King Tut was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who hoped to restore order in Egypt so they would be favored by the Gods. What made him so special though, was his sarcophagus which was made of solid gold.
Bib can make this analogy because he is decorated in all gold accessories and if anyone tries to rob him he’s got some tucked in firearm for defense. So for short, he’ll make it seem like nothing ever happened while still enjoying his all gold lifestyle.

Everyone has moments where you step back and wonder what you were thinking while the event was taking place.
Busta ensures us that this is no ordinary mistake as he was unaware of his actions and became extremely violent during this session. This could also be a reference to his music in how he becomes unaware of how severely he murders the mic while rapping.
It can be an interpretation of a catastrophic event

Explaining the title of his 1997 album Adrenaline Rush, Twista said:
My style was designed to pump listeners up, and when I went back and listened to the recorded songs, the only name that made sense was Adrenaline Rush.
Twista certainly has lived up to this previous quote as he and N9ne have been known for their ability to speed rap while also including their keen skills to make it even more impressive. Together, these two are practically unstoppable and should be handled as if a crisis is taking place.
In case you’ve been lied to and underestimate their collaborative power, Twista reminds us that he can annihilate any competition simply by spitting into the mic. This could also be a warning shot at all the fellow rapper he’s had beefs (Kanye West, Consequence, Bump J, ect.) with to stay away.

As previously mentioned, Castro works very hard in the rap game. Considering he is associated with the the Rattpack, Logic being part of this group, he has quite a lot of work to do before reaching the full popularity that he deserves.
However, all the effort he puts in does result in exhaustion, so on this one special night he is going to relax and spend it all by himself!

Castro is running the rap game until something prevents him from doing so just like pulling a hamstring would prevent you from doing, well, just about anything. This could also be Casto saying he raps hard but knows when it’s time to call it quits for the sake of his own crew.
Castro also adds some word play by specifically relating “running” with pulling “a hamstring” which causes muscle spasms in the upper thigh resulting from an activity involving running.

Magic Johnson is a retired professional basketball player who was a point guard for the LA Lakers. Johnson has won the NBA championships 5 times and has been the NBA finals MVP for 3, so it’s no doubt that Bronson would be comparing himself to someone of such high skill.
He also refers to how no one even wants to come near him because of how he’s killing the rap game and isn’t here to make friends. It also refers to the fact Magic is HIV positive, and NBA players initially did not want to play with him due to fear of obtaining the disease.
Also, notice that “Action Bronson” rhymes with “Magic Johnson.”

A basket case is someone who is on the verge of mental instability. Here, Sia uses clever wordplay to say her “basket case” is wrapped in cellophane and you can see right through it.
It’s pretty obvious she’s in pain and there’s hardly any way for her to hide it.

It seems N9ne has advanced a little past your basic warm-up vocals exercise.
Mediocre rappers in the game are what fuels Tech to destroy verses and make minimum mistakes, his minimum probably being zero. He does his best to stand out and be seen as a universal artist, as touched on with his song “This Is Hip-Hop”.
In fact, it becomes so much of a motive to him that he becomes a monster at the mic, creating a sort of musical massacre to his competition and to the listener when compared to other heard artists.
Tech N9ne is also sponsored by Monster Energy Drink
