Been listening to a lot of
Watch the throne by Jay-Z and Kanye West.
Gotta say, a lot of thought went into this album.
And from time to time, I like to rep the "All Black Everything"
One instance was Grad dinner in 2010.
My outfit was quoting Will Smith
"Black suit, the black shades, the black shoes
Black tie with the black attitude
New style, black Raybans, I'm stunnin', man"
Just highlighting some quotes that appealled to me
and the meaning behind them
The hook for
Made In America highlights two influential men
(MLK and Malcolm X) and their wives along
Virgin Mary and Earthly father Joseph and how these components
help Kanye and Jay-Z reflect on how they "made it in America"
In
Niggas In Paris
"I'm liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6"
Jay-Z names the famous Michaels
but is also paying respect to Biggie
Game 6 was also Michael Jordan's
6th NBA Champ title with Chicago Bulls
In
Illest Motherf*cker Alive
"Unless you bad as Naomi Russell
I mean a lot of niggas got money
So basically, Russell ain’t the only Russell
Russell Brand, Russell Crowe
Zero Zero Zero Zero, a whole lot of 0’s"
Kanye does a shout out to Russell Crowe
since he came by their recording studio.
That's boys as!
In
Who Gon Stop Me
"Black cards, black cars, black on black, black broads
Whole lotta money in a black bag
Black strap: you know what that's for"
All Black everything!!
I also love Beyonce's hook in
Lift Off
Rap music as not always
about money and hoes
