HAHA.
“Maybe this the album you listen to in your car When you driving home late at night Really questioning every god, religion, Kanye, bitches” Yup! Sounds about right. |

“In my Feelings” is the shittest ass song I’ve ever heard. Rather hear “Photograph” by Nickelback.

I tried hard with Lil Wayne. Some of the music's ok but I just can't stand his style of rapping. The number of artists he's influenced only makes it worse.

True, and true. But some of the mixtapes from his golden period are essential, as is The Carter III. Everything else is good at best. Even Carter II is not a must-have in my book, and certainly nothing since III. |

Just before this new style dropped I worked for a rap label and the genre did feel like it was in a bit of a rut at that time. I was mostly listening to stuff like Cage, RA the Rugged Man, Necro, Jedi Mind Tricks, the Eastern Conf. Records stuff, while Eminem was still probably the big name in the mainstream, maybe even 50 Cent, so I can see why Lil Wayne was seen as a breath of fresh air, and he obviously was, but something about it just never chimed with me.
Then, later, when I started hearing stuff like Lil Xan, Pump, Uzi Vert, I was just ... ![]() |

Hmm. I’m not sure I see the relationship between golden era Wayne and those artists, but I never worked for a rap label, so maybe I’m dumb. All I know is that for a few years, Lil Wayne tore up the mainstream, and released a series of mixtapes that are better than a lot of the albums you hear from the VERY short list of other rappers who have seen that level of success (like, 1-million-actual-albums-sold-in-a-week-week-level success... eg Kanye, Drake deepening on your definition of “albums sold,” and maybe 2pac and Biggie, can’t remember. Maybe Jay once or twice, without the assistance of companies buying 1 million “equivalent units” in streaming exclusivity to cheat the system). Anywho, I’m not a Wayne Stan (god I hate that word), but for a while he was pretty much king shit. |

I watched an interview with Lil Xan last night and I don't think I've ever felt so old.

No one of those new rappers are original. Lil Pump is a Gucci Mane clone, Lil Uzi Vert is a poor man's Lil Wayne, 6ix9ine took his style from Stitches..
Lil Xan is mainly known as the kid who got bullied for saying he doesn't enjoy 2Pac's music. |

What's the general thinking about 6ix9ine? I watched some of his interviews, etc, after the Xan one, and heard some tracks, too. I quite liked a couple of them but didn't know what to make of him personally. I mean, if it's all real I can't see him lasting out the year. |

Sequel albums are usually shit though.
If these are the unused tracks from the original draw-up of Yeezus, then I’m down. Always wanted to hear them. I don’t know what to make of this flurry of Kanye activity. He’s never made more than two albums in a 12-Month period, so partnof me is worried that quality will be sacrificed. As I’ve said countless times now, I want that motherfucker to make his “Abbey Road” and then possibly peace out from the emcee/banner artist game and focus on just producing. Unless there’s a ton of unexplored potential and another decade of weird, wild, wonderful shit bubbling in that brain of his. Hell, maybe this is his second renaissance. But that kind of thing usually doesn’t happen. Usually artists just stop being good before they quit. I still love Ye and Kids See Ghosts is freaking amazing, though. |

Lol. Kinda. Sometimes. Honestly I’m not a huge fan. Beats were usually pretty tepid and one-dimensional. Rhymes were decent, in terms of technical ability and sklll, but the older I get the less I care for his aggressive style. Sounds like a rapist. Oh, wait. He was a rapist. Dude raped a stripper. Yeah, not a huge fan, frankly. Always preferred Biggie, who was also a giant piece of fucking shit. |
