Olskoolcompany - "Nicole's on the line"

Firstly, is that what he's even saying? It sounds like it. And if so, is that a reference to Nicole Sherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls whom he was rumored to be dating around a year or two ago ? "No baby you can't get in, and neither can your man" -- her new boyfriend? He then goes on to say something about the Honey Collective, who if you remember was some weird shit he made up recently where all the women are celibate and he's their mascot, etc... I recall Bria being one of the women in that little group...

Am I just high?

I believe he is saying "Nat Cole is on the line" as in Natalie Cole. He worked on an album for her years ago that never came out due to "contractual problems" I think. I don't know why she could not come in though.

That's what I thought he said too. I figured he wouldn't let her into the party because of her former cocaine usage.

the next line

"you see we got this global distribution thing goin'on. i'm just a bad
mammajamma (sp?) y'all can't understand"


which is very funny since the album was only available in 1 store in
the us and as imports everywhere else.

hardly what you'd call "global distribution".

I agree. I think it's Cora since he's referencing his past/current drummers.

My take is that he says:

"I gotta pocket fulla..I gotta pocket fulla plenty good times.
And Nicole's on the line
I bet u can't get in, lawd
And neither can your man
See we got this global distribution thing going on
Up in this bad mamajama
Y'all can't understand
Hit it

I don't know who Prince is talking about in the song although Natalie Cole is currently doing well in the hospital at this time after a kidney transplant...She has been advised not to do a summer tour and wait until next year...My prayers are with her. cool

i always thought he said "i got clothes on the line",,,remember ol skool company is reminiscent of how he grew up and the music he listen to...that's what he said on the Tavis Smiley Show. I've listen to it several times and the first 2 words are "I got".

I thought the line was "U can't come in, neither can your band" as a reference 2 Nicole Sherzinger and the Pussycat Dolls, respectively?

confuse

Brevity is underappreciated.

well sounds like mine was the most realistic sounding one - case closed, it's about Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls.
