Song: F.U.T.W.
Lyric: This ain't grey sweat suits and white tube socks / This is black leather pants and a pair of Stance socks

The most surprising call-out on the album, Jay-Z references one of our best men's brands of 2013 so far. He even Instagrammed himself rocking a pair of the brand's Snapshot Socks with LeBron sneakers.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Fila sweats / '88 I rocked a mock neck - Nas

Nas gives love to some brands that were dope back in the day. Not that he stopped wearing them though. Remember the custom velour suit he made with Fila in 2008?

Song: FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt
Lyric: Reeboks on, I just do it, nigga - Rick Ross

It's ironic that Rick Ross would shout out the sneaker label that recently dropped him over controversial lyrics, but perhaps it's a veiled ether since he follows it up with Nike's trademark slogan.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Unlaced Adidas - Nas

Nas takes it back with a reference to the way Run DMC wore their shelltoe adidas: sans laces.

Song: Oceans
Lyric: Swoosh, now that's the sound of a baller

Jay gives a shout to Nike's iconic logo, and the NBA players who are endorsed by it—like LeBron James, whose signature kicks have found their way on the rapper's feet every now and then.

Song: F.U.T.W.
Lyric: Jordan 1s and dungarees

Song: Somewhereinamerica
Lyric: Retro act / I'm just bringing it back / Like Jordan Packs

Everyone knows Jay-Z's sneaker game is on point, from Banneds to Black Toes and Black and Royals, he's even been scolded by PETA for his custom kicks made from exotic animal skins.

Song: Part II (On The Run)
Lyric: Ray-Bans on, police in sight

Obviously Jay-Z needs something to block his own shine from blinding him.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Song Title

The song's title takes its name from Pharrell's Billionaire Boys Club label, of which Jay-Z is a partner.

Song: Somewhereinamerica
Lyric: This ain't no snap back / a nigga been trill

The Been Trill brand is more associated with Kanye West's camp since guys like Matthew Williams and Virgil Abloh work closely with West, but obviously they're also on Jay-Z's radar.

Song: BBC
Lyric: MCM seats buck 50 stitch

German luxury brand MCM is known for its prints, which it puts all over jackets, sneakers, and accessories like backpacks and purses. If Jay has the dough to spend on custom seats, more power to him.

Song: BBC
Lyric: To the Polo fleece to the bombers - Pharrell

"BBC" pays homage to dressinng like a drug dealer—guys who were often the pinnacle of style since they had tons of cash to spare. Polo fleece and bomber jackets weren't just dope, they kept guys warm while working the block.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Bally shoes, Gucci sneakers - Nas

Nas keeps the stroll down memory lane going with a reference to Bally shoes, which were popular in the '80s among rappers like Slick Rick.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Bally shoes, Gucci sneakers - Nas

Nas is a true sneakerhead, Gucci sneakers like the Tennis 84s are considered a grail item among collectors.

Song: Oceans
Lyric: Boat dock in front of Hermés picking cotton

Song: BBC
Lyric: Eiffel Tower, Hermés towel - Nas

Jay-Z and Nas reference the storied French brand. Jay has dropped serious dough at the store: around $350,000 during Christmas in 2010.

Song: BBC
Lyric: Versace plates / got the Basquiat collab from Versace's place

Song: BBC
Lyric: R.I.P. to Gianni - Pharrell

While not as catchy as Drake and Migos' hit song, it's clear that the Italian fashion label is still held in high regard by Jay-Z. He even attended a few of the design house's fashion shows, and has rubbed elbows with head of house Donatella Versace, the sister of late founder Gianni Versace. The Basquiat collab he mentions? Jay copped a painting from Gianni Versace's personal art collection.

Song: Picasso Baby
Lyric: Riccardo Tisci Givenchy clothes

This shout-out shouldn't surprise anyone. After all, Tisci kitted out Jay-Z and Kanye West in custom outfits for the Watch the Throne tour.

Song: Tom Ford
Lyric: I don't pop molly, I rock Tom Ford

Song: Tom Ford
Lyric: Tom Ford, Tom Ford, Tom Ford

In case you were keeping track, Jay-Z says "Tom Ford" 14 times in the duration of this song. One of the best menswear designers out right now, the rapper's been spotted rocking one of his suits at the premiere of The Great Gatsby.

Song: Picasso Baby
Lyric: I'm still the man to watch / Hublot On my left hand or not

Song: Nickels and Dimes
Lyric: It's my time now / Hublot homie

Kanye said it best: "He Instagram his watch like 'mad rich alert!'"

Song: Picasso Baby
Lyric: See me thrown at The Met / Vogue'ing on these niggas

What's one of the most luxe things in fashion? Attending The Met Gala in New York, which is pretty much an excuse for fashiom people and celebs to flaunt their shit. The cost of a ticket alone? Anywhere from $10,000-$15,000. Former Vogue Editor-in-Chief has been closely tied to the event, with magazine staffers involved in many aspects as well.
