If you know me, you know that I have this thing for Lil' Wayne. Maybe it's the grill and the chains, or the tattoos on his eyelids, or the fact that he is totally batshit insane (listen to his mixtapes if you don't believe me). It's probably a combination of all of those things coupled with the fact that he is an amazingly talented rapper.
Recently I read a post on Idolator or Fader or one of those other annoying music websites that stated that Lil' Wayne is the premiere nerdy hipster hip-hop obsession, which kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I'd hate you all to think that I'm some bandwagon fan, when in reality I've been bumpin' Weezy since my sophomore year of college; Shine was pretty much my go-to party track in '02, and I'm still rocking it in '07. That's why I go to Vibe magazine for my fix (that way after I read an article I won't have to feel like I need to take a shower to wash off the pretentious hipster stank, you know?). And I know you're thinking "holy crap, 77 tracks in ten months?", but that's just how Lil' Wayne do. A few of my favorites from the list include:
Love the vocal sampling.
this one brings out Akon and T.I. as its heavy hitters and is quickly moving to the top of my favorite songs of 2007. Also, Weezy raps in a church! Neat.
Incredibly infectious beat, yeah?
anyways, just wanted to share my love of Lil' Wayne with you all. You know, in the non-ironic scenester sense. Enjoy!
