How the Hard White video is a sequel to the Ganja Burns video

[ a Thread]
So in The Ganja Burns video she starts referring to her hiatus, and how she has let them ( her enemies) win an easy victory.
She talks about how she woke up, reassembled her army, and striked back at her enemies, and put an end to them.
Lyrical wise.
In the first verse she's talking about how people only get one life, how they tried to take her down, and how she doubled back.
I think the second verse is more important here for the connection between those two.
In the second verse
she talks about how people think they can replace her (and other legends) by doing nothing and just "imitation".
She's saying that you got to have real talent and skills to make it in the industry. But that's also the way you're going to stay relevant
Now moving to Hard white, the pictures from the first tweet just make it all clear where the visual similarities are at.
Lyrical: Hard white (used to be called half back) is about how you work hard and only get half of that energy, recognition, respect,... back.
In Hard white in general she's more talking about the richess, and how her money what she worked hard for translates into "partying in paris", etc.
First verse is more about that. (You can get into it yourself)
In the second verse of Hard White (Half Back), the attention is shifted a little more to where she's talking about the people copying her
(TB to GB :"You can't wear a Nicki wig and then be Nicki")
And about how she's not going to step down, and is still the baddest
Also she says "put my crown on again and Imma knock it off" which can be seen as a connection to GB where she has let her enemies have an easy win and then she defeated them.
So basically saying: try it AGAIN, and I will knock it off AGAIN. Saying she'll remain the Queen.
