The more people he shoots, the bigger and badder reputation he will have

Jada claims to know people who are so poor/unafraid of jail/all-around gangster that they get arrested on purpose just in order to use the prison system’s medical and dental facilities

Jada is fine with using either a revolver or an automatic weapon — depends on the circumstance, I guess…

Ren will get his money however he needs to — if not by selling records, then by robbing dice games. We here at R.G. agree that these are pretty much the only ways to make money — unless, of course, you’re a lawyer

“Daddy Cool” is the nickname of a hitman with exceptional knife-handling skills named Larry Jackson in the 1974 Donald Goines novel Daddy Cool. Jadakiss has often mentioned that Goines' books are an obsession for him, as they are for many rappers

Jada is saying that he has had knife skills since he was a youngster wearing Bally footwear

Though his raps serve as a decent window into his life, Eazy E (who died of AIDS in 1995) never got to write a proper autobiography, but his business partner and mentor Jerry Heller wrote an excellent one about their unlikely friendship called Ruthless: A Memoir

Compton, obvs

Cube’s raps will keep you entertained, but he is a real criminal on par with notorious murderer/cult leader/friend-of-the-Beach-Boys Charles Manson

“Murder rap” and “crime record” also serve as clever wordplay with double meaning. A “murder rap” traditionally refers to a court conviction of murder; however, in this line it also refers to the hardcore gangsta rapping in the song. A “crime record” usually refers to the list of previous crimes for which someone has been convicted; in this case, it also refers to N.W.A’s musical record, or album, which contains songs about criminal activities, making it a “crime record.”

N.W.A., just in case you couldn’t guess, didn’t like police very much

Ice Cube is not shy about using a sawed-off shotgun to kill people when necessary. He would refer back to this line on the song “Endangered Species (Tales From The Darkside)”, from his first solo album:

I told you last album —
When I got a sawed off, bodies are hauled off
