The part about Wayne:
And then Wayne. Let’s talk Wayne. Wayne, the embattled greatest rapper of all time, the guy who has, by most accounts, spent the last half-decade wandering the musical desert with little more than various elaborately described vaginal fluids to sustain him. Wayne has, realistically, probablyrappedmorelights-outverses in the last two years than most rappers ever do in their entire careers, but it’s not particularly en vogue to stan for Wayne verses in 2016 (god bless y’all for listening to J. Cole while there’s literally any Lil Wayne to listen to, but that’s a separate conversation). But he hasn’t had the kind of event verse that everyone knew word-for-word and made him such an unfuckwithable presence circa 2008 in a while. May I submit: this verse. This is prime Wayne. This is everything you have ever liked about Wayne. This is Wayne sounding tortured and effortlessly stunting about his inhuman ability at the same time (“Free the Carter, niggas need the Carter / Sacrificing everything I feel like Jesus Carter”). This is Wayne in peak gurgled Auto-Tune rap (“I got problems bigger than these boys / my deposits they be on steroooids”). This is Wayne pulling up and hitting an 8x combo with the flow (“Hold up, I got this sewed up / my soda poured up / My woes up, I'm flippin' those bucks / they doing toe tucks / I roll up and let the smoke puff”), not to mention switching flows so naturally that using technical rap terms like “switching flows” is an insult to what he does. There are god-level punchlines delivered as laconically as you can imagine (“Half a milli in the safe, another in the pillowcase / codeine got me moving slower than a caterpillar race”). And then there’s the line upon which everything really turns, the dazzling internal rhyme flipping from introspective to tough that is “Hold up, get too choked up when I think of old stuff / Move on, put my goons on, they kidnap newborns.” That is classic Wayne. Put it in the books. Move on. Et cetera.
Loved the Cole slander as well.
