1:55 "if I was a rich man" reference fits in so well with the flow, which directly references album art for If I Were A Rich ManIf I Were A Rich Man by John Williams form Fiddler on the Roof (1971) soundtrack...

So do so many other songs reference it too:
album art for Rich GirlRich Girl by Gwen Stephani, which she reworked from the original by Jamaican duo, Louchie Lou & Michie One.
Flo Milli samples it in album art for Roaring 20sRoaring 20s
a very punk take by The Toy Dolls in album art for The Coppers Copt Ken's Cash!The Coppers Copt Ken's Cash!
