Clever line from Big Boi here: M&M’s are candy,and calling someone candy soft is a meme rap insult. Not only are these critics on the internet candy, they’re nutless candy: twice the bitch.

Not only that, but there’s a certain white rapper named after the candy, so Big Boi is also pointing out these critics are typically white. But unlike the rapper, these “M&M’s” don’t come in a yellow bag.

An allusion to UGK’s song “Pocket Full of Stones”, where Bun B says the same line. Bun B is also on the song’s remix.

ACCEPTED COMMENT: This is a popular phrase. Apart from the UGK song, it was the hook of a song by Volume 10.
Young Bleed used a variation of it in “How Ya Do Dat”. And now, since this song was made, Problem re-used the line in his cover of “How Ya Do Dat”, “Like Whaaat.”

Notorious later referenced this song in “Kick in the Door”, which was a subliminal diss to Raekwon and Ghostface:

This goes out for those that choose to use
Disrespectful views on the King of NY
Fuck that, why try, throw bleach in your eye
Now ya brailling it, snatch that light shit, I’m scaling it

Frank Ocean is painting a picture for us:
He’s walking along the beach, as the sun sets. This is a calm, quiet environment where one can just think long and hard about things… at least for some people.

The palm trees could be referencing the source of the master track, “Hotel California” from the Eagles album of the same name. Palm trees are noticeably present on the album cover.

Palm trees also references marijuana. This couples with the consumption of sangria to intoxicate and relax Frank.
