I should cherish life but this just ain't paradise" what the fuck? That isn't fucking poetry of the highest regard but isn't this the guy who mainly raps about eating pussy? It makes you wonder what Lil Wayne could get across lyrically if he could muster up the energy to give a shit about getting a specific message out to his audience.īelieve it or not, despite the lackluster guitar riffs and autotuned-to-fuck vocals, I don't think this is fucking horrible, I think it's just generic (well, as generic as the concept of "rapper attempts rock" can be) and generally uninspired, and even more surprisingly, " Drop the World (feat. It's like I have it all, but what's it all worth? Ha ha, I'm probably better in my afterlife. Is Lil Wayne mentally stuck in high school or something? I love my share of pop-punk bands but NONE of them explicitly talk about high school the way that Lil Wayne does on this album, specifically high school romance, which makes you think that with all of the bitches this guy has had, there must have been one fucking KILLER girl he met in high school to still be reminiscing about her years later, but something that's actually pretty interesting on this album are the times that Lil Wayne talks about politics, how fucked the world is, and this specific part in " Paradice" that you'd swear were some Kendrick Lamar lyrics on paper: " Call me crazy, I've been called worse.

Well, wouldn't you look at that, the fact that I can only think of -maybe- Eminem being able to pull it off (not saying it'd be good, just saying that it'd at least be okay at its best) should say something about just how odd this really is.

Often held up as Lil Wayne's " Encore", this awkward as fuck attempt to branch out into rock isn't just bad, it's fucking stupid because you -know- he won't have that same crossover appeal to rock as rappers like Eminem and.
