mainstream media is starting to pay attention to Wayne again - I enjoyed this article about his verse 'Mad.'
Wayne’s stock has been in decline of late. In 2016, if it wasn’t a predictable, phoned-in verse, it was a boneheaded comment about there being no such thing as racism. I’m not saying the problem is entirely fixed now, but I am saying Wayne stockholders can report gains this quarter, thanks to Solange. Nowadays, without looking (or listening), you broadly know what you’re getting with a Wayne verse. It’s not that he only can rap about weed and cunnilingus; it’s just that he has to remember to not rap about those things, in the same way that Douglas Adams described learning to fly as “learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” Wayne just needed a nudge — to be sent back into the booth to hit that shit again until he got it right. With his airtight verse on “Mad,” it sounds like Solange did just that:
I got a lot to be mad about
Got a lot to be a man about
Got a lot to pop a Xan about
I used to rock hand-me-downs
And now I rock standing crowds
It was so beautiful I could have cried. OK, I did cry. Wayne’s R&B features are an often neglected but rewarding part of his oeuvre. Though at home literally anywhere, softer cuts push Wayne into newer and more interesting places, where his canny wordplay is at its most playful. Due to his mechanical output there are a lot of these guest spots, but here are some of the best ones.
