...in conversation with the artist in all the interludes. 1. “The Cipher” 2. “Can’t Make It” After using a snippet of Michael laying down some beatboxing (from an Oprah interview) you have Rhymefest getting down to one where he talks of what this album is about as he does a dedication to all of the artists’ great works as he jumps on some of some throwback material from him to get down to some fresh rhymes to get things excited and to get all of the ...

Disadvantages: With so many songs comes a little filler.

...- Intro 2 - This Is My promo A short track which serves its purpose of introducing us to the mixtape and the artist, Sway shows off his lyrically skills, flipping between double time and normal rap flows. 7/10 3 - Coming Soon I'm not overly keen on the female sang chorus on this track but that's about the only thing I don't like, the beats are interesting to say the least, Sways raps are very comedic, love the bit when he impersonates Eminem ...
...The first time I heard this song was actually the first time I saw Sway live. It was a Dizzee Rascal concert, with support from Taz and Sway. I had literally only just discovered Sway a fortnight before the gig, and on the day had bought Taz's 'Cowboy Film' single for the remix with Sways verse on, but had no idea Sway would be at the gig. He may have had barely 30 minutes on stage but Sway blew me away and when he rapped Pepsi the whole place was ...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
