Picture your side girl sitting courtside at a basketball game and your wife…also sitting courtside at the same game. Yikes
It is not uncommon in the NBA for players to have their wives sitting in one section, and the sidechicks to be sitting in the opposite section as broken down by Jalen Rose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXOiQbcjSd0
Could be a reference to Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian. As of late, Kris has been sitting on the bench while Kanye has been taking Kim with him to the game
Kanye sets up the line as if he’s going to talk about basketball, but the court is a reference to divorce court too. Swerve
maybe make a separate annotation for the sample clearing backstory? like at [Interlude: Holy Name]?
I’m not hearing the “In my mind” hook. Maybe listening to wrong version??
“Open sesame” is an extended metaphor for a sandwich, two lines ago he calls his wallet “Cheese and Lettuce” and so now he’s referring to a sesame seed bun, too
Em is the only one credited on the hook and it’s not a sample. Though, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
brilliant!
