Q’s signature ad-lib he uses to signal gunshots.
Although he’s been using it for quite some time, the ad-lib gained popularity after Q used it on his buddy Kendrick Lamar’s “m.A.A.d. city”.

Trap music is a subgenre of hip-hop which originated in the South during the early 2000s. This style of music’s was popularized by artists among the likes of Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, and T.I.. A great deal of the lyrical content in these songs contains drug-trafficking references.
Ab-Soul lets the listener know that he is not about that life, nor does he wish you to believe he is.

Kendrick was born in the year 1987. Here, he also gives a shout-out to his grandfather who is pictured on the far right in the standard good kid, m.A.A.d. city album cover.
Kendrick also mentioned him on one of the opening lines of “Swimming Pools”.
The Nine/ten bar equals to be 87 if you add it up
Earlier Kendrick says 9 and 10 9 times. Adding them together makes 87, his birth year, linking back to the theme of childhood. 10+9 makes 19, completing the date.
150
yo guys you dont have to repeat that that much we got it thanks
If you add up all the 9s and 10s earlier in the verse they add up to, you guessed it, 87. Pretty wild
when kendrick says nine and ten in his verse and you add them all up they add up 87 and in this line he says born in 87
Also when you count the ‘nines’ and ‘tens’ from earlier in the verse together it makes 87, which is also the year he was born as statet in this line
