Can't believe I'm the first person to comment, this is a fantastic song, MF Doom really laid down a dope beat here. Anyways, here's my analysis, followed by a few questions I had. I really hope someone responds to this, I spent a lot of time typing this up.
The song is about a man named Alex who a real dangerous serious OG gangsta who's killed 10 people or so. He's really rich, made his money through selling clothes on the black market, but probably dealt racketeering and drugs and other shit. Alex he wants kill these guys who fucked him over about few years ago. Then Ghostface explains who it is Alex wants to kill and why.
Alex wrote the script for Ray, the movie about Ray Charles in which Jamie Foxx plays Ray. Alex meets Ray Charles who he respects and pitches the movie to him. Ray really likes it and wants to be a part of it.
Alex tries to raise the money to make the movie but he has trouble. He eventually meets up a very wealthy investor at a nice Chinese restaurant. The investor says he's willing to invest 20 million dollars into the movie as long as he has influence in how the film turns out. Alex realized the investor was drunk and wanted to make sure that the project could actually materialize, so he wanted more details about the money. Meanwhile, the food comes out and Alex has to use the bathroom really badly. Alex excuses himself, but when he comes back from the bathroom the investor is gone with the script that Alex wrote. Alex asks the waiter where the man ran off to, but he doesn't even understand him, so the investor gets off free and presumably gets credit for the movie along with the money from the successful film.
It's a great song that potentially could have a sequel that wold involve Alex actually attempting to take out the investor.
Here are my questions, what do the following references mean? Hardy boys shit, he got his stones from greece, what is the glass casket reference, what's special about one? Does Alex's sister have any signification? I didn't really understand why Ghost mentioned her. What does Ghost mean when he said Alex got 10 million dollars and then blew it on the indie market? Why did Alex mention the Gotti Gigante connection.
