The line "giving ends to your friends and it felt stupendous" comes from the Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Big Poppa".
"How ya livin' Biggie Smallz? In mansion and Benz's, givin' ends to my friends and it feels stupendous Tremendous cream, get a dollar and a dream Still tote gats strapped with infrared beams"

I'm not that familiar with rap and hip hop, but my husband was listening to this song a few months ago. I heard this line and immediately said, "John Darnielle sang that in Fall of the Star High School Running Back!"

All Hail West Texas is my favorite mtn goats album, I think.
