The storyLines 1 to 2

Magnum Opus starts here, and the title says where it starts: a vertex is the highest point, the tip of the curve. The opening lines are about getting the room moving before he says anything else.

MusicLine 3

CeeLo Green

The Atlanta singer from Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley. The line turns his name around so the color comes first, and the green carries over to the Athletics, the baseball team that played across the bay from San Francisco in Oakland, in green and gold.

BrandLine 4

Dsquared2

The fashion label run out of Milan by Canadian twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten. He shrugs it off as everyday wear.

MusicLine 7

Genie in a Bottle

Christina Aguilera's 1999 debut single, whose hook is about being rubbed the right way. The rubbing comes first, then the genie.

AthleteLines 8 to 9

Magic Johnson

The Lakers great, his name split across the line. Magic follows the genie she wants, and Johnson is slang for what she grabs.

The storyLines 19 to 20

Right after skipping safe sex, he needs a plan, and the next line lands on B. Plan B is the morning-after pill.

BrandLines 21 to 22

Pilot G2

The gel pen from Japan's Pilot, known for how smoothly it writes. A poet's ink glides out of a G2, and the next line takes off as a G6.

MusicLines 22 to 23

Like a G6

Far East Movement's 2010 hit, named for a Gulfstream private jet. The G2 pen turns into the G6 jet right after a Jett2Fly ad-lib, and flight is the running image for his producer's name.

PersonLine 24

Emerson

A member of The Part Time Models, who's in the Put It On! video.

The storyLines 26 to 27

He treats the verse like pottery, fired until it's hard enough to last, then puts the song's name up in the sky like an ad. It's the album's opener announcing itself.

MusicLines 28 to 29

Rowdy Rebel

The Brooklyn artist from Bobby Shmurda's GS9 crew. His name is split across these two lines.

PlaceLine 33

Turks and Caicos Islands

The Caribbean islands southeast of the Bahamas, a getaway spot. The name also rhymes with closing a case.

MusicLine 34

Rihanna

The Barbados-born singer. The line names two of her albums back to back, from 2009 and 2011.

PlaceLine 34

Barbados

Rihanna's home island in the eastern Caribbean. He borrows her albums and her accent in one line.

Film and TVLines 45 to 46

Nicolas Cage

Nic is short for nicotine, so the actor's name turns into a vape he keeps hitting for days. Cage also played Ghost Rider, whose head is a skull on fire, and that's the flaming head in the next line.

ReferenceLine 51

Runtz

A popular weed strain named after Runts, the fruit candy. Poppin can mean doing well, and it's also what you do with candy.

MusicLine 68

Erykah Badu

The Dallas singer who led neo-soul with her 1997 album Baduizm. The line borrows the title of her first single, and she sets up the OutKast song that follows, which André 3000 wrote about their breakup and her mother.

MusicLines 70 to 71

Ms. Jackson

OutKast's 2000 hit, André 3000's apology to the mother of his ex, the singer named two lines earlier.

The storyLines 76 to 77

Three times the outro repeats the OutKast apology, and the last time he takes the apology back entirely. The album's first song ends on a smirk instead of a sorry.
