This line is extremely relevant, as Stan’s death was ultimately because Eminem wasn’t responding to his letters for months.

Dear Mr. I’m-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans
This’ll be the last package I ever send your ass
It’s been six months and still no word, I don’t deserve it?


It’s possible that Matthew is picking up where Stan left off, and is now sending his own letters.

Has Eminem become his father? As a teen, Eminem wrote letters to his father Bruce, all of which, according to his mother, came back return to sender.

Marshall mentions this realization on the intro of
“Kill You”
, from the Marshall Mathers LP 1.

It’s also the topic of the song “Cleaning Out My Closet”, which further helped the break of communication Em had with his mother.

This may also have something about experiencing drug addictions himself. Em has mentioned that his mother was a drug addict, and maybe he now realizes that this was something that was harder than he realized before.

Nicki’s gonna kick some bitch ass ho. (most likely Lil Kim)

Punt means to kick.

This is your typical hashtag rap verse.

She probably also slipped in a homonym, without saying the other word. “And I’ll kick that ho (hole) punt” (As in shove her heels up a hoe’s cunt) Makes sense with the next line).

At the end of the second part of the hook you can hear Big Sean say “Yolo! Yolo”.

If you don’t know by know, YOLO means You Only Live Once. It has become so popular it has its own Wikipedia page:

YOLO is an acronym for “you only live once”. Similar to carpe diem or memento mori, it implies that one should enjoy life, even if that entails taking risks. The phrase and acronym are used in youth culture and music, and were popularized by the 2011 song “The Motto” by Canadian rapper Drake.

This is relevant, because we’re approaching the outro, where Big Sean disregards the people bad-mouthing him, so he’s telling them to fuck off, because Sean’s living his life whether you like it or not.

The theme of this entire song is that PAZ isn’t like other rappers who brag about having very expensive things like high-end cars or drinks, etc.

In the case of this line, he is referring to not having:

-Anything by Louis Vuitton, one of the most valuable luxury brands in recent times. They produce anything from leather purses, to shoes, to sunglasses.
- Anything by Michael Kors, another luxury fashion designer based in New York that has designed clothing for people like Michelle Obama.

Ace of Spades is a luxury champagne.

Two of Clubs, isn’t a champagne, but in this allegory it is. PAZ is comparing the two cards, ace of spades and a two of clubs. In many card games, the ace is the highest number and spades is the highest suit, while two is the lowest number and clubs is the lowest suit. This is a comparison of the best of the best with the worst of the worst. Essentially, PAZ is saying that he asked for an elite drink and instead he got a much crappier drink.
