Lil Wayne 'No Ceilings 2' [Official Thread]

[ChrisBLawyer]

lol i made a really long post about how "beast" is a way better song than "im nice" but my internet gave out. mostly tho, wayne had one good moment on im nice, beast is filled w tons of nice moments all over the place,, from beginning to end. its a virtuoso performance really. made me realise hes taken another step as a rapper and a musician.

i think the problem you have is how youre grouping young thug w soulja boy or lil mama. lol they arent the same at all. no one is writing thought pieces on their styles or lyricism.

A loss for words: Listening to the post-verbal brilliance of Young Thug | The Washington Post

think this is one of best articles to read before really forming an opinion on young thug. lol some tidbit to hopefully get you to read..

His voice might get on your nerves, but it does amazing things once it’s on them. Which is to say, when you start listening to Young Thug’s music, the notion that he might be the most exceptional rapper going seems laughable. And when you finish, it seems irrefutable.

. It was an unscripted data dump, and it precipitated a different kind of listening – the kind that rewards curiosity with fireworks, and stamina with fluency. And fluency is important, because at first, Young Thug is pretty much impossible to understand.

^^^ this is really really important.

Oblivious to the lyric sheet, he raps as if reciting every sound his lungs, throat and mouth are capable of producing. He appears to be exploring the possibilities of the human breath with the same improvisational zeal that yesteryear’s jazz masters must have felt when they tried to blow the universe through their horns.

. He likes to leap octaves without warning, often vaulting from a purr to a squawk. He likes to let certain vowels buzz in the back of his throat so that they become percussive enough to imply rhythm. He likes to create tension by coasting through swaths of dead air – just as much as he likes to tamper with momentum by filling other empty spaces with nonsensical blah-blahs. He has an incredible ear for melody and detail,

What’s more, the flexibility of his voice allows him to pull from a wider, weirder spectrum of sensations. He can rap melodically, emotively and wordlessly, as if he’s suffering hiccups of ecstasy, or choking to death on a Funyun, or sobbing hysterically into a silk pillowcase. He knows that certain feelings can elude language, but not music.

. When he raps about specific drugs, he might torque his voice to sound like he’s impervious to the effects of those very drugs. It’s all a strange, playful display of power: Young Thug will not follow the rules of logic, English, seduction or pharmacology.



lol eh, you might not need to read the article. those might be the important ones to start informing your listening when it comes to young thug. think youre fighting a losing battle, hes probably going to be around for awhile.

Bro.. Articles, your opinion and anybody won't change what MY ears hear. Which is straight GARBAGE

When it comes to melodies I'm a fan of the best.. James Brown, MJ, Stevie Wonder, Sade etc and in the modern era Weeknd, Chris B, Usher, Timberlake etc. Those guys deserve articles and long explanations on their melody abilities. Not Young mumbles and not even Wayne... Wayne deserves that kind of praise for his RAPPING, and creativity. Sometimes his singing is hit and classic, and others its miss.

PS: I'm not fighting any sort of battle.. no more than thinking soulja boy was trash. He's still around isnt he ? LOL.

God please help these poor souls who have been brainwashed into thinking Thug and Future are lyrical genius's. Lol you guys get opinions and legit facts so twisted. You like their music? Cool Don't come at us with that bull shit you put into your mini Novel posts. Or honestly just go do it in their own thread.

Too Young

[ChrisBLawyer]

NC1 may be the better tape.. but I enjoy this tape WAAAAY more.

[Lil wayne prezident]

NC1 may be the better tape.. but I enjoy this tape WAAAAY more.

its still too soon to say anything like that.

its still a new project, it's not even been out 1 month yet.

if Wayne dropped a new project last week you would probably enjoy that one more.

[2006WayneForever]

Still enjoy D2 and DD3 more than No Ceilings. You can add Dedication 5 and Sorry 4 The Wait II to that list, n'yucca. Suck it, No Ceilings.

lol this is a terrible post on few levels, but im curious to know what the legit facts are.

[2006WayneForever]

If he would have just saved songs like Jumpman for Dedication 6, it probably would have come out a lot better. And LMFAO @ my dude [MENTION=66051]mode[/MENTION]'s number of thanks tho.
