This past week was notable, first and foremost, for tragedy.  The horrible crime of eleven years ago cast a pall over those effected that not even the dopest punchlines could begin to lift.  But that doesn’t mean nobody tried. Rah Digga gives a shout-out to Joan Jett, Weezy puns on a White Stripe, Mistah F.A.B. breaks down the Middle East, and Hov mentions some real-life gangsters while Raekwon name-drops an Internet one.  Below, the lines of the week:

5.  ”Love us or not, the Mark Zuckerbergs of the block/Hug your knot, staying rich, we was built for the guap” — Raekwon, ‘The Morning’ lyrics
Rae here sets up the Facebook founder as a rich boss, thus making the few remaining FB shareholders happy and justifying Zuckerberg’s entire life.

4.  ”It’s the Dream Team meets the Supreme Team/And all our eyes green” — Jay-Z, ‘Clique’ lyrics
Hov, as ever, operates on a level few mortals can reach.  While this line may appear simple, there’s a lot going on.  The Dream Team, of course, is the ’92 U.S. Olympic basketball team.  The Supreme Team was the notorious Queens-based drug gang of the 1980′s and 90′s.  But the green eyes here mean something more than jealousy, and more than having eyes the color of money. The Supreme Team’s leader, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, famously had green eyes, a fact which is certainly not lost on Jay, who likely remembers the group’s heyday.

3.  ”I ain’t your ordinary — I’m that ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb/Hate femcees, could give a f**k if we get along” — Rah Digga, ‘Janis Joplin’ lyrics
