Wale's most compelling track on the album is “The Pessimist,” where he scatters out troubling storylines made in America, one of those being the fate of the black man. “Tell the purist that laugh I don't reach out for daps/Cause ‘No Hands’ triple platinum.” Shots fired.
“Some love to see you blow, they don't want see you pop,” he raps over DJ Dahi’s booming backdrop. “The Helium Balloon” is a breakdown of the rapper’s bout with his volatile fanbase. The first half of the album starts out lyrically sharp as Wale tackles fickle fans and society’s ills, with Jerry’s metaphors and accompanying Seinfeld sound bites guiding the narrative.
