For Da Fam- Amil

"Y'all niggas truly ain't ready for this dynasty thing. You're thinking Blake Carrington. I'm thinking more like Ming"

First of all, Ty Fyffe really nailed it with this beat. This is one of my favorite tracks of all time, music wise. It is epic. The beat alone makes me want to go out and do good things for people.

The first meaning of the dynasty he is talking about is his Roc-A-Fella family. He often referred to himself and his constituents as "The Dynasty".

But this line specifically really shows just how well rounded Jay-Z is as an individual. Constantly bucking the idea of what people think someone from Marcy should be like, Jay illustrates his ability to observe, catch, retain, and recall stimuli from all areas of his life.

"You're thinking Blake Carrington" Blake Carrington was a fictional character from the show Dynasty. He was an oil tycoon, so although in the show he was powerful, ultimately his character was in a soap opera. In other words, your ideas of a dynasty are soft.

The Ming dynasty on the other hand, was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644. It is said to be "one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history".

So obviously, you and Jay-Z have two totally different ideas in your head when it comes to what a dynasty means and this will obviously lead to two different outcomes.
