Gold Tooth of Wealth: Inverted. DJay has a gold tooth. It, along with the gold chain he wears with pride, are supposed to show that he's still small-time in comparison to the platinum-bedecked stars.

Big Damn Kiss: Shug plants a giant kiss on DJay to wish him luck before his meeting with Skinny Black. It's the first overtly romantic gesture between them.

Asshole Victim: Although the punishment might not have fit the crime, Skinny Black qualifies. DJay angrily confronts and beats Skinny Black when the latter shows no remorse for drunkenly tossing the former's mixtape in the toilet.

What the Hell, Hero?: Nola calls DJay out on the fact that he manipulates her to get the things he wants – specifically, asking her to service the music shop owner so that he could get a better deal on some microphones.
