In between bravado raps and reflecting on his own mortality (“I used to think rapping at 38 was ew/Until I turned 38 and I’m still rapping still”) he surprisingly expresses support for his once-rival Meek Mill, shouts out everyone from Kendrick Lamar to YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and waxes poetics on hip hop’s generation gap-slash-family feud.
