“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
“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.
Been a little busy, so I missed Monday’s WLotD, my apologies. If it makes up for it, I listened to LL’s new album and heard about 22938129382 wack lines. Some of those will come next month, but for now, it’s still all Wayne:
“I go by the name Carter/
I got more plaques than tartar”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Easy“
Wow. Horrifyingly wack.
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?
“All the b*tches love me, I need a thick guard/
And if she don’t give head, she’s a nimrod”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Do What We Do”
All Wayne WLotD month seems like it’s going to fly by. Let’s stick with The Drought 3 from yesterday:
“Money controls where I go, it is the sail to my boat/
And it’s goin’ down, it’s goin’ down, like there’s a whale in the boat”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Live From The 504”
smh.
I was thinking about skipping today’s WLotD, but Wayne just makes it too easy.
“Ba-rum-pum-pum pum/
And I’m so young, but I’m a giant like fe-fi-fo-fum”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Back On My Grizzly”
As the Ying Yang Twins have repeatedly proven, anytime you drop some nursery rhyme ish, it’s wack.
Ending the first week of the all-Wayne WLotD month:
“Tell that beef I’m Burger King, I represent that Saints sign/
I’m so high, I could paint signs”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Let Us Pray”
He abuses those “I’m so high…” punchlines like crazy.
