Intro
Satchford: Clever lines in this track, Wayne showing that he still got it. Never been a slouch with the metaphors. It shows here
SwagGordon: yea a bit too many metaphors
SwagGordon: nothin but punchlines
Satchford: The production is what I’m not feeling that much. It’s cool but you know, Wayne usually have nice intros on his albums
SwagGordon: yea the production is kind of simple
Satchford: “I left the bullsh&t in the waiting room” HA!
Satchford: No real subject matter here.
SwagGordon: pretty much
SwagGordon: I wouldn’t “ping” this track on iTunes….not too impressive
Satchford: It’s an okay track for me, nothing special. I’ve heard better from him.
SwagGordon: same here

Blunt Blowin
Satchford: The vibe of this one is still growing on me but I’m starting to feel it
SwagGordon: I think it takes too long for this track to really start…..the buildup is unnecessary….then that bassline drop in
Satchford: Sounds fine to me
SwagGordon: “life is a choice, and death is a decision”…..idk about that Wayne
Satchford: to each his own huh
SwagGordon: “shoot that humming bird down, humming bird don’t hum”….now that sounds like some Wayne from Sqad Up 1
Satchford: True. I like how the vibe changes during the chorus. Lots of bounce.
SwagGordon: yea I agree!
SwagGordon: “blunt blowin, polo draws showing”….lol
SwagGordon: skate board rebel music
Satchford: That line will be stuck in my head for a while
SwagGordon: it definitely contains a lot of animosity
Satchford: Wayne don’t care, he just do him. I can respect that.
Satchford: This track will get some plays in the pod for sure.
SwagGordon: not so much from me tho

Megaman

Satchford: Although this beat is simple, it got a lot of bounce.
SwagGordon: yea a lot of energy
SwagGordon: “if life a b^%tch then mine a gold digger”…..a witty line
Satchford: Nice line
SwagGordon: “and I’m 100, a fast ball”…..lol
SwagGordon: “boy I’ll send them bloods at your ass, like a tampon”….omg lmfao
Satchford: lol
Satchford: “Rap game depending on me like a bungee cord”
SwagGordon: lol
Satchford: “Told the judge I couldn’t budge, it was him or me” damn
SwagGordon: yea right
SwagGordon: I wonder why this song is called Megaman?
Satchford: I guess he better than the average man
SwagGordon: LMAO
Satchford: The first 3 tracks have shown Wayne just spittin bars, metaphors after metaphors. That could be good or bad, depending on the listener
SwagGordon: yea you pretty much nailed it with that statement
Satchford: “I’m a diamond in the rough, like a baby in the trash” smh
SwagGordon: I feel that he bounces around too much but some people like that

Nightmares of the Bottom

SwagGordon: goodness I love this beat….the strings on this just are so easy going
Satchford: Yea, it’s a chill track. That snare pattern is tired.
SwagGordon: yea sound like Mannie Fresh on it huh
Satchford: “Searching for today instead I found tomorrow” I like that
SwagGordon: that’s pretty good
SwagGordon: “when the truth hurts…I take pain pills”…that’s a bit too far
Satchford: I like how Wayne shows that he’s still human even if he’s one of the hottest MCs in the game
Satchford: I like the honesty in that line
SwagGordon: I guess
Satchford: “I know my sh&t tight, so I aint screwing with it”
SwagGordon: ok ok
Satchford: “I bleed reality, I should cut myself”
Satchford: nice
SwagGordon: whoa that’s a bit drastic
SwagGordon: man I just love the vibe of this track
Satchford: Wayne delivers here lyrically, the subject matter is there. This is easy to listen to. The bass is deeeeeep
SwagGordon: I concur

She Will feat. Drake
Satchford: Intro too long?
SwagGordon: not really
SwagGordon: it’s builds up the track
Satchford: “I’m in Hell’s Kitchen with an apron and a hairnet” NICE
SwagGordon: “I tried to pay attention, but attention paid me”…..that line been in my head all day long
Satchford: I like the vibe here. It’s kinda hypnotizing, that sound. Smooth beat
SwagGordon: what about that Drake chorus?
Satchford: I’m feeling it. I think he did well here
SwagGordon: I agree
SwagGordon: “I like my girl face south and her a#$ north”…..hmmmm I agree
Satchford: lmao I don’t think any man would disagree.
SwagGordon: the structure of the song is bothering me tho
Satchford: why?
SwagGordon: the verse-chorus-verse-chorus…then like an awkward bridge where Wayne introduces Drake but he doesn’t rap he just puts down another chorus
Satchford: Hmmmm
Satchford is typing…
Satchford: The concept of the track is nothing new but the way Wayne and Drake did it is impressive. That chorus just brings it all together.

