nikkas in here acting like ennis cosby was some fixture in american culture
and fukk jay for referring to the dude by first name only like we supposed to know who he is
"every time somebody like ennis was mentioned"
who the fukk was mentioning ennis prior to him being killed please tell me
*carries on thinking ennis is a big time bed stuy drug dealer*
so "like ennis" is just another way of saying rich celebrity children?The keyword here is "LIKE", meaning anyone well off LIKE ennis.
You'd have a point if the lyric was "Anytime Ennis was mentioned".
Make critiques of lyrics without understanding them brehs.
lupe was ghost writing for jay back in 2000 when this dropped :wtfukk:Lupe did some good ghostwriting in dis.
its A LOT of shyt rappers rap about that i have no clue on what they are saying cause i never lived in the area they are rapping about or never heard about it before.That does not mean they are great.
Back in the days when Ice Cube said "...eating Soul food,Neck bones from M&Ms..." i always thought he ate M&Ms then ate some neck bones (its people that have no clue what a neck bone is! lol) I had no clue it was a soul food spot in Compton called M&Ms.
nikka said he would put 8 balls in corners without using pool sticks

The line is deeper than just a casual reference to Ennis but keep acting like its nothing and that you are smart. No one likes the good for nothing dumb people that have infested this board fronting like they are on some other level.Ok..
Let's just say my definition for "digging in lyrically" is different than yours...Because if the Ennis line is one of your examples of his depth then I just don't see it like that...Which is probably why I don't think he's as great as a lot of other people do..I realize my opinion is in the minority, so do with that what you wish...
No it was Bing CrosbyDamn... so does this mean jiggerman was talking about BILL Cosby when he said, "I want money like COSBY"
You forgot the soda/baking soda quadruple entendreOn "Do You Wanna Ride" this nikka said
Comin up though we thought slingin raw
Was the end all be all of bein rich didn't we
Little did I know my mo' potent delivery
Would deliver me, kingpin of the inkpen
Monster of the double entendre, Coke is still my sponsor (He had a deal with CocaCola at the time)
Heh, the Cola, yeah (Oh but don't worry white media I'm just talkin about the drink)
Hova still gettin it in with soda
Diet, no sir, I ain't lose no weight
Started from the crates now I'm sittin on a whole case (I love this line, crate of softdrinks, or diggin in the crates comin up, or as a metaphor for the stoop)
Since they got you sittin on that old case
Our dreams is on hold like Tivo
So I can't wait 'til you get your date
I got some temp plates outside of the gate
