Pootie Tang, the protagonist of the 2001 Louis C.K.-directed film of the same name, was a multi-national celebrity who got overwhelming attention, including for his over-the-top, bizarre outfits (including furs and chains much like those Cam enjoys).

Plays on birds are frequent in Cam'ron songs. Both here and elsewhere, “bird” can mean:

  1. His view from his Uzi gun scope (“bird’s-eye view”)
  2. A house in the hills (“bird’s-eye view”)
  3. Girls (like when British people say it)
  4. A kilo of coke (“flip birds” = sell drugs)
  5. The Diplomats aka the “bird gang” (Cam'ron’s posse’s symbol is a bejeweled eagle)
  6. A Ford Thunderbird automobile
  7. Flip birds could also mean giving the middle finger

A reference to Bill Cosby’s ads in the 1980’s for Jello Pudding (“Pudding” also means money)

Cam'ron also frequently likens cooking drugs to baking pies and cakes; he was bored just watching other people make money, so he got into the drug business.

This also ties into the earlier Brooklyn reference. Brooklyn is the main setting of The Cosby Show, where the Huxtable family resides in a two-story brownstone at 10 Stigwood Avenue.
