“The beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard me on. The features that I’m going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it’s a very human album. What I mean by that is that it’s contradictory. On one song I say, ‘The saint is ours’, like we’re in the saint’s corner and then I have another song called ‘I’m Not A Saint’. It’s so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There’s no apologies in what I’m saying. I don’t mind that it contradicts itself because that’s what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it’s Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I’m telling stories that I’ve never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It’s super personal and I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder again. It’s always been there, but it’s getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain’t goin’ nowhere.” -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13
"Tech was literally dancing in his seat with excitement about the new album and some of the featured artists on it. He couldn’t say who they were, but he did explain that the album will be broken up into three distinct sections — Fire, Water and Earth.
Fire, Tech said, will have darker tracks, but the CD will finish with a heavenly theme in the Earth portion.
“I’ve got some heavenly ‘We Are The World’ shit on this album, swear to God,” Tech said.
As for Water, Tech said he hasn’t quite decided, but possible themes might be partying or confusion." -DailyWIldCat.com 3/29/13

Permalink Reply by JD on March 9, 2013 at 12:13pm Would love to see Tech do "something else" with the WWC2, give it a different style with:
Trae
Freddie Gibbs
Rittz
Wrek
Jarren Benton
Jon Connor
etc.
Permalink Reply by CHainedOwl on March 9, 2013 at 1:32pm I just don't see how Tech can make WWC2 bigger than WWC. But I'd rather him give it a shot instead of potentially replacing it in the tracklist with a party/sex song.

I somewhat agree, but give JL at least 8 bars, turn him loose on this one. 4 bars wasnt enough...but hes already on S.E on another track for now, maybe WWC2
Alex M said:I think he shuold swap out everybody. Bring in all new collabs.
Ludacris for Twista
MGK for Busta Rhymes
Rittz for Yelawolf
Wrekonize for JL B.Hood
Snow Tha Product for D.Loc
Bizzy Bone for Twisted Insane
Daddy Yankee for U$O
*foreign rapper* for Ceza
Chained Owl said:I'm looking forward to hearing WWC2, but I've been a constituent for the anti-WWC2 party. In the back of my mind I think...
1) Will Twista and Busta Rhymes be on it?
---> I think they have to be. How can you have any big choppers track now without two of the best choppers ever? A successful sequel requires a fundamental contrast from the original (except for The Hangover series, evidently). But they take up most of the song, i.e. not too much change. Who do you replace those two guys with to produce a better song than WWC? If you live in a world where pigs fly and Detox/Amafrican Psycho are in stores, then one answer for star power is Luda and Em. In THIS world, the answer is no one. You gotta keep them in the series to maintain quality even though it won't be as big a wow! factor as it was with WWC.
2) I really hope the beat can top WWC's
---> I don't know if it will for me personally. Beginning where MWC2 left off, the small rock element, and the rhythm made for a perfect sound.
3) I hope Wrekonize is on it
---> I'd love him to have 16 bars. You could say his name's too small for that big of a slot in such a song, and that's valid. But he'd kill it. See "Higher Freestyle" (Wrek and ¡MAYDAY! enthusiasts can give more examples).
4) How will the structure of the song compare to WWC?
---> For me, WWC was perfect in structure. Give 2 bars to the international guys, 2-4 for the underground guys, 16 to the popular ones. It barely allows the "worldwide" tag, but I don't care. I hope Tech ends up following a similar model for WWC2. Combining Snow (meh) and Daddy Yankee (!) for 8 could be tight.
5) I really didn't like MWC and MWC2, but WWC was perfect. The fuck?
---> I can't accurately judge much based on a sample size of three, but I've got nothing else. The data shows I'm hit and miss with chopper tracks. The odds say I won't like it. I think the suspense and following the progress of WWC2 will be more entertaining than the actual song. I'm not getting my hopes up on this track. But, as I said with "Colorado," I'll be happy to be wrong.

Permalink Reply by Jake Garrity on March 9, 2013 at 2:26pm Since he can't top WWC in my opinion, I know someone has brought up strangeland choppers (rittz, wrek, jl, kali, irv, tech) or maybe "underground choppers" with snow and a bunch of others would be a better route
Permalink Reply by Jake Garrity on March 9, 2013 at 2:27pm Although I would love Alex M's idea if he could get them all on it
Permalink Reply by JD on March 9, 2013 at 2:45pm Definitely true, I think they can hang though, just to give it a different feel. Much like Krizz on the first one

Permalink Reply by ₡₱♛ on March 9, 2013 at 2:52pm Imo Tech should only make WWC2 if he can top the names on the first one... which would be hard to do.

Permalink Reply by G.K.paypa$tak$ on March 9, 2013 at 3:09pm I think its gonna sound like MWC2 did compared to the first one, that being said if he gets together with everybody hes looking for, and makes another solid song, its possible he can top WWC
Rittz
Bonethugs (even tho they broke up, any of em would be a cool addition)
Wrek
Z-ro would be dope
Trea tha truth
Jarren might be worth a 15 sec spot, hes good, just not that good imo
I wanna hear Kaliko on a chopper song again, he merked MWC
It'd still be dope to see Busta, Twitsta and Yelawolf back on it, if they can find a way of not making the same song
Horseshoe gang
J.L.
D-loc, Dalima
Its possible Ces could hop on it
K dean killed MWC2
I mean, there are some possibilities that the second one could top the first one
