"damn right I kiss my daddy" vs "feed me feed me feed me .. no homo"

When he says "Miss caramel, I need three scoops" in that Mya song I want to punch things.

― Belisarius, Thursday, 10 May 2007 10:00 (eighteen years ago)

It's a new game and I'm the coach like Avery
Leave it to the flow we're gettin' dough like the bakery
I don't really want to but these niggas makin' me
Put a motherfucker on ice like the Maple Leaves
That's a hockey team and I ain't know no hockey team
But I'm a champion, where's the fuckin' Rocky theme?
Damn, rest in peace Apollo Creed

― Hatch, Thursday, 10 May 2007 12:18 (eighteen years ago)

does he really say "leaves" instead of "Leafs"? inquiring minds wanna know

― J0hn D., Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

Damn, rest in peace Apollo Creed

Classic.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 10 May 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

Definitely sounds like "Leaves" to me, but I'm thinking "flow" might actually be "floor," it's hard to say.

So many classic verses on this one...

And when I was five
My favorite movie was the Gremlins
Ain't got shit to do with this
But I just tought that I should mention
You're looking for divine
And a little intervention
And the birds don't fly
Without my permission
I'm probly in the sky
Flyin' with the fishes
Or maybe in the ocean
Swimmin' with the pigeons
See my world is different
Like Duane Wayne
And if you want trouble
Bitch, I want the same thang

― Hatch, Thursday, 10 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

amazing but probably a cry for help

whats the proper tracklisting? because ive seen at least two alternate listings around

― splates, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:14 (eighteen years ago)

his rapping over Upgrade U is great

― splates, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:16 (eighteen years ago)

i wuz abt t' rewrite current wayne in a verse-off of lyrical titans bt no1's releasing competition i can see + i'm lazy

i was impressed w a ton of moments here, bt mainly the intro t' 1 of the disks. wasn't impressed w/the blooded up song or when forever juelz talked before making some really rational remarks. dipset is higher strung, ratcheted up in the vein of tru life. mb i'm jst mad cuz bloods were fucking w me on the bus the other day, wearing their signs or some gay shit-- red stars like a retard . . .

az 4 wayne, his lyrics r hellafied poetic, esp recently

every1 ws talking abt this like 2 mos ago

all i think of when i hear this was how much more heartfelt and less weird bad azz vol 2 was-- wayne can get into veins of gold and i like his self-doubt and lack of narcissism while holding that skill, bt there's something that just doesn't hold, like tantric sex vs taking viagra and exctasy-- he's sort of stuck in the middle. fuck my jabbering though, i aught relisten, chop a highlite reel instead a typing this ponderous bullshit

― Chromski A.K. Gattlington, Monday, 14 May 2007 05:34 (eighteen years ago)

but I'm thinking "flow" might actually be "floor," it's hard to say. this is ironic

the multiplicity of the #/meaning/image is what he survives on, and that only occurs with prismic heart sometimes, i think-- he keeps it sublime enough i guess- bt i'm jagkn, all i really care abt is whoever c-murder releases & the next 50 cent

and i wish the fish pigeon thing were +2 Poetic

o that reminds me i did a remix of R U Still Down ftrng Too Poetic, and it's better than anything wayne's ever done except that song like way i am off lights out

― Chromski A.K. Gattlington, Monday, 14 May 2007 06:01 (eighteen years ago)

can't take him seriously any more, but can't take him for 'fun' either

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

Oh shit, people are liking him JUMP!!!

― filthy dylan, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

no he just sounds silly! i can list artists 'people' (meaning what, ilmers? hipsters? cuz wayne was selling platinum records in the 90s) like that i do too if you want

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:36 (eighteen years ago)

i don't hate this stuff or anything, i just feel silly listening to it. like it's patting itself on the back and winking at you every time he says a word

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:38 (eighteen years ago)

So who are you liking these days Deej?

― curmudgeon, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

lately all i've been listening to is dj quik and big mike. The big mike album from last year was great and i don't know how it got missed by everybody (i just discovered it via emusic).

But I still like Lil Wayne's first audience-crossover period stuff circa the Carter and as far as the Carter II. It just feels like he's gone over the edge or something. He's not making songs any more, I guess, its like reading madlibs or something - he's clever and i can see why this very formalist rapping appeals but lately i've found i enjoy that stuff as a seemingly unintentional byproduct, not so in-your-face if that makes any sense - what are his songs about any more?

SDJ came harder than 99.9% of rappers out there today.

― The Macallan 18 Year, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

Beloved crooner SAMMY DAVIS JR. attempted suicide on his wedding night because racial jibes drove him mad, according to a new biography. The MR. BOJANGLES singer's former personal assistant ARTHUR SILBER JR. has revealed the cabaret star's personal pain in a new memoir, SAMMY DAVIS JR. ME AND MY SHADOW. Silber claims the song-and-dance man was distraught at having to end his secret romance with actress KIM NOVAK after mobsters, who disapproved of the interracial match, threatened to kill him. Sammy then wed dancer LORAY WHITE in a marriage of convenience, but drank too much at the ceremony and wailed, "Why can't I be with the woman I love?" Silber recalls, "Sammy was putting a gun to his head. I jumped on top of him and pinned his arms as I wrestled the gun out of his hand. It was loaded. "I twisted his arm and the gun fell to the floor."

