Lil Wayne's World

Unfortunately Lil Wayne is now in jail probably trying to figure out what to do as a sober person who basically can just not go outside. However, before Lil went into jail he made sure that he made several music videos and songs to help hold us over while he is away. Lil Wayne basically appears in everyones songs anyway and is in way too many videos already so a break from him would be nice, but then again, who am I kidding he is most glorious.

Another one of Lil Waynes accomplishments has been to introduce us to the young hip hop stars that he has signed to his personal label. From what I have seen and heard there is quite a bit of decent talent among these young apprentices. The biggest of these stars in my eyes is Nicki Minaj. I immediately took a liking to her mostly because I thoroughly enjoy the sound of a female rapper, but upon closer appraisal, I have realized her true talent. I only hope that she is able to have more staying power than any other female rapper in the past. There has really never been a female rapper, other than Missy Elliot, to stick around for more than a few years. I believe that Minaj has the ability to beat this out due to her unique sound and lyrical style.

Lil has also brought about a new style and way of doing things that is beginning to bother me a little bit. I like to call it the stutter technique, or record skip. It is when a word or part of a word is repeated over and over really quickly for a couple of seconds. I like this effect is certain areas and in small amounts, but it is becomming far too prevalent on all of Wayne, and his apostles, songs. I am not completely out of love with this technique, but I am afraid that if we do not get this situation solved, that I will quickly begin to hate it. So, please lets tone down the stutter effect.

Its the beginning of a new week everyone, take a moment to enjoy it, and if you get a chance get out and watch the very funny She's Out of My League. Thanks for reading
