"Foreign" hip hop? Do you really know more about British stuff, Allmacto? I'm not hating, I'm just surprised!
Lil' Wayne's 'Go DJ' has been on my headphones a lot since July. Highly addictive Mannie Fresh production, instant classic chant chorus, great phrasing and intonation (just listen for the way he says "plastic" and "mustard"), some really memorable lines. Although one couplet is memorable for the wrong reasons - but it's not the bit where he goes:
"ey Big Mike, they better step they authority up
before they step to a sargeant's son
I got army guns..."
Anyway, the thing about Lil' Wayne, the main reason people are talking about him a lot, is that he is insanely productive - according to a recent Fader interview, he goes into the studio every single day - and a lot of his reputation comes from unofficial 'mixtape' albums. He's also apparently branching out from rapping and doing more singing stuff, although I've not heard much of that. As with anyone that prolific, other stuff I have heard isn't so hot - but he can definitely bring it when he wants to.
Plus, he has great tattoos on his eyelids. |
