So we all know he's been posing with a guitar for a while and now he's doing a full on rock album. I've heard 2 tracks so far Prom Queen and Hot revolver. This is actually the most listenable music i've ever heard from him though I do like "stuntin like my daddy" and "A milli". Are you all ready for this? I am! I am happy to see more rappers try something different. I know his fans will probably hate this the way Kanye's fans don't like 808's. Now I heard even Diddy is working on a new album in the same vein as 808's. Seems that album has made some rappers re-think their careers. Good hopefully hip hop will eventually dry up and dropp off!

Check out the new Lil Wayne Single here http://www.concreteloop.com/

Peace

Usually P. Diddy copys what other people are doing

what up paisley yeah that's true but i think 808's really started something. that album might go down in history as a turning point for hip hop.

It ain't even hip hop

Prom Queen is hot! Im glad he's broadening his horizons. Lil Wayne tryna build that empire. You go with your lil inked up self!

No, this could not be the most "punk" thing ever. The Sex Pistols and The Clash are punk. Nirvana and Green Day are punk. Lil Wayne is NOT punk.

AAAAARRRRRGGGHH!!!!!

No, Lil' Wayne and "punk" shouldn't be in the same sentence.

That is good pop rock song...but I liked the Jay Z song better.

"she ask me

I'm kinda auto-tuned out after hearing a whole album from Kanye using it.

On second thought, he is a "punk ass bitch".

eaglebear4839 said:

but that's what i'm talking about when i say punk. punk is an attitude. yes sex pistols and the clash are punk but isn't it realy punk to do something completely different and taking a risk??

dancerella said:

not when it's the biggest selling musical act in the world cashing in on a calculated marketing ploy.

This is what passes for a rock song in 2009?


Sweet Christ that's a downer.



Gotta give him a hand for trying out something new at least, but classing this song even as pop-rock would be a HUGE stretch.

It's really just a word off. Try:

The Most Crap Thing Ever".

Weezy F. Baby?

If he's wheezing, then I'm coughing.....up sperm.....out of my penis.....that is a four....teen inch cleaver. You get the point. You get the gist. LOL! Jizzed/Jisms

what would you call it then?

dancerella said:

Rock Salt. Meltin' all that ice on my wrist, son! DAMN!

dancerella said:

A vaguely clubby pop track with some guitar. Not rock, and certainly not punk by any definition.

Some good ol' proto-punk for ya, for comparison:


Lil Wayne's effort here isn't bad, really. I think he should be commended for trying a foray out of his proven cashable field, actually. But to call the song rock? I'm sorry, but IMO it just doesn't cut it.

LOLafalana!

dancerella said:

No, it's not "really punk" to take a risk. In fact, just the act of describing something as "really punk" makes it not punk.

eaglebear4839 said:

And there we have it.

Punk is indeed more an attitude than a sound, but not just any ol' tune can be called punk -ESPECIALLY if the motivations behind it were commercial. And labelling something punk does take away some of the "punkness" of it as well. Johnny Cash, for example, was only punk until people started calling him so.

i love prom queen. i mean run dmc changed the face of the genre and jay and linkin park did their thing, so did gym class heroes and colin munroe so lets wait and see.

and umm that diddy experimental album was called play.

BOOOOO!!!!!
