson’s Pirus, whom he mentions later on.
