Rise of the Phoenix

Lil Wayne is far from a dead afterthought that has to rise from the grave or something.

However, apparently Wayne's Nirvana addictions has given rise to what will now be his "Rebirth" as a Rocker.

I don't think he... rocks. He sings. But.. it's more like if T-Pain or Chris Brown was singing on a track with guitars.

That being said... lets being the review of this new material from my BHO (Time for a change) perspective.
First up... Prom Queen.




It's a legit track... then you hear Wayne scream out of nowhere and you remember... He is supposed to sing on this.

Then... you just breeze the first verse and you are like... acceptable?

The hook hits... and then it really hits you... this really isn't that good and you just really want this to work... YOU REALLY WANT THIS TO WORK!
But much like a dating that chick after having one more drink, you get to that point where you say that this looks like it's only going to get worse.

Sure enough... if you really love hearing singers hit the right note and had a hard time getting through 808s and Heartbreak... this is going to bring emo and goth come back in style... HARD

The second verse is just WAY... WAY to erratic. There is no sing along factor unless you are from the ages of 2-8. and then the bridge/chorus hits... and well...

the song is just too damn messy to be serious.
Wayne really can do better.

case in point.



I throughly enjoyed the style clash this time. Cause it doesn't seem like Wayne is out of place on this.. if you have caught as much as a whiff of Wayne singing before hand in the last year, this is right up your alley which helps you get comfortable.
The Lyrics are Way More like Wayne... (although the haters WILL point out to you if you decide to no homo this, that the opening line comes from Green Day.)

The Hook is lovely. the 808 switch up is lovely (musically) and he basically rap-sings the second verse... then back.. to the singing rinse repeat chorus.

Quite enjoyable.

and for the hell of it...

this is what the game is missin



End of Story.

This is wayne surgery/brain burglary line

*golf clap*

Flashing.. Lights

Today's image of the week.. brought to you by the man himself.. Kayne West

case Closed.

WTF?

This Charles Hamilton cat. Man... oh man... oh man...

At first... I was going to let it slide until it hit me.



Yeah... He reminds me, WAY too much of myself for my taste.

From the infatuation with Sonic... to his infatuation with pink... it looks like me from high school.

To me, at this moment right now, he has taken Lil Bow Wow's place in the "reason why I'm truly pissed I'm not mainstream yet, cause this fucker is doing me worse that I can do myself" category.

Now... again.. I didn't really care about the whole thing again until I started looking around and noticing that he is getting buzz based almost SOLELY on the fact that he does Sonic and other video game-mixes as beats and people are like... OMG!!?!? He's the future.

Now... again... he probably would be a person that if just happened to be in the industry at the same time, we could have form Voltron and a T-Wayne tip. BUT NO!

This whole thing is just a cheap ploy. All of his moves have been cheap ploys. "Different" but cheap.

I could see if this was based more on lyrical ability and he just happened to make a beat from StH. But NO!

I can't just let that kinda shit slide. Especially when you got two of my all favorite rappers in the game calling this guy the future.

How is he the future?
How?
So... now I have to show them that literally... I'm ahead of even what they call the future.

Charles Hamilton Diss

Just think of this as Round 1.

Aptly titled, (Past vs. Future [Charles Hamilton Fails])

It's no Nas vs. Jay-Z but... if you look at us closely... it could actually be a fight for the ages.... if he has the guts and/or the talent to face me.

Actually... I refer to this more in the sense of... Chamillionaire vs. Mike Jones.

Who?

Look What You Made Me

808s and Heartbreaks, to me, was a definite classic.

The problem that everyone seem to have is that... simply... Kayne is singing. And they don't like that.

I ask you this, if Picasso was to stop painting just one time to create a dope sculpture, would you hate on that? Or would appreciate the art as a standalone good deed from the visual sanity of humanity?

My case is this, so what Kayne didn't spit like he always does. But didn't he put words on a track? Was music not created? Where there no lyrics?

Where are the "I only care about the meaning and the lyrics" people at?

I really just don't understand it.

Now look at him




Now he doesn't even want the spotlight anymore.

My dude... Ye'... not wanting the SPOTLIGHT!?!?!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?

I thought Obama was President!

Yeah.

It has been a very long minute since I've put anything blog worthy up. But I guess I had to just wait until the moment was just right again.

PSA. I had to stop smoking *cough*cigsnotgreen*cough* so I was going thru a lot at the time. Fortunately I'm back and I plan on telling you just what the business really is lol.

I.e.

808s and Heartbreaks revisited.

Done for now.. so one for now.
