The Audacity of Dope

Lil’ Wayne’s WLotD month is wrapping up with this entry, so I thought I’d double up with a lyric for yesterday since I forgot to post one.  So here are two to end it officially:

“And when I smile, it look like a bag of coke/
I gets high, I’m twisted like a bag of ropes”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Whip Game Proper”

&

“I’m on top of my green like a lawn chair/
Don’t worry, I’m straight like arm hair/
Don’t worry, I’m straight like combed hair”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Never Get It”

I would say that I’d miss Wayne for these posts, but I’m sure he’ll be back soon enough.

(you were great in Ghost)

All-Wayne WLotD month is winding down, but we still have a few more days…and no shortage of material:

“That gun got me walking like I got irregular knees/
I be all over the bread like sesame seeds/
Automatic with the money, like Reggie for three/
Big Birds, no Sesame Street…b*tch!”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Weatherman”

“I be Diddy, you be Mase/
Eat me up, enjoy the taste”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Maneater (Remix)”

I’d really prefer not to even try to decipher this one.

“Give me the mic and I’ll rock like a f*cking fossil”
–Lil’ Wayne, “I’m Raw”

Best you could do?  Really?

“When you say you want beef, then I got ya boy/
I just let the Big Mac, Whop-a-boy/
See my dreads hangin’ like a, like a rasta boy/
F*ck with my rasta and I turn into Mufasa boy/
We run up in ya casa boy/
And blast off like NASA boy”
–Lil’ Wayne, “S On My Chest”

Aside from that horrible Whopper reference, the individual lines aren’t super wack.  Combine ’em in a verse however, and you’re in WLotD.

“Runnin’ this sh*t like I got four thighs”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Swagga Like Us”

Kanye has a very wack line on this track too, but we’ll save that for October after Wayne’s month of dominance is over.

Someone was confused why every WLotD lately has been one from Lil’ Wayne, so I’ll remind y’all.  Thanks to an epic Jeezy vs. Weezy showdown, Wayne’s prize was an entire month of wack lyric posts.  Once September is over, we’ll go back to spreading the wackness around.  Ice Cube and LL Cool J should be happy they dropped albums this month…

Today’s WLotD isn’t even a lyric.  It’s a quote from a XXL interview with Wayne:

“I don’t read a damn thing. That’s why I don’t write music. I’m too cool to be reading and writing…”
–Lil’ Wayne, XXL, October 2008

These are our heroes?

“I peel off in the Lamborgh-eeen, like a tangerine/
Got the engine straight shaking like a tambourine”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Upgrade U Freestyle”

“Goin’ at their heads like hair in a comb/
Sittin’ by the window, I just stare at the stone/
Know I might get through it, like hair in a comb”
–Lil’ Wayne, “I’m Me”

So nice, he had to say it twice, I suppose.

Two weeks through the all-Wayne WLotD and I’ll just say this: some rappers are very lucky this is Wayne’s month, because I’ve been hearing a lot of horrible lines lately.  Ice Cube, I’m looking at you.

“Yeah, I’m so bright, not shady/
My teeth and my ice so white like Shady”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Barry Bonds”

He really thought that was clever?
