f/16 refers to the camera lens aperture,specifically “Sunny 16” rule, used back in the day when cameras were all manual and didn’t have a light meter. On sunny clear days you set your shutter speed to your film iso and lens to f/16. You’ll usually get a decent exposure.

Have an account? first | How to add links/pics etc
"You, you hoes buggin' - repel that" (Nicki Minaj – Roman Holiday) | accepted

Lil Kim goes by “The Queen Bee” so any bug/repellant reference is about that. A similar line is “move back bugs” in Did it On Em.

"I’m a racist, I’m a bigot" (Nicki Minaj – Roman In Moscow) | rejected

EliteMitchie’s explanation is probably the biggest fail ever on rap genius.

"To look at you religiously" (Lauryn Hill – Nothing Even Matters) | rejected

He is singing this line.

"You're part of my identity" (Lauryn Hill – Nothing Even Matters) | pending

This line is sung by D'Angelo.

"Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Phill..." (Lauryn Hill – Doo Wop (That Thing)) | rejected

It could also be a play on words to say Philly “pen” as in penitentiary, where women are a lot of times incarcerated for their entanglements with corrupt men.

"OK, first things first I'll eat your brains" (Kanye West – Monster) | accepted

She’s going to take your knowledge, in this case about conquering the industry, as she declared in the previous line. The “you” could be Jay-Z or Kanye who are two of the biggest moguls in hip hop with the most knowledge to consume.

"But did I kill a Queen" (Diddy - Dirty Money – Hello, Good Morning (Remix)) | accepted

Also, this remix was released right after Alexander McQueen died. Which is awkward.

"People who told me I wasn't ready for you / But how the f..." (Nicki Minaj – Autobiography) | pending

It’s “But how the ____ would they know what I was ready to do”. She does not say the word fuck.

"But in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gott..." (Talib Kweli – Beautiful Struggle) | accepted

Fun fact: Honey doesn’t spoil — ever. They’ve found perfectly edible honey in ancient Egyptian tombs.

"Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki cause she's fake" (Kanye West – Monster) | rejected

There’s a stutter. It’s:

“Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki, she-she’s fake”
