This run of “twelve”-related puns is similar to the third verse of Writer’s mentor Cam'ron’s ode to Midwest drug dealing, “Get It In Ohio”

I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6
My 12 and 12 – well, they carry my bricks
And them 12-12 fiends, they’re married to sniff
And the V12, that’s on various trips

Common has denied that his new song “Sweet”, with its shots at rappers “[s]inging all around me man, la la la / You ain’t motherfucking Frank Sinatra”, is directed at Drake, despite the Canadian wonder’s direct emulation of Ol' Blue Eyes on the MTV VMA’s. Common’s not-all-that-convincing denial:

It’s whoever the cap fits, then let ‘em wear it. I think it’s a lot of creative artists out there. I think Drake makes some good music
