Talkin About It
Tha Carter III
Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne is bringing a gun with him wherever he's going, just like the Nintendo Entertainment System came with a zapper gun to play the video game Duck Hunt.
Touch The Sky
Late Registration
Kanye West
He is reminiscing on days in his past when playing a song by Slick Rick would ignite a boring party.
Ups And Downs
The Rehab
Young Buck
This lyric was actually said by Lil Wayne who is featured on Young Buck's "Ups and Downs." Lil Wayne is referring to himself as "Obituary Wayne." saying he kills rappers. Young Buck and Lil Wayne are not beefing.
What You Know
King
T.I.
Leather guts is the interior of the car's apholstery is leather, and fish bowl refers to the windows having no tint, so you can see through the windows.
Mo Money Mo Problems
Life After Death
Notorious B.I.G.
as the other explanation puts it so eloquently, yes, he is on a yacht. however, this lyric also implies wealth (not having bills to pay or job responsibilities to be home for) and comes from a song written in a time when mobile phones were a luxury item
Right Now (Na Na Na)
Freedom
Akon
The only thing I see, the love of my life, the only woman I care about, the person dearest to my heart, etc. etc. etc.
Sittin' Sidewayz
The Peoples Champ
Paul Wall
Bugs Bunny probably eats a lot of carrots for lunch. But when I show my diamond grill (stylish mouthpiece), my front teeth have more carats (this is funny because carats are a unit of measure for diamonds and the word "carats" sounds just like "carrots")
How High (Remix)
How High (Soundtrack)
Method Man and Redman
dr. spock was a respected philosopher and doctor. he was smoking marijuana aka "buddha"
Shoop
Very Necessary
Salt-N-Pepa
while the previous explanation of incestual desires of royalty may have been well-intentioned, Salt and Pepa are most likely actually teasing us by referencing (and almost repeating) the chorus of Prince's controversial 1992 song "Sexy MF."
Nuthin' But A G Thang
The Chronic
Dr. Dre
Implying that he is as funky when he raps, in a good way, as the funky smell of an aged pot of boiled green onions, garlic and bacon fat.
the last person to add an explanation was bill - thanks!
