I've gone through this album a few times and I love it. The only songs that are "unlistenable" for me are Medicine Ball and Insane

I know I shouldn't even post in this thread, but I just have to say that I haven't been able to relate to rap since about age 22. Seems like a novelty to me. Maybe that's what it's supposed to be. But I would imagine that 90% of all rap albums sold are bought by teenagers.
I do not hate it, nor do I judge people who listen to it, I'm just stating that I don't relate to it. No biggie, don't get pissed. I say that because a 20 year old kid that we hired to be a bar back damn near wanted to fight me because I told him that Lil wayne doesn't say a damn thing that pertains to me or my life. dude was seriously offended, and I thought to myself, damn, dude is mad over this? I guess he's the perfect audience for a rapper. |

Odd, I don't care for Medicine Ball either, but consider Insane fantastic. The lyrics make me cringe, (gotta wear headphones if the boys are up), but the flow is amazing.

Now that I've had a chance to listen to the album more, I am astounded at how much I like it. I feel like he takes the listener on a journey song to song more than he ever has. It has the ****ed up content of SSLP, the relentless flow and intensity of MMLP and the production value and theatricality of Eminem Show. I am not quite ready to say it's better than MMLP (His best to date IMO) but I might be soon. I gotta give the newness time to wear off and I will probably listen to MMLP through again. The best part to me is how I don't have a track I don't love. We Made You is the weakest for me but, as others have stated, it's his pop song and it's still better than 99.9% of "hip hop" passed off by radio stations. All of his other albums had a song or two that I would almost always skip through. On this one, I love them all. I couldn't be more happy with the effort and I CANNOT WAIT till relapse two later this year. |

Probably because he's one of the few mainstream hip hop artists not rapping about guns, having money and bitches or doing some stupid new dance craze. I feel bad for truley talented rappers who get overlooked because they don't put on a minstral show and wear gold teeth and rap about the same shit that almost every mainstream rapper is rapping about.

On a related note, Roger Waters is an incredibly blah lyricist. Just look at how all of these verses rhyme! Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun See what sort of sense that makes? |
