Isn't that precious. Weezy gave his boy Tyga a little spotlight just in time for the bossman to hit the clink. Oh, heyyyy, Nicki Minaj does her thing, so that's all that matter. Enjoy!
Rebirth might actually have some quality... err, ok maybe this ONE track... Here's the anticipated collaboration from Lil Wayne and Eminem. Mostly, we just want to hear more Marshall these days. Step aside Weezy, let the man have the mic.
Ok. We get it. Scared money, don't make no money. But let's be honest -- we're in a fuckin' recession! Isn't everyone's money scared!?! That's what I thought. But here's a new one from Young Jeezy featuring everyone's favorite alien Lil Wayne. These two must be playing with some sketchy funding. Wish a motherfucker would!
What happens when you put 12 best friends in a house to live together? Things get real -- real big dance party orgies, that is. Hosted by the Young Money crew, their new video for "Bedrock" is the YM version of the Jersey Shore. They drink, smoke, harass their roommates and at any given time, there's an unknown woman chillin in your bathtub. Enjoy this guilty pleasure.
Aight more from Lil Wayne. This one is a little odd... "Da Da Da" sounded like it had potential, until you hear Weezy use the phrase "funky monkey." Cool & Dre provided a cool beat and Lil Wayne forgot to go to town on it. Da, Da, Da, LE SIGH.
What in the eff, Lil Wayne? No idea what in the hell Weezy is saying on this one, but he took some time to rock out with the band Mayday. The session is awkward to watch, yet you can't peel your eyes away from Lil Wayne... Err, enjoy?
Cash Money's got Drake working overtime with all these video appearances and hook duties... Oh wait, this is for the fam. Birdman gets a little help from his friends...even Tyga gets a little face time.
It's gonna a few spins before this new one from Lil Wayne is deemed acceptable. "I invite her then I light her up..." I don't think Weezy was smoking enough when he thought this one up. Pass him another blunt, people!
Technically it's "new," but "Let It Bump Never Seen" sounds more like a mash-up. Pretty meh -- typical Wayne, too much Fabolous and not enough Eminem.
Straight from the Cash Money vault, Birdman's latest album Pricele$$ is everything you've already heard from the Lil Wayne music factory. Loads of money, ice gleaming off every visible body part, and of course, tons of spinning shiny rims on flashy rides, sounds like Weezy is cutting some chunky checks for Birdman -- that or he's really nice and the goodies are on loan. And not to worry, Drake gets his part on a few hooks to secure Young Money's financial success. But whose album is this anyways? The cover says Birdman, but Lil Wayne, Drake, T-Pain and even Kevin Rudolf make saving grace appearances drowning out all chirps from the Man.
Birdman admits it's always "Been About Money" which quickly fades right into the ever notorious spending habits of the Cash Money crew on "Money To Blow" and, oh wait, if you ever wanted to know the insider details on their business plan it's all revealed on "Money Machine."
Now that we've covered that, Bird goes on to rap about the things that really matter. From the streets to riding around with suicide doors, Birdman spits his hustle on "Priceless," but it's Weezy's flow over a rocking guitar that really saves the track. Birdman's southern style and twangs surprisingly compliments Wayne's autotune whine. Trip-rock track "I Want It All" featuring Lil Wayne and Kevin Rudolf sounds like Wayne is testing his rock side on Bird's album, and it actually works for the most part.
Sans all the paper chasin' tracks, Bird and Drake are BFFs when it comes to partying in style on "4 My Town (Play Ball)" and "Mo Milly." And what's a party without a banger or two -- the autotune king T-Pain gets it done on "Shinin." And Bird actually manages to shine on "Always Strapped," but not long enough to remember Pricele$$ as an affective album.
New video from the She Wolf and the Alien! Gotta say, Shakira always comes through with the moves and Weezy always brings the crazy... and creepy, seductive looks. Enjoy!
Jay Sean -- the British import who crashed the Billboard charts thanks to Lil Wayne and Cash Money. Well, his first American solo album, All Or Nothing, is finally here and if you were expecting big things from the newbie, then you won't be so impressed. (Sorry, Jay! ::Fist Pound:: You're still a fellow Brownie and we're proud of you.) That aside, All Or Nothing has a few radio gems, some attempts at crooning, and the rest of the album is typical R&B.
