I feel like this one was really oriented towards the fans of his. He gets really reflexive on this album and kind of plays on the egotism of hip hop itself by making this album almost entirely self referential. We hear beats from his other albums incorporated into the production, and Billy Wkods makes a stream of consciousness display of phrases and themes that he plays on in other songs. The title is brilliant and keeps with the theme of the album pretty well, because he almost takes a William S. Burroughs approach by taking slices of his former work and incorporating it into a new animal.

I love how much Woods' lyricism lends to analysis as well.
