Talk:Mario Bros vs Wright Bros/Rap Meanings/@comment-69.91.238.138-20150318010158

"Although they had been raised in Ohio, the Wright Bros called North Carolina home." - Both of the Wright brothers spent most of their lives in Dayton, Ohio, and in fact designed and built their planes there. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina is where they conducted their early flight experiments and had their first successful powered flights.

The "Representing North Carolina" line and Rhett's accompanying gesture (taking off his shirt and spinning it above his head) is also a reference to Petey Pablo's rap song "Raise Up," which has the lyrics:

"This one's for North Carolina! C'mon and raise up Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo head Spin it like a helicopter"

This could possibly be another obscure Wright brothers reference. They were famously inspired by a rubber band-powered toy helicopter that their father gave them when they were children.
