Like most of Weezy’s output, “Drop the World” was legendary before it even came out. It’s the stand-out track on Rebirth, and not just because it’s one of the most verse-heavy cuts. Wayne’s ascent to the top began shortly after Eminem’s struggle with drug addiction got real. So when Em was back on the scene in 2009, people wondered when the two guy...
To his diehard fans, Lil Wayne’s ascent was defined by delays and leaks. In 2007 and 2008, you could get on DatPiff, SOHH, or wherever, and there’d be new Wayne music. The leaks got him a buzz like no one had ever had. Would we get full versions of the songs? Mixed and mastered versions? For most of these, the answer was no. Maybe the most famous i...
“Georgia… Bush” is unique among Lil Wayne’s catalog, but there are few songs like it in rap, period. It’s almost like one of those times a comedian gives an amazing performance in a dramatic role. The bars are scathing and the hook is a slam dunk. What more could you ask for? Dedication 2 was one of the mixtapes that propelled Wayne to new heights ...
It was never an official single, but “Nightmares of the Bottom” is one of the songs that made Tha Carter IV what it was. Wayne had spent the past few years cultivating this rockstar persona, and now, fresh out of Rikers, he was debuting a new song on an MTV Unplugged session. The rockstar thing was working out. “Nightmares” has a beat that makes it...
Halfway through Tha Carter V,it becomes clear that the wait was worth it. The album hits the ground running, wiping away any doubt after years of delay, but by the time you get to “Problems,” it’s evident that Wayne is still among the best. He reminds you that he can still kill a hook with his flow, and it’s so slick here that it’s easy to miss jus...
“I Miss My Dawgs” is a poignant song for many reasons. It’s Lil Wayne at a young age, honestly and candidly addressing his falling-out with former labelmates – and he’s still on the label. It was also an early sign of the power of Wayne’s elastic voice, which could bounce from a shrill croak to a brash rasp in an instant. On 2004’s Tha Carter, Wayn...
The opener of Wayne’s most monumental album is huge. Over a Maestro beat, he raps his ass off for three minutes straight. On Carter III, he’d do this while also going pop in the biggest ways, getting weird on songs like “Phone Home” and taking on personas in songs like “Dr. Carter.” “3 Peat” is so impressive that it basically gives Wayne permission...
Together, Wayne, Drake, and Birdman recorded a number of tracks, most of them certifiable hits that ended up on Birdman projects or Wayne mixtapes that didn’t get an official release. “Money To Blow” is most emblematic of the Birdman lifestyle that brought all these guys together. It also boasts a classic Drake hook from his early days and culminat...
One of Wayne’s first classic features comes from era that seemingly had no end. And it’s just a hook! Wayne was always good for a hook – it’s one of the more underrated aspects of his career, and certainly an unsung skill as a featured artist. A rapper so big appearing on a track with Fat Joe was another sign that hip-hop was rapidly changing throu...
“Back That Azz Up” is among one of the best Lil Wayne songs – and it’s not even his track. He only has a feature, and it’s an outro. While not an example of his best lyrics, the song has become a staple of every celebration in black America and an early signifier that Wayne would be a star. His presence alone speaks to his charisma, even though he ...
