love the album. took me a good 5 to 6 listens to fully grasp the content. Honestly, on my first listen I wasn't feelin it, but after a few more spins I began to vibe to it.

I don't fully understand the 'number' references. I get the 48 law reference, his age, and a few others but I feel like I'm missing something.

Started rapping in '88, started getting recognized in '92. Jay had been hustling before 88. Pretty sure there are pics of Jay w/ truck jewels around like '87 He started @%%*@@% w/ Jaz around 88. '92 was when his name started buzzing more ( '92-'94 Can I get open?, Show and Prove, In my lifetime, I can't get w/ that, etc)Originally Posted by Deuce King
Started in eighty-eight (he started hustling in 1988 for the first time), got warm in ninety-two (he started getting into the rap game in 1992)

At forty-two (his current age) be better than twenty-four (a double entendre: because of his age number being flipped and Kobe's number, the Kobe part will be discussed later in the rhyme)
I carried the four-five, (a .45 caliber pistol) mastered forty-eight laws (The 48 Laws of Power book, very insightful)
Still wearing my twenty-three's (Jordans) they can't $%%% with the boy
As far as them 16's (16's bars in a normal rap verse) I'm 23 (The Michael Jordan or rap, meaning the greatest of them all, also a play off of the 24 line from earlier) of it all
Prime time, ridin that six deuce (The '62 Maybach is the biggest and best Maybach you can get)
The nine-eleven (Ty Ty or Beyonce, I can't remember which one bought Jay a 911 Porsche Turbo a few years ago) I only subtract the roof
Started in eighty-eight (he started hustling in 1988 for the first time), got warm in ninety-two (he started getting into the rap game in 1992)
I landed in ninety-six (Reasonable Doubt his first album released in 1996), that's the year I came through
