might as well, right?
even tho the new single is just a remake of ross' "i'm not a star" i still think it's pretty good until wayne goes full grocery bag in the third verse

haha i thought you were just exaggerating about the beat being similar but yeah half the song is lines from "I'm Not A Star"...that's actually one of the 3 Ross songs ever that i really fuck with, though, so i think that's kinda dope, even if it seems totally arbitrary and bizarre for Wayne to do as a single.

i would've liked a hot boy reunion album like 4 years ago but if lil wayne is gonna grocery bag all over an album i'd prefer it to be something i didn't have an intrinsic stake in

"guerilla warfare" is pretty good, the others not so much unless you're a cash money fan. i would settle for a weezy/mannie/juve collabo, though the others are good in their own right. but yeah 6 foot 7 foot is one of his best recent releases, hope he continues in that direction

― banjee trillness (The Reverend), Monday, 4 April 2011 22:17 (2 years ago) Permalink
he's (obviously) still a far cry away from when he was GREAT but he seems to be rapping w/ more purpose & focus now -- that's a big vague but more specifically it seems like he's at least temporarily dropped a lot of his bad habits (i.e. laughing at his own jokes) (though not all i.e. grocery bagging, excessive "the earth is a girl" metaphors) -- also for the time being at least he's not doing gross 'pop' stuff like the i'm not a human being/young money stuff that immediately preceded his sentence -- seems like he wants to go back to street shit a bit & i dig that
― J0rdan S., Monday, 4 April 2011 22:18 (2 years ago) Permalink
"john", "look at me now" & "hustle hard (remix)"
I wouldn't have problems with him doing a pop joint or two if they were more "Lollipop" and less "Bedrock".
I would f/w "Look at Me Now" but fuck Chris Brown.
― banjee trillness (The Reverend), Monday, 4 April 2011 22:28 (2 years ago) Permalink
i'm kinda interested in the way he's now dropped 2 straight up rap singles (whereas w/ C3 he dropped "Lollipop" and "A Milli" simultaneously), i'm assuming he does have some shameless crossover single coming before the album drops but i have no idea whether it'll be a predictable R&B singer(or Drake)-assisted AutoTune extravaganza or something else entirely.
other than the "real G's move in silence like lasagna" slow burner I can't say he's done any rapping I care about at all post-prison, though, he has dropped some annoying tics but he's hardly back to pre-C3 level.
― Metal Jennifer Saunders (some dude), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 00:08 (2 years ago) Permalink
