On "Guwop", he features Migos and Young Scooter, who along with Young Thug himself owe their careers to Gucci Mane, who mentored them and featured them on his mixtapes back when they were just some random dudes from Atlanta (Guwop is one of his monikers).
"Future Swag" just sounds like Young Thug making a Future type song. It has his signature sound and he emulates his delivery.
"RiRi" samples Rihanna's Work.
I don't get the other track titles yet though, probably just a bunch of dudes he idolizes.

When I first heard "Kanye West" (the first track from Jeffery that I played, as I'm sure you can imagine) I was
sure I heard references to Ye, Chicago, etc. Then I checked the lyrics out, and I was like, "uuuhhhhh"... Because of course it's just slippery pussy this, slippery pussy that — the only possible 'Ye reference being in the "middle fingers up" line or whatever. And even with that, who knows?
From what I gather the whole "idol" thing is a bit tongue in cheek.
Hey, have you listened to Everybody Lookin yet?
