Yeezy’s attempt at something like Chano’s “Prom Night.” Remember that last night of high school debauchery–the night when everyone sneaked flasks in their rented tuxedos and tried to get lucky?
Don’t tell me what?
Kanye did indeed get a new haircut for this record. He is contrasting his old College Dropout days with his new, edgier “Black Skinhead” style.

He’s feeling heeeella good, but it’s cloyingly artificial…
“Red or green pill, you live and you learn” as Hov once wrote. It’s also reminiscent of this line from Kendrick’s appearance on Drake’s Take Care track “Buried Alive Interlude,” with Kendrick envisioning fame as a paradise-like the matrix inside reality.
The contrast of red and blue pills in The Matrix could be evoking either the Bloods/Crips colors or the mars lights that Kendrick would have encountered daily in Compton.
He is also aware he’s in the matrix, so he knows reality is more than his ‘bitches, maserati and twenty-five lighters on my dresser’.

Quick on the trigger, but why would K.Dot care?
It’s totally understandable.

Stealing your heart like Niko Bellic, the protagonist of the legendary Rockstar-produced GTA IV, stole cars
Well, as I stare at those steely Eastern Bloc eyes, I can’t help but think that he can have my heart

Mitt Romney very well might be the most enigmatic candidate in one of the strangest elections in American history. The son of auto executive turned Michigan governor turned 1968 presidential aspirer George Romney, Romney graduated from BYU, Harvard Business, and Harvard Law before entering the management consulting biz with Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co., an enterprise he helped found
He made quite the little fortune, but never shied away from letting his political aspirations be known, and ran in 1994 against the immensely popular (and powerful–look at his name!) incumbent Ted Kennedy for one of Massachusetts' two Senate seats, but lost by 18 points. After a few more years at Bain, he was asked to run the floundering planning organization for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City; its subsequent turnaround under his direction has since been one of his favorite talking points

In 2002, he was elected as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts. Running on a pro-business, “moderate,” and “progressive” platform–in stark contrast with his current assertions as being a “severe conservative”–he eventually signed into law a near-universal healthcare bill (with a personal mandate), cut spending and raised taxes in attempts to balance an out-of-control budget, but flip-flopped multiple times on social issues like abortion
In 2007, Romney announced his candidacy for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination, citing his business record and history as a “political outsider” as strengths. Despite winning multiple contests in the January primaries, his waffling as governor proved to be too large of an issue, and he endorsed John McCain in February
After Barack Obama defeated McCain decisively, it became clear that Romney would be the presumptive front-runner for 2012, especially in a weak field (governors Mitch Daniels and Chris Christie, as well as McCain running mate Sarah Palin, all decided not to run). However, the pre-primary and primary cycles have seen Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum (twice), and Newt Gingrich all take the top position in multiple polls. As of late March, the field has been narrowed down to Romney and Santorum (though Gingrich has inexplicably declined to drop out), but the Stormin' Mormon seems to have carved out a clear path to the GOP nom by dominating the last few weeks of primaries
The question remains, though: will he remain a “severe conservative” in a general election, or will he pull an Etch-a-Sketch and move back towards the center as the nominee of a party so far right, it can’t see left?

Chris Webby is from the suburbs of Connecticut, which is something he is constantly repping. It provides an interesting contrast from the usual scene in rap (that is, a black/white rapper from the ghetto/country with a bad childhood), allowing him to delve into different subject matter than what hip-hop is used to.

Historical references for the win. Horace Greeley was a famed abolitionist and newspaper publisher in the mid-18th century, and this has got to be the first time he’s ever been mentioned in hip-hop
I mean, just look at that motherfucker!
