He samples a 2009 speech from Barack Obama telling kids they canвЂ™t all aspire to be Lil Wayne or LeBron.

Though this album was supposed to be released while he was still at the top of rap, the delay has given him time to contemplate life and gather more material. He addresses fame on the piano-led and classic sounding вЂњFamousвЂќ featuring his first daughter Regina Carter, tackling the trappings of fame, but also praising the blessings it has brought him all along the way. Snoop's smooth voice carries the hook while Wayne brings the braggadocio with the bags in his bank account. If were looking for some face-scrunching, car-cruising West coast funk, the Snoop Dogg collaboration is your choice.

Wayne's verse is nearly three minutes long and then he hands things over to Kendrick who fires off lines in rapid succession, keeping the onslaught going for another two minutes. He gets his features to work in the way he wants, notably getting Nicki to sing on вЂњDark Side Of The Moon.вЂќ If you are looking for bars, вЂњMona LisaвЂќ is here for you. Many of the recent mixtapes have seemed lost, fillers, placeholders for this record to placate fans. He sticks to a singular vision that we havenвЂ™t seen from Weezy in a long time.

It moves from the more subdued and personal вЂњDonвЂ™t Cry,вЂќ to the upbeat and fun вЂњUproarвЂќ that brings back some of the classic Swizz Beats production, which the world needs more of. The album isnвЂ™t all bangers, as you can hear in the first couple of songs. The album starts with a teary intro from his mother, congratulating her son on putting together this album and finally having it out there to the world.
