Despite the content of this song, 50 Cent admits to not smoking weed.

I don’t drink and I don’t use drugs, and I didn’t back then, either. I put that joint on the first record because I saw artists consistently selling 500,000 with that content.

Both Portia De Rossi and Jessica Simpsons are former celebrity targets whom Eminem has mocked before, only this time it being a little more ‘'evil’‘.

Sorry Portia, but what’s Ellen DeGeneres
Have that I don’t? Are you telling me tenderness?

Stuck a pin in Jessica’s head and walked away
And as she flew around the room like a balloon
I grabbed the last can of chicken tuna out the trash can

Nadya Suleman, better known as Octomom, became famous after giving birth to octuplets (8 kids!), only the second full set of octuplets to be born alive in the United States.

Em goes into horrific detail of what he’d do to her and plays around with the idea of killing babies, seeing as she tends to make a lot of them.

Eminem also mention Octomom in ‘’Chemical Warfare‘’:

Shit, back down, man I’d rather lick on a scrotum
And eat the fuckin' Octomom’s pussy lips with some okra

50Cent references three song titles in this couplet; “On My Own” by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald, “Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home)” by Marvin Gaye and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” by The Temptations.

The chorus to “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” also includes the line, “wherever he laid his hat was his home.“ A "rolling stone” is someone who constantly moves around and doesn’t settle down in one place. 50 Cent was always on tour at the time of this recording.

Big Daddy Kane had a similar line in “Long Live the Kane”:

But this time I’m not assisted on the microphone. More like Patti Labelle, on my own.

In the Book of Samuel in the Old Testament, David (the future king of Israel), accepts a battle against a Philistine warrior, Goliath. All the Israelites were terrified of Goliath, and King Saul offered a reward for any person who could defeat him. All David brought with him were a sling and five stones. With only one stone to the head, Goliath was knocked out and David proceeded to chop his head off. This would seem like an uneven match, but the underdog took on the throne.

50 Cent was new in the game at this point and would be considered an underdog. Both Nas and Jay Z were many years deep into the game and were heavyweights. The story of David and Goliath inspires him to believe he could do the same and take on the throne of hip hop.

Try to step to 50 and he’ll not make sure you’ll die, he’ll start it off with a beating so thorough all your clothes will be torn off then proceed to drag your body through the streets as if they were cleaning it and end the ritual by dumping your dead body in a body bag.

50 can’t afford to go out and shoot people, but he can definitely afford to pay people to murder for him. Just think, after every Vitamin Water you buy, another dead body ends up in a dumpster in the ghetto.
