50 Cent also used the opportunity to not-so-subtly mock riding Combs’ lyrics about fed raids; recommendations not to get arrested, etc.: hence, the mockery of King’s bragging is also a powerful level of its excellence. After all, 50 puts not just rains but the severe implications behind the King’s words, implying that the lyrics are harmful more than they are empowering for the audience.
