* The samples of the menacing voice saying "Beware, I live!" (among other things) in the song "Grand Ol' Party Crash" are from the 1982 arcade game
Sinistar .
* This is the first Cage album ever that contains nomisogyny in the form of the word "bitch ". It is not said once.
* He seems to be done with his long lived feud withEminem as he does not mention it at all.Limited Edition