How To Hate feat. T-Pain
Satchford: I don’t know how I feel about that T-Pain verse
SwagGordon: me neither
Satchford: If the listener makes it to the Wayne verse, it’s pretty good
SwagGordon: yea something changes about the beat that makes Wayne’s verse sound different
Satchford: “When I went to jail, she fu**ed my ni&&as” smh dirty
SwagGordon: smh trife
SwagGordon: this song has a lot of substance
Satchford: If you ever had a girl do you wrong, this is the perfect song
“Forgive and forget b&&ch I already forgot”
SwagGordon: lol
SwagGordon: a very relevant song indeed
Satchford: “So much for being the perfect couple, I put in overtime, I was working doubles”

Interlude feat. Tech N9ne & Andre 3000
Satchford: Same beat as the Intro
Satchford: man I’m new to Tech N9ne but he ripped this
SwagGordon: I didn’t even recognize that it was the same beat but now that you brought it to my attention
Satchford: Tech rode this beat like a school bus. smh
SwagGordon: yea he came in on that Bone Crusher flow
Satchford: Unexpected verse from Andre 3000.
Satchford: chill out
Satchford: Does Andre 3000 sound a lil off beat to you?
SwagGordon: yes and I was expecting more out of him
SwagGordon: not everybody can rhyme over these types of beats
SwagGordon: usually Tech N9ne doesn’t rhyme over these beats either
SwagGordon: but he held it down
Satchford: Agreed. The lyrics are there but the flow to this beat needs a lil work.
Satchford: yes, Tech owned this
SwagGordon: that talking in the background of the beat at the beginning….I like that
Satchford: True

Satchford: Clever huh
Satchford: What you think of this chorus
SwagGordon: it’s decent
SwagGordon: nothing very impressive
SwagGordon: fits the song tho
SwagGordon: sounds more like Jamie Foxx than John Legend
Satchford: Yea I like it.

Satchford: Idk man
Satchford: This track is ok at best. Probably won’t get any plays from me
SwagGordon: a corny Lil John “AY” thrown in here and there
SwagGordon: this will be removed from my iPod asap

Satchford: chill
SwagGordon: don’t get me wrong…the song isn’t that bad…it just doesn’t belong up here
Satchford: I like the subject matter but the end product is ok. Don’t belong on an album. Mixtape ish

Satchford: True
Satchford: This is like 100% R&B
Satchford: agree?
SwagGordon: pretty much sums it up^
SwagGordon: I can’t bear anymore of this song
SwagGordon: next

President Carter

Satchford: This beat sound a lil like “Officer I Don’t Know” by 50 when it drop

SwagGordon: I can’t agree
Satchford: Those piano keys
SwagGordon: hmmm will have to check that out later

It’s Good feat. Drake & Jadakiss
Satchford: Who is this singing?

Satchford: “Drake Griffin” lmao
SwagGordon: smh
Satchford: too funny
Satchford: Jadakiss and Drake came with some decent verses, Wayne did his thing though.
SwagGordon: yea I felt like Jada didn’t feel comfortable on the beat
Satchford: Yea, beat was too slow for him

Outro feat. Bun B., Nas, & Busta Rhymes
Satchford: Same beat as the intro
Satchford: Bun B hardly ever drops a bad verse
Satchford: His flow is always there.
SwagGordon: yea he came in and held his own
SwagGordon: Nas spit some crack…off beat at times
Satchford: same issue as Jada had on the last track

Satchford: But I think Nas still came strong
SwagGordon: same here
SwagGordon: Shyne on the other hand…not so much
Satchford: “Your fate is sealed, no Heidi Klum”……Nas
Satchford: Idk why Shyne is on the track. smh
Satchford: BUSTA OWNS THIS. ……except that last line.
SwagGordon: “what the f&^k you ni&^as still hanging around here for, you old apostrophe b%$ch”….Busta Bust
Satchford: Wayne should’ve put Busta verse on the Interlude with Tech N9ne…would’ve blended better
SwagGordon: correct…..I felt that Busta started to lose it at the end of his verse tho
Satchford: I like it all except the last line
SwagGordon: hmmm interesting
Satchford: but that his opinion so it’s all good
SwagGordon: true

Conclusion
SwagGordon: This album surprised me, mainly because it wasn’t flooded with Young Money artists. I liked how Wayne stuck to his guns and the subject matter revolved around his personality and how he does things. This is an album full of metaphors, wit, and energetic beats. A couple of tracks really didn’t mix well with the album but Wayne made up for it in other spots. Cool & Dre definitely had a prominent presence during the album. Wayne is starting to gain me back as a fan after listening to this album. He chilled out on the yelling and made a cool album. Not too much suu woo-ing going on it’s just Wayne letting it all out. The music is very relevant. I recommend a download and a sync to your pod.
Overall Rating 7.5/10
Top 3 Fav Songs: Nightmares of the Bottom, Abortion, John

Satchford: This album didn’t exceed my expectations. It was pretty on point with what I expected. Lyrically, its the usual Wayne. Some nice verses throughout the album. A hand full of songs with just straight spittin, no real subject matter but he also has some interesting tracks like “Abortion” and others that have some type of meaning to it. That’s not a bad thing I don’t think. The bad part here for me is the production. It’s good but I don’t think it’s up to par with what I usually hear Wayne on. Out of all the Carters, this is probably the worse with the beats. I did like his use of the interlude and outro to let some MCs get some verses in, that was a pretty cool idea. Overall, I think this is a real solid album. Not the best Carter album but it’s worth a sync to the pod.
