DOWNLOAD: Flying Lotus – Lil Wayne Remixes
If there are two people who should ever get into a studio together it would be Flying Lotus and Lil’ Wayne. Lotus’ remix of A Milli (aka Robo Tusslin) is a modern classic in my opinion, and his mixe of “I Feel Like Dying,” continue to bring Wayne’s lyrics [...]

Lil’ Wayne – She’s On Fire
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Wayne’s latest project, Rebirth is still mired in “will it drop/won’t it drop” speculation, however more tracks are leaking from that project, so the album may still see the light of day later this month. “She’s On Fire” chops up an 80s sample, yet [...]

Requiem for Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne – Wasted (freestyle)
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Most people know that I’m not the biggest Lil Wayne fan. I respect the man’s hustle, and I think he’s dropped more than a few quality rhymes here and there, but I hesitate to call him the greatest ever or the greatest of all time [...]

Top 7 Beats of 2008

Even though I cant’ stand this song, ‘Ye turned the phrase “beatmaker” on its end, and essentially pissed off every hip-hop producer I know. It’s a good thing, I promise.

I don’t understand Lil Wayne

I really could give a damn about “popular” music. Yes, there are great singles that drop every year, but for the most part, when you get around to the albums, maybe only 10-20% actually bring something new to the table.
