Loved that line and song ever since I first heard it.

That's why I could never understand why some cats said the album was weak lyrically.

cmon son, that line is pretty basic to anyone familiar with the song. yeah its a play on her name but it aint exactly super lupe lyrical in excecution. maybe if there was a double meaning to it but a name reference aint really the hardest thing to do. peep it, let me throw one at you

"its round midnight and im cooler than the Davis Station, im so miles ahead the competition be hatin"

on top of that, who the fukk sits around bumpin Strange Fruit on a holiday.gotta be a sad muthafukka to do that.

jus looked up the lyrics to that song

jesus christ

never even knew what strange fruit meant

have you never heard the song?. i mean, did you really have to look up the lyrics to understand it. its kinda spelled out in the song.

Nina Simone's version>>>>



but thanks for breaking down that line OP... never knew that's what he meant

hell nah. i love nina simone but billie's Strange Fruit was perfect. her voice was so haunting.

I also heard it as Jay basically saying if he wants to make it to a billi, he can't make social conscious controversial songs. AKA "I dumbed it down to double my dollars"
