The track also contains a subtle jab at Cash Money's golden boy Drake, who has found himself in a continuous one-sided beef with the G.O.O.D. On the first track the bar is set high for the rest of the disc as the Virginia rapper effortlessly flows over a Kanye West laced sample and soldier inspired snare drums. Opening his debut is the intro 'King Push' produced by Joaquin Pheonix. Always one to equate hip hop with drug dealing, Pusha's debut solo album My Name is My Name lets listeners know that even if you are not a customer of his product, you will know who he is by the final listen.

On the streets of Baltimore in HBO's critically acclaimed series The Wire, Marlo Stanfield is the new jack who is trying to make a name for himself amongst established drug dealers. 2" continue the trend of using the same cadence for an entire song, but that's what Kennedy has mastered, and is one of the reasons why even though he is still an independent artist he has been able to gain major exposure.
He's not the greatest lyricist, and sometimes he relinquishes substance in order to keep his trademarked repetitive flow in tact, but that is Dom KennedyWhile production varies, long time collaborators Drewbyrd and The Futuristiks, responsible for standouts "Dominic" and the DJ Quik tribute "If It Don't Make Sense" respectfully, handle a majority of the album's production.
It is obvious that subject matter is not Kennedy's strength, Dom's success comes from what he's learned to do best playing his role. Always an ode to South Central, Dom gives listeners a look into West Coast living, with topics ranging from the usual women, cars, and partying. Although just missing the summer deadline, Get Home Safely still has the warm weather vibe of previous projects.
