Why do niggas gotta hate? Is it jealousy? Insecurity? Legitimate dislike? Whatever it is, it’s impossible to avoid it in entertainment, especially music. Kanye said it best:

There’ll always be haters, that’s the way it is
Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids

Luckily for Chance, even his haters are kinda glad he’s on.

Do you wonder why these Mets faces are blurred out? It’s not just a means of keeping the players anonymous, it’s also covering the fact that these are just actors. Well, except for Mr. Met, the mascot seen in the background.

A quadruple pun on Dominican Republic, Medical DR’s/The ER, her music and how “feverish” (sexy) she is.

The DR has a climate that mainly varies between 70° and 90° Fahrenheit, which is pretty hot when you consider that it’s that warm all year (including winter).

The vacationing spot is known for having intense heat waves and a lack of healthcare. In a tropical region when you’re on an island, you’re prone to get ill as a resident at a much greater risk when the temperature is very high.

She’s also referring to the show E.R. on the before line. ER WAS a classic, medical drama show involving surgeons and practical doctors. Their series was renowned for having dangerous, real-life scenarios.

They (abbreviated DR.) are were known to be an very attractive, “hot” cast. _________________________________________________
Taking all 4 of these into consideration:

  • Her artistry won’t “ice age” anytime soon and will stay hot as she keeps pumping out hit singles in clubs and radios.
  • Nicki delivers, not only musically, but in the “OBGYN section”, as she can make or break the career of many upcoming (fetal) rappers.
  • So, while people say the E.R. doctors are steamy, she looks better than them and the DR all by herself, COMBINED.
  • The E.R./DR references, therefore are “conjoined wordplay”. She’s rapping is so sick, she’s needs to be rushed to the “Emergency Room” for immediate treatment.

Kanye here is referencing Pharrell’s partnership with Louis Vuitton which created the “Millionaire” sunglasses

Interestingly, Pharrell has recently made another sunglasses deal with French company Moncler, so I guess they did like his LV design
