Revelation 16:16 is the only place in the Bible where Armageddon is mentioned.
“And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon”

Basically, after the Rapture, there will be a lot of public devastation (heat waves, hunger, disease, etc), and Armageddon will be the final battle in which Jesus will come back and take his peeps with him back to Heaven.

The same shit that’s going on now was going on in 1995. One particular event was when the Egyptian Islamic Jihad attacked the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, because the embassy had gained knowledge of a Jihad movement within Pakistan.

The Jihad’s attack consisted of two cars, loaded with bombs. The first was used to open the gates, and the second one did most of the damage, as it was inside of the compound.

MC Escher (yeah, MC, such a dope name) was a Dutch artist who made this

The dude was normally known for his art depicting reflections and explorations of inifinity and impossible constructions. Below, a 1953 work called Relativity:

A typical (and disgusting) practice of concealing crack is to hide it in your butt. We’re pretty sure Joell just had it in his back pocket though (we hope…)

Here, Kanye is playing off Jay-Z’s hook by equating his music with cocaine. Going platinum = high sales = high demand. His music is crack that the fans (fiends) are eager to purchase and listen to (use) because of the high quality of music Kanye has consistently put out.

Ye’s confidence early in his career has been noted multiple times by multiple sources. In 2013, Jay Z told The Breakfast Club“:

When he first came in, he wasn’t the artist that he is today. But he always aspired to be, you know. From that moment, from the moment he walked through the door, when he was just a producer, not just a producer, when he was the producer, he had it in his eyes, he was saying stuff like “I am the saviour of Chicago”. I was like “what you even talking about? You ain’t even have a single!”. But, you know he proved to be prophetic in that way

“Bomb” is a term used to describe a person as being dope or on top of their game, about to metaphorically blow up.

In this instance, CyHi is probably touching on the fact that he’s self made – an IED (Improvised Explosive Devise) is a homemade bomb.

CyHi is known for referencing the Ivy League – in his 2012 mixtape and his movement in general.

The reference ties in by comparing the prestigious stature of the scholastic Ivy League to his music.