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

haha stylus mentioned madlibs too, but they meant it as a compliment i think

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

he's basically just turning into the dirty south kool keith. i guess how you view that is up to you.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:55 (eighteen years ago)

maybe i would like lil wayne if he had a glass eye

the only rapper that should be compared to SDJ is bushwick bill

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

i keep one eye open like

a) CBS
b) Bushwick Bill
c) Sammy Davis Jr.

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

Unrelated to this thread a little, were both the Cash Money Crew and the No Limit crew both from New Orleans? Because I remember them both getting big around the same time, but I don't remember any interaction between the two at all.

― filthy dylan, Monday, 14 May 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

cocaine blunts and hip hop tapes, no articles-- journalists never got in it deep as far as i can tell. anecdotes-- scant interviews (read murder dog), nothing really in depth or life-story style. that nerd white dude off the mtv2 dirty states of america or whatever it's called??

who would you talk to to get a retrospective survey to map the subliminals after 93??? who could convince klc to let you hear his archives, let you know what was happening? talk to turk in prison? i'm sure there aren't many subjects, journalists who could unearth the tides of the drug war and the mercurial power tied to the music at the border. ethan brown sort of did it 4 nyc. historians r 2 slow.

i'm not that vigilant! i felt better after i finally decided i only ever really needed to listen to critical beatdown, the four horseman, and dr. octagon as far as keith stuff goes...but i dunno, the stuff i've been hearing wayne do lately kinda reminds me of keith (not totally but in a way)..just the off the top of the head nonsense type flow.

i like keith overall, except i'm still pissed about the time i saw him live.

― am0n, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)

It seems to me like Wayne uses internal rhyme a lot more than Keith does, but maybe I'm not listening hard enough in Keith's stuff.

Sargent, Jordan
Song: "Black Republicans"
Line: "Niggas can't deny how svelte my car went / Or they take it in they face like Sargent"
Meaning: This reference to gay pornographic actor Jordan Sargent is one of the most unexpected lines on the entire mixtape.

― and what, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:29 (eighteen years ago)

Bodyguard, The
Song: "Swizzy"
Line: "I just be chillin' in the Phantom/Listenin' to opera/Gun is my bodyguard/Call it Kevin Costner"
Meaning: 1992 film starring Kevin Costner as a bodyguard to a pop star portrayed by Whitney Houston. Possible coincidentally, the movie is sold as a two-pack with another film, The Phantom of the Opera. If Wayne constructed the line this way on purpose he really is the Martian he claims he is. Unreal.

― s1ocki, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:33 (eighteen years ago)

Pop-Tarts
Song: "Boom"
Line: "They know I keep that toaster/You can be my Pop Tart"
Meaning: Besides sports, food is clearly Wayne's forte. Here, he uses this toastable breakfast snack as a come on just after comparing his gun to a toaster.

― deej, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:34 (eighteen years ago)

Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data. The term was coined in 1958 by Klaus Conrad, who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness".

― and what, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:35 (eighteen years ago)

Martin
Song: "Get High Rule the World"/"Dough Is What I Got"
Line: "An extravagent crib/I'm on the toilet watchin' Martin just laughin' and shit" … "I'm "What's Up?" like Martin"
Meaning: see Brown, Cole. This must be Wayne's favorite show.

― deej, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:36 (eighteen years ago)

this just underlines how much wayne overuses cam-style 'xxx xxx xxx / yeah i get my xxx on' punchlines

'we eat so many shrimp, yeah i get my blog on'

― and what, Monday, 7 January 2008 06:38 (eighteen years ago)

Skittles
Song: "I'm Blooded"
Line: "Skittles on my wrist/Yeah nigga the bright pack"
Meaning: A brightly colored candy similar to Wayne's jewelry.

The "dear Mr. toilet" line is great. By anthropomorphizing the toilet and addressing him in epistolary form, Wayne has leveled the playing field between porcelain and people who write annual top ten lists on their rap blogs. But while polite and formal, his boast is so audacious as to tell Mr. Toilet that he (Wayne) is as hot and disgusting as fecal matter, the thing which defines his (Mr. Toilet's) existence.

Gushers
Song: "Walk It Out"
Line: "Explode in a bitch mouth like a Gusher"
Meaning: A fairly disgusting and graphic sexual reference to this delicious candy snack.

Wayne has a new sports blog for ESPN.com:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3607474

Also, an entertaining new interview:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3606141

It's all funny stuff. One good bit:

Would you ever write an at-bat song for a player if he asked?
Of course. Hell, yes, I would. I'd do it right now.

Off the top of your head, what would you write for Prince Fielder?
When I make music I gather all my thoughts…hmm. It probably go something like: Coming up to the plate young Prince/ swinging for the fence. Something like that, but it'd be better 'cause I'd work real hard on it.
