I've just been listening to Holy Grail and it sounds like a reference to the music industry again. Similar to Eminem's Not Afraid and 50 Cent's My Life. I could go on but basically:

The Magna Carta! If you don't know what that is look it up.
They mention things like 'Dirty Laundry' and 'Give It Up For Fame'.
The Tyson references about getting money then your life turns to ****.
Kurt Cobain and what he stood for, and the unfortunate way out.
Jay seems to be talking to himself as well, referring to old songs.
And, the Holy Grail. Immortality. Not as you may think, but, they are immortal.

Anyone else notice this?
