“illlllllllll“
Criminally underrated producer Exile is dropping his new album Radio in January and he’s been shooting some of these ill promo videos leading up to the release. In this edition, he chops up Lil’ Wayne and some Hiero to show you what true mpc mastery looks like. Weezy never sounded so good.
Shout to the homey Jon Kim for sending this through.
As I mentioned in the last post, Glasses Malone and Mistah F.A.B., came through Sound Session this past week while in town for a concert. We didn’t get to knock out one of our traditional “Inside the Actor’s Studio”-style interviews, where we could really go in depth, but it was fun regardless. We talked a little about Glasses’ upcoming Beach Cruiser album, his background, how he got his name, and why F.A.B. enjoys keeping his fingernails finely manicured hahaha. Check it out:

Hahahahahahahah.
Bobby Ray just ethered half the industry with this one, Wayne especially. I’m sure he’ll have to be PC and downplay any controversy as just jokes, but remember: [Ms. Fischer] behind every joke is a little bit of truth [3rd grade teacher]. Glad someone dope in the industry isn’t afraid to say it…
Look out for B.o.B., Playboy Tre, and B-Rich on Sound Session soon.

WLotD was gone for a few days, but as usual, Wayne brings it back.
“stop a n***a like a comma”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Stand Up”
So…momentarily?
WLotD is back after a little vacation, and who better to re-launch it with than the G.W.R.O.A.T., Lil’ Wayne himself?
“I never loved a b*tch, I only loved the moments/
Sh*t, I’m all about the Bills like Thurman Thomas”
–Lil’ Wayne, “I Can’t Feel My Face”
In terms of the meaning and simile, that’s fine. However…”moments” and “Thomas”? You’d have to be like Wayne in that picture to think those two remotely rhyme.
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.
