Men often find women hard to understand. She has mixed feelings—one minute she’s okay, the next minute there’s something wrong.

Kanye also implies the girl is ‘hot’, as in good looking, and ‘cold’, as in heartless and distant, which ties into the song’s overall theme.

Slim uses a similar technique in one of the earlier skits on the album (“Tonya”), where he convinces a young girl that he is a good guy by giving her a lift while it is raining outside, then proceeds to duct tape her mouth shut and rape her.

By naming the “problem girl” in this situation Brenda, Em might be alluding to the 2Pac classic “Brenda’s Got a Baby”. The fact that he’s looking for a pregnant woman in the first 2 lines might indicate some relation to Pac’s Brenda.

He just ate hip hop entirely (meaning every single rapper in the game), and not only is he still hungry, but it was so easy and inconsequential for him that he doesn’t even realize that he did it; he is still waiting for his dinner (although it could also imply that hip hop was served as an appetizer, and that he is still waiting for the main course, maybe a worthier challenger?)