Tracks like "Down" and "Do You Remember" are obvious hits -- we've heard them on nonstop radio play and danced to them every weekend. And with the hope of keeping his name alive on the charts, "Love Like This" and "Fire" sound pretty much same, but lack the heavy bass to be a real dance song. Funny how "Fiiire, Fiiire, Fiiire" sounds ridiculously like "Down, Down, Down." Sounds like Jay's still struggling to find his range and to fill a full-length album. "Ride It" a song Jay's well-known for overseas made the track list -- just through it in, why not?
Jay's beatboxing abilities and rapper qualities are mostly disregarded on this album. It seems the Cash Money and Universal team felt safer letting Jay be a lover and not a fighter. He's wooing his lady on "If I Ain't Got You" with the classic "Hush, Little Baby" lullaby paving the base for his hook. Jay is a true crooner and his sweet love songs "All Or Nothing," "Love Like This," and "Lights Off" are cute and fun, but in many cases, Jay sounds like the lost 6th Backstreet Boy. He sounds decent on his own, but you've got to wonder what five more cute guys dancing and harmonizing with him would sound like.
He begs for better days with his lady on "Stay" because he'd rather not be "Stuck In The Middle." Love is a tough and addicting game, Jay, but don't worry one day you'll find love. But until then Jay knows love is going to be full of "War" and "Cry"ing. As a new artist, Jay best tracks are those where he keeps us dancing. The love fest is nice, but All Or Nothing is an album you listen to alone on a rainy day.
Also, let is be known, Jay Sean, with a team, wrote every track on his album, yet publishes under his stage name and not his government. Why? Ain't no shame in Kamaljit Singh Jhooti! That is all.
What happens when Lil Wayne can't perform his verse on Weezer's "Can't Stop Partying"? They get Chamillionaire to step in and finish the job...
Wayne not only smoked himself into oblivion while recording his new mixtape No Ceilings, he also broke all levels of comprehension. Weezy more than an alien, he's from another dimension -- maybe he's the Lyrical Terminator©. Favorite tracks: "Run This Town"; "I Got A Feeling"; "Wetter"; "Ice Cream Paint Job." COP YOURSELF A COPY HERE
Fuuuuck therapy, Fahget rehab... need to get your celebrity put back together, just call up Lil Wayne for a hook and Swizzy for a beat and you'll be aight. Chris Brown, who should fade into the backlight and finish cleaning up curbside litter, has on BANGIN' video with "I Can Transform Ya." (C.Breezy's MJ moves + Ninjas + mutating vehicles) X (Weezy +Swizzy) = A video better than BOTH (awful) Transformer movies. Chris can revive his music career with the help of some [expensive] friends, but transforming his life is whole 'nother story. Oh and hey, Tyrese, thanks for showing up at the end.
Some things just don't mix well, like this new track from Weezer featuring Lil Wayne. Just because Weezer and Weezy sounds kinda cool, doesn't mean they should have made a date in the recording studio. Maybe Wayne being locked up soon is a good thing, Hip-Hop can avoid non-classiss like this one.
Man just when my mother was warming up to rappers... Lil Wayne pleads guilty to gun possession and will probably hit the clink for a year. T.I.'s already chilling in a cell and more rappers are acting a fool and joining up. You know what the means? That means there's room on the airwaves for wack-ass rappers to spit their awful lyrics. As if it's not bad enough with Drake on every hook, Weezy had to go get locked up. Selfish much?! OK maybe it's a good thing... Hip-Hop can get some fresh air, but will it? Most rappers lack ambition and produce the same bullshit -- just leave it all to Jay and Ye to fix things. Siiiighhhh
WHAT? WHO? She proceeds to explain that during her weekly segment of AVS (Asian Variety Show -- hello, all Indian moms plan their cooking schedule around it), she heard about Jay Sean and Lil Wayne! "That Punjabi guy is very, very nice and cute!" I think Momma Shah has a crush... "That Wayne. He has too many tattoos, but he is a nice rapper. You can marry them." I'm sorry I think my hearing is off. What did she say?!?! I'm now "allowed" to hang out with only "nice" rappers: Jay Sean AND Lil Wayne. This is the best.news.ever.
Momma Shah is known for her monthly motherly warnings of men to stay away from. This month's offender: Rappers. (Man, is she gonna be mad when she finds out...) Her rapper rant goes something like this: "Beta, we are not interested in rappers. They're too dangerous and always getting women pregnant. And I don't like the bad language they use." It's only cute because she's older AND naive -- sometimes. So imagine my shock when she recently retracted her momma-knows-best warnings because she "likes that Wayne singer."
