Worst rapping voice since Kendrick's robo bullshit. Yeah i dunno... Acid Rap is ok so far. Smoke Again seems to be the best song. The extra verse from Chance that got truncated for the video released last week is p tight but Soulo still steals the whole show as he does on most features. Can't believe Childish Gambino made it on this motherfucker... smh.

Seriously though why cant MCs just rap in a normal voice. This gimmicky flourish is just fatiguing to listen to and borderline annoying.

I think chances mixtape is really good not as good as 10day but smoother. Smoke again, chain smoker and cocoa butter kisses are all great and definitely stuck out on the first listen. Seems a little shorter than I expected though because I've heard like 4 of the songs before the album dropped and there's only 13 tracks.

NaNa and the interlude are also great. Not too sure about the track with Gambino.

The album is absolutely incredible and it's probably my favorite album of the year so far. Rugged Man is the poo poo. His tribute to his dad (the album's namesake) is one of the best songs he's ever done.

Also listen to the Dangerous Three, might be my second favorite track on the album. Love those beat switches in the middle of the verses. Rugged Man, Masta Ace, and Brother Ali is just as good as you'd imagine it would be

This Chance album is ok. I'm not a huge fan but I'm gonna give it a few more listens over the next few days.

Right now I feel like the best parts are Ab and Action Bronson.

Count me in the "okay" camp for Chance too. It's not bad, but his voice is kind of annoying and only a few tracks are really memorable to me (mostly just Acid Rain, the intro, and Pusha Man). I think he has potential but his stuff isn't really doing it for me right now.

He sounds like someone imitating a baby voice or something. I thought :45 to :53 on Everybody's Something was the dumbest thing I'd heard until I got to NaNa, jesus. Bronson owns though.

I can't get into the new Chance tape. I don't mind his voice/flow too much, but nothing really stands out on my first listen.

'Lean all on the square / That's a fuckin' rhombus' is a cool line though.

J Cole dropped Truly Yours 2 - http://www.dreamvillain.net/trulyyours2/

Going to give it a listen in a bit.

Chance's voice loving sucks. The only track I like on there is Smoke Again. It is not just annoying, it is aggravating to an extent. Whoever produced the album did a good job though. If it is him producing, he should drop rapping and just do instrumentals.

I don't think he produces for himself. I agree the only song I'll probably listen to again off Acid Rap is Smoke Again. Sorry this tape pretty much sucks and is grating to listen to. I wanted to like it but he annoys the poo poo out of me... isn't he like 17-18 yo though? Maybe he will get better...

Also I'm giving the tape more time but as of now 10 Day just blows it away. I like a lot of the songs on here decently enough, but I think he's maybe trying a few too many things he's not quite capable of executing. I respect the creativity and w/e but on first impression it's just not as good as 10 Day.

I have actual skeletons in my closet
Lil Wayne apologized for the Emmett Till line
http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/lil-wayne-emmett-till-apology/

quote:

Dear Till Family:

As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.

It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.

Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.

I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.

Best,

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne

Listening to Smoke Again... I really don't mind the voice, but there's something off with his timing. It's a catchy tune though, even with those Triton-sounding horn stabs.

e: Did Kanye catch any flack when *he* referenced Emmett Till in Through the Wire?

his was less offensive and more of a reference than a punchline, although that's a good point - emmet till is kind of a sacred cow topic tho, if approached right it's not off limits, but it shouldn't be compared to "beating a pussy up" probably - i think making light of it is what pissed people off

also i just FB friended the dude who produced "cocoa butter kisses" :c00lbutt:
