...best M.C. on the planet, but like every other rapper, he has no subject other than his own glorification. Here he steps into the middle of fast-paced love songs to wink at real life: "Rumors you on the verge of a new merge/ Cause that rock on ya finger is like a tumor." It's an unwelcome distraction...

It gradually emerges, and we see it?s a small homunculus named Yamada (as in "Ya mada?s so ugly, she looks like a bloodsucker").
