then again, believe me has some clunkers too (act like we find some oil - i hate that line, it's totally forced and not that clever IMO), but most of it is fire. michael jordan, noreaga, stumbling up the porch - and prob the best line of all: the nina/overslept shit. one of his best lines in a long ass time!
d'usse is not an album track tho. y'all wanna know what d'usse is? it's an olive branch. i posted this theory before but no one agreed with me. basically, the unspoken deal is "i name my freestyle single after your song to help you sell your product, and in turn you feature on the final carter album to help me sell MY product" i guarantee C5 has jay z on it... and you'll know exactly why. heard it here first.
