Dirt off your shoulder
 
What exactly does Jay-Z mean when he says this:

Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir


The wrestling reference. Whatsupwitdat?

Xero 12-03-2005 03:21 PM

Stretch may have something to do with a submission.... :-\

Destor 12-03-2005 09:14 PM

Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir

Maybe he says Cobra and not coca. Cause then it would be the Cobra Stretch. No clue, tbh.

Corkscrewed 12-03-2005 09:43 PM

Cobra Clutch you mean? Although the hold streches... something...

Destor 12-03-2005 09:59 PM

There is a move called the cobra stretch. Similar to the Abdominal stretch.

Stretching refers to certain submission holds. It's not a common used phrase... I think in WCW they used it in reference to Saturn a lot.

What Would Kevin Do? 12-05-2005 04:33 AM

To clarify certain submissions, it's for holds like Abdominal stretch, Rings of Saturn, I believe certain arm bars, Octopus hold, etc. It doesn't refer to moves like sleepers, key locks, etc, as far as I know.

This is why I don't really listen to rap.

-cept Kanye West

KAnye West hates white people.

Stickman 12-05-2005 01:02 PM

He said it because rap lyrics usually don't mean anything. It's usually just random words thrown together hoping to find a rhyme. Hence, rap sucks.

What Would Kevin Do? 12-05-2005 03:19 PM

But it does make sense?

RP 12-05-2005 05:18 PM

i'm pretty sure he's referencing Jake The Snake whipping up a line one a mirror and snorting it.

Optimistic T 12-06-2005 12:22 AM

Translated...

What he means is he's in the kitchen with baking soda, turning his coca(ine) into crack cocaine by mixing it with (baking) soda (as well as water). Thus he is stretching it out by diluting it ("like a wrestler" is just a metaphor to compare it to wrestlers who stretch out to make their opponents submit as mentioned).

As for the middle line, he's just saying that he made enough crack to afford himself a watch, no he wants to make enough to get himself a Range Rover.

Jay-Z mentions in a lot of raps about how he sold crack.

p.s. you're all morons
