Jackie Kennedy’s ignorance on the subject of JFK’s affairs, keep their marriage together.

This line has a double meaning. It implies both that Jackie married JFK for his family’s history. The second meaning refers to JFK being on the half dollar (half of one hundred cents = half a century).

His girl at home discovered his cheating, and hit him/insulted him. By calling him a pig:

  • She’s using a derogatory term used in reference to cops. Ipso facto, she calls G a pig like he’s a policeman fighting crime.

  • She’s calling him a misogynist. G represents a “pig” in this sense, as he is always getting with girls on tour.

Skizzy wants to have affairs and is simultaneously scared of commitment.

This girl likes him and is looking to lock things down but he feels the exact opposite and wants other, mainstream girls.

The final verse may be referring to the last talk with the person who committed suicide. The narrator could foresee that the road their friend was following was leading only to their death, so he grants them one final chance to change their life – an option they did not pick.

The other person tries to avoid talking about their problems by raising their voice and getting mad, because they cannot make the narrator understand they don’t want to speak about it.

Notice the wordplay between ‘raise’ and ‘lower’, underneath the solemnity of the intervention procession is an emotional rollercoaster.

Often times, friends and family leave those struggling with substance addiction with an ultimatum. This ultimatum may look like providing the teen with the choice to either stop all substance use in a certain amount of time or not seeing his friends and family again.

This verse could be interpreted as the teen convincing his friend or family member that he is trying his best and is improving at the center. However, his friends and family most likely hear this every time, are feeling exhausted, and are ready to give up. Many times, those battling substance addiction lose their social support which makes their fight even more challenging.

Research studies have shown the power of social support for those in recovery and the great benefits close relationships can provide. On the other hand, the lack of social support can negatively impact the recovery process. Three “factors of stability” are said to help those in recovery immensely. These factors include access to education or employment, a sufficient self esteem which is related to the stigma around substance addiction, and having close personal relationships (Trullson 2004).

I don’t think this song can just be pinpointed to only suicide. I think its subjective, depending on the listener. It could be drug addiction, alcoholism, OR suicide.

DJ Screw, the “chopped-and-screwed” genre’s namesake, has had a substantial influence on Houston hip-hop, even after his death from a codeine overdose in 2000.

“Throwed” is Houston slang for being drunk—Paul Wall famously touched on the subject in “I’m Throwed.”

This beat is from DJ Screw’s legendary June 27th freestyle, hence the name of the song and the shoutout to him in the intro. The current note isn’t wrong but this is maybe a bit more specific

The first track off Enema of the State, “Dumpweed” is a classic song about staying in a relationship because you’re too afraid of what will happen if you’re on your own without this person. In the TV show Pursuit of Tone, Tom explains how he wrote the riffs to this song.

Hailing from Cranston, RI, Mike Stud has been steadily rising in the industry. An unsuccessful comeback from Tommy John surgery lead the former Duke pitcher from a future in baseball to a career in music.

Stud released his debut mixtape, A Toast to Tommy, in 2011 after the success of his first viral single, “College Humor.”. TTT peaked at #2 and #3 of the iTunes US and Worldwide Hip-Hop charts, respectively.

Several collaborations and #SundayStudDay releases later, Stud released his debut album, Relief, on 5/13/13. It was highly successful right off the bat, reaching #1 on the Hip-Hop charts and #2 overall within a few hours of release. The sudden rise to fame landed Mike a feature in Billboard magazine.

Just over a year after the release of Relief, Stud released Closer, arguably his most successful and advanced project to date. The album’s titular track has been referred to by Mike as the most personal track he’s ever written.
