Mannie was still chiefly in control behind the boards and Wayne’s focus was again on New Orleans street rap staples: cash, rap supremacy and his rivals. The first instalment of Tha Carter linked past and present. The hooks are killer: see Way of Life, which updates Junior Mafia’s classic Get Money. Perhaps feeling liberated, Wayne breathes more fire than before. The same team is assembled, but their presence is minimised, allowing Wayne’s tales from Chopper City more space, his braggadocio bristling with extra confidence.Īfter Cash Money’s first star, Juvenile, bailed out, Wayne asserted his allegiance to the label by calling his third album 500 Degreez – 100 hotter than Juve’s classic. Wayne’s second album offered a better showcase for his burgeoning talent than Tha Block Is Hot. His finest full-length in a decade, the 36-year-old’s music-making instincts and passion for rap reach levels we feared would never return. Wayne puts the frustrating delays and legal wrangles with Birdman in his rearview mirror with a personal, big-hearted record that combines modern sounds and thrilling early-00s pastiches. His froggy flow would smooth out, and quotable lines would become more cutting, but there’s plenty of no-nonsense street bars and plaintive musings from a kid who was already a father. The 17-year-old little Wayne’s ferocious debut encapsulated the Cash Money Records machine with Mannie Fresh’s rumble’n’bump beats and ample appearances from Weezy’s group Hot Boyz and Big Tymers. This is well made early-2010s hip-hop, but where is Wayne’s once uncontainable personality? 8. Rather than inviting guests into his universe, Weezy frequently attempts to slide into the sonic lane of guys such as Rick Ross and T-Pain.
Lil wayne best lyrical songs series#
Wayne’s Tha Carter series has produced some of his most seminal records so it’s disappointing to find the fourth instalment feeling so superfluous. Photograph: Erika Goldring/Getty Images 9. The only thing we know right now is that there are so many harebrained rhymes on this LP, that we had to make an entire list about it: The 40 Most Ridiculous Lyrics on Lil Wayne's I Am Not a Human Being II.Lil Wayne performing in New Orleans, August 2018. We'll see what this means for Wayne's legacy and all that rap nerd stuff in time. Obviously, the conversation will continue, as more people listen, and because the album has only been out for, like, 13 hours. Is this album fucking terrible and a case for why Weezy needs to retire? Or is it an incredible display of persistence, relevance, and possibly brilliance, after it sells a gazillion copies next week?
You can search "lil wayne new album" on Twitter and see that the streets are talking, that the world is feeling conflicted. There is, literally, line after line of mind-boggling, at times awe-inspiring audaciousness. In the span of a few songs, Tunechi compares his dick to President Obama, a pistol to mouthwash, and cunnilingus to ibuprofen. On Lil Wayne's latest release, his wordplay is as abject as ever. You're either going to think, "Wow, this new Wayne is trash," or "Damn, this kinda hot-Wayne is back." Wherever your allegiance may lie, you will find this dude's new batch of music wholly entertaining. Whether that's a good or bad thing is subjective, but there's no question that his rhymes are outrageous. You can also count on Lil Wayne to rap the most inane shit you've ever heard in your life. Still, Wayne is the type of artist who you can count on to paint even the darkest of material with a commercial-friendly, pop-ready sheen. The subject matter is of the usual variety: sex, drugs, and violence. As expected, I A m Not a Human Being II is a brash, no holds barred exhibition of Weezy's erratic thought process.
