one of them lines u aint gonna catch on to if u aint an O.G. HipHop head...

Nina Ross being the old slang word for a 9 millimeter.... and Nas using it as a metaphor like his gun is a girl leaning on him

then he says Lean on Me like Scoob and Scrap

Scoob and Scrap lover was Big Daddy Kane's back up dancers... known for the famous moves they would do at every show when they would "Lean" on Kane and dance wit him

1:30mark



and Big Daddy Kane had that song Lean On Me



and if you wanna reach... when Nas said "i pump sum Rick James wit dat Teena Marie" Pump is a slang word to blast music but Pump is also a slang word to sell drugs.. Nas could be saying he's slangin that Boy and White Girl ... Boy = slang for Heroin.... White Girl = slang for coke

And just consider that he found that in his dusty old Book of Rhymes. GOAT.

Maybe Nas' Book of Rhymes could get added to new versions of the Bible? :ld:

:laugh:

I think the heroin/tina line is a reach. :stopitslime:

But I'll admit, while this is one of my favorite Nas songs, I didn't catch the scoob and scrap reference on the strength that I took it at face value and thought the nikka was talking about scooby doo and scrappy doo, who do indeed lean on one another.

:sadcam:

:snoop:

Now THAT little tidbit is thread worthy, so :salute:
