A reference to a rap group (The Bravehearts) he was associated with whose original members included:

Wiz, Horse and his younger brother Jungle. However, Wiz and Horse eventually left, leaving just Jungle and the newly added Nashawn (who also happens to be Nas' cousin).

It could also be saying that he has the heart of a lion, that he will never back down or fail.

The acronym for Album of the Year is a controversial subject that can and will result in flame wars.

The College Dropout, released in 2004, won ‘Best Rap Album’ at the 2005 Grammy Awards.

D12’s 2nd studio album.

Slow Your Roll didn’t make the cut though, it’s just a track featured on the special edtion of the album.

It’s no secret Talib Kweli is an independant artist. He controls everything, and makes the overall decisions regarding his music, and he’s working hard as well. Talib is not the kind of rapper to be a puppet of the industry, he will make what music he feels like, and write his own lyrics.

Fun Fact: Talib Kweli’s verse was the last piece recorded on College Dropout.

In an interview with Complex, Talib Kweli said that his verse was added to the track a whole bar after he intended it to on the final track:

Where my verse starts on ‘Get Em High’ is an entire bar after where I really started it at. He didn’t edit the rhyme. He just started it a bar late…Whoever flew it in when I sent it to him, flew it in wrong. So it mathematically was on beat, but it’s definitely not how I laid it. So I was very upset. I called Kanye and I was like, ‘Yo, this is crazy. How could you do this to me?'

Audemars is a manufacturer of Swiss watches.
They’re going to die (the clock is ticking).

The album ends with an 8-minute autobiographical monologue that follows the song, where Kanye tells the story of how he got involved in the music industry and got a record deal.

Redman, and Method Man have two albums together and they go back and forth in their songs just like Em and Dre do in this song.

And this ties in with Dre’s preceding line about protecting your neck, a reference to “Protect Ya Neck” by the Wu-Tang Clan (of which Method Man was a member).

Em has great respect for Redman, and he actually declares Redman to be the greatest emcee of all time on the very next track.

Might be a reference to Roc-A-Fella-Records. A record label founded by Jay Z, Biggs and Dame.

Or maybe he just wanna say that he makes Music for everyone, all genders together.
