    Block noteMakes the feud personal through family

    TargetRick Ross

    MeaningWhat it means: In “Your baby mama told me that you liked to get peed on,” The Game brings a relative or family boundary into the exchange with Rick Ross, moving the dispute beyond music and into private life. Why it was said: The song belongs to 50 Cent's dispute with Rick Ross and associated artists, which produced a series of records and online responses in 2009. Family references explain why the conflict feels personal: they raise the emotional cost for Rick Ross and make the line more consequential than a routine comparison of rap skill.

    My P.O. said, "This ain't the record that we agreed on"

    Block noteSays the target's identity is borrowed

    TargetRick Ross

Why it was said: The song belongs to 50 Cent's dispute with Rick Ross and associated artists, which produced a series of records and online responses in 2009.

Why it was said: The song belongs to 50 Cent's dispute with Rick Ross and associated artists, which produced a series of records and online responses in 2009.

    70

    Seizures off the lean, Balenciaga shorts got shit stains

    71

    He not a mastermind, he Gotti, line after line

    Laid back in the Maybach, makin' up shit just to pass the time

    Block noteTreats the target's persona as fabricated

    TargetRick Ross

    MeaningWhat it means: In “But in the meantime, I'ma let you fake fiends cop,” The Game says Rick Ross' public story or image is false rather than a reliable account of who the target is. Why it was said: The song belongs to 50 Cent's dispute with Rick Ross and associated artists, which produced a series of records and online responses in 2009. Once the persona is presented as invented, the boasts and accusations built on it become easier for listeners to dismiss.
