Continuing the education theme from the previous line, Styles wants schools to teach the “3 R’s”: reading, writing and marksmanship (with guns made by German gunmaker Ruger, which rhymes with ruler, which is used in ‘rithmetic)

Taken together, this and the previous line form an image of Styles cooperating with the Cuban government to build himself an educated, elite Cuban commando paramilitary unit

A cannon is a gun.

And since he’s already got a 9 and a 45 in his hands, he’s pretty strapped.

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised about this then. Via Jayson Rodriguez for MTV, T.I. has:

  • A December 2001 arrest for gun possession

  • A November 2002 instance where he was carrying a 10mm pistol

  • A 2004 bust during which authorities found a silencer-enhanced weapon, loads of ammunition and photos of T.I. handling guns

T.I. is being ironic, he is not on a public service campaign to end urban violence (remember “Squash It[the violence])?, he’s on a mission to “bury the hate” by killing haters and burying them

In an unintended super ironic twist, T.I. eventually did embark on a campaign to help inner city youths overcome the violence in their lives. T.I.’s Road To Redemption was, however, essentially an elaborate ploy to reduce his very hefty sentence for a federal weapons conviction (he tried to buy handguns and silencers from federal agents)

The Apollo is a theater in Harlem famous for it’s amateur talent shows. Howard Sims, the original “Sandman”, danced bad performers off stage with the help of a hooked cane

In folklore, the Sandman (aka “Boogie Man”) puts people to sleep by sprinkling dust over their eyes. E.T.A. Hoffman’s Der Sandman was the first story to make the sandman character sinister. T.I. invokes the archetype because he puts “these niggas” to sleep, i.e. death

Thirdly, “Sandman” sounds like it could be a thug ass drug dealer name

Juelz constantly refers to himself as human crack. The metaphor recalls his origins as a crack baby. But it is mainly intended as a description of his lyrical ability / frenetic non-linear thought process that keeps listeners coming back for more (anyone who has smoked crack knows why its a good synonym for dopest)

Capo as in Captain (from the italian, adopted by non-italian gangs in the late 20th century). Juelz is referring to Jim Jones, who apparently has attained that rank

There’s no doubt that Jim Jones is the Fonz of Dipset
