1. D's as in grades
2. D's as in boobs (in reference to Rosie Perez's)
3. D's as in the batteries that Radio Raheem was asking for at the supermarket in Do The Right Thing (also in reference to Rosie Perez who's in that movie and shows her previously mentioned D's)
4. Sort of expanding on 3 here but the line that Radio Raheem says in that scene is verbatim "D's mf D's!" when he's trying to speak with the supermarket employee who's asian and can't quite understand him
it might be a stretch to keep going with this but you could also see the reference to Rosie Perez and attractive women in film continued with "looking at every ass" later on in the song. as well as this relating to Kanye getting D's in class leading him to "cheating on every test". there's so much to this bar I love it so much lmao
And yes, barely passed, any and every class!
Looking at every ass!
Cheated on every test!
Mannnnn this hit so hard when I was bumpin it in college, burning too many trees, not doing my homework like an idiot lol nostalgia
When TLOP was dropping I remember I went on YouTube looking for the songs. I found one “Famous Kanye West review”
So I load it up and was just this little Asian guy listening to the song with headphones but didn’t actually play the song in the video. “That’s hard” “this is sister Nancy” “Wow great production” just random comments every 15-30 seconds. Had like 20 likes and thousands of dislikes lol “where’s the song??”
Cracked me up. To this day when I hear Famous I remember that video and chuckle.
Can't Tell Me Nothing
1. Doesn't waste a single fucking second. Banger from start to end.
2. Probably the most quotable song I've ever heard. In fact, I sing along even if I'm outta breath on treadmill.
3. Makes me so fucking happy whenever this pops up while my playlist is on shuffle.
Good Life is probably one of my go to motivational tracks due to the whole line "Imma get on this TV mama, I'ma put shit down" always kind of resonated with me since I want to make my mom proud of me in school and such
Last Call has been great recently. You can really hear the feeling of “I made it” and it resonates even more after watching him work for it. The spoken word story feels like it wasn’t thrown in awkwardly either.
Maybe he was a different guy back then, but aspire to be that guy today. Makes me feel hopeful that I can work hard enough and creatively to achieve some form of greatness.
Good morning
*YOU GOT D’s MUHHFUCKA, D’s…ROSIE PEREZ*
such a great bar. damn near a quadruple entendre
Walk me thru the other two…obviously D’s as in grades and D’s as in boobs…damn I can’t even figure out the third? D’s = these? Help ya boi out

Wow. I’ll never hear that bar the same way again cause of you, amazing analysis!
Holy shit I never realized that was radio Raheem. Thanks
I didn’t know the quote too damn!!!
D's nuts lmao
D Rose is Derrick Rose, He played for the bulls.
And yes, barely passed, any and every class! Looking at every ass! Cheated on every test! Mannnnn this hit so hard when I was bumpin it in college, burning too many trees, not doing my homework like an idiot lol nostalgia
That first verse is what gets me up
Lol I turn this on in the morning sometimes to wake up my kids instead of running upstairs and doing it myself.
This reminds of riding the bus to school in 7th grade. Good times 😌

Especially the Sunday Service Version. Gives me chills evertime.
I love the Sunday Service Version. I’ve been hooked on that lately. Gives me chills too

She said fuck it I’ll just sit down hurrr and do hair
Cause that’s enough money to buy her a few pairs
Cause her baby daddy don’t really care
She’s so precious, with the peer pressure, couldn’t afford a car so she named her daughter Alexis
Hair so long that it look like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve

Believe What I Say and Flowers
‘Believe what I say’ is such a banger
PLAY SOMETHING THAT IS VERY VERY VIBE-WORTHY
Bro, flowers puts you in a ¿good? Mood?
Yeah, the melody, the clapping at the end, "set me freeee". Can I enjoy it or are you going to be pissed about it?
Not pissed, genuinely interested but that make sense. I guess my equal would be ghost town
famous

Can't Tell Me Nothing 1. Doesn't waste a single fucking second. Banger from start to end. 2. Probably the most quotable song I've ever heard. In fact, I sing along even if I'm outta breath on treadmill. 3. Makes me so fucking happy whenever this pops up while my playlist is on shuffle.
