"A Milli" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTF6N7EWzOA

Young Money
Ya Dig

A millionaire, I'm a young money millionaire
Tougher than Nigerian hair
My criteria compared to your career this isn't fair
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed
Through the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet
In my mind 'cause I don't write shit, 'cause I ain't got time
'cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the all mighty dollar
And the all mighty power of that ch, ch, ch, ch chopper
Sister, brother, son, daughter, father mothafuck a coppa
Got the Maserati dancin' on the bridge pussy poppin'
Tell the coppers hahahaha you can't catch 'em, you can't stop 'em
I go by them goon rules if you can't beat 'em then you pop 'em
You can't man 'em then you mop 'em,
You can't stand 'em then you drop 'em,
You pop 'em 'cause we pop 'em like Orville Redenbacher!!
Motherfucker I'm ill

A million here, a million there
Sicilian bitch with long hair
With coke in the derriere
Like smoking the thinest air
I open the Lamborghini hopin' them crackers see me
Like look at that bastard weezy
He's a beast, he's a dog, he's a motherfucking problem
OK, you're a goon but what's a goon to a goblin?
Nothing, nothing -- you ain't scarin' nothing
On some faggot bullshit call him Denise Rodman
Call me what you want bitch, call me on my sidekick
Never answer when it's private, damn I hate a shy bitch
Don't you hate a shy bitch?
Yeah I ate a shy bitch
She ain't shy no more, she changed her name to me bitch
hahahaha, yeah, nigga that's my bitch
So when she ask for the money, when you through don't be surprised bitch
It ain't trickin' if you got it
But you like a bitch with no ass, you ain't go shit
Motherfucker I'm ill, not sick
And I'm OK but my watch sick, yeah my drop sick, yeah my glock sick and my knot thick
IM It!
Motherfucker I'm Ill!

Yeah
See..
They say I'm rapping like Big, Jay and Tupac, Andre 3000 where is Erykah Baduh at? Who that?
Who that say they're gonna beat Lil' Wayne
My name ain't BIC, but I keep that flame man
Who that one that do that boy?
You all knew that
True that swallow
And I be the shit now you got loose bowels
I don't owe you like two vowels
But I would like for you to pay me by the hour
Ha ha, and I'd rather be pushing flowers
Than to be in the penn sharing showers
Ha, Tony told us this world was ours
and the Bible told us every girl was sour
don't play in the garden and don't smell her flower
call me Mr. Carter or Mr. Lawn Mower
boy I got so many bitches like I'm Michael Lowry
even Gwen Stefani said she couldn't doubt me
Motherfucker I say life ain't shit without me
Chrome lips poking out the coup look like it's pouting
I do what I do and you do what you can do about it Bitch
I could turn a crack rock into a mountain, dare me
Don't you compare me 'cause there ain't nobody near me
They don't see me, but they hear me
They don't feel me, but they fear me.
I'm illie

Our crew is gettin bigger, and there's way to many freaks
The muffler's draggin and the tailpipes squeak
Now these hoes are gettin hungry
Monoxide's treatin
We stopped at Xochimilco's for some mexican eatin
The restruant was closed, this ho was like "Damn it."
She said "Go back the other way we'll stop and eat at Seven."
Now seven's the place, it's a little run down
But they got the best Chilly Cheesy in town

This ho from another crew she picked it up and kissed it
Her boyfriend's trippin and jumpin on her case

ICP p p p


Is there really THAT MUCH of a difference in skill?

Lil Wayne just annoys the hell out of me (just like ICP annoys most of you). He could get shanked in the gut, and die tomorrow and I couldn't care less.

[Derek]

I was gonna mention how he could diss Weezy but praise ICP all the same. Find that sort of weird... may I remind everyone...

FUCKIN' MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK?
magic all up in this bitch

[Derek]

And that Weezy track has a lot of literary value actually... I don't see that really in that ICP song you posted

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

Yeah, I never said I liked any of their new shit. "Miracles" fucking sucks.

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

What is Weezy F. Baby's literary value?

[Derek]

Dude he's totally up there with Hemmingway and Kafka, THINK ABOUT IT.

I'm not saying Miracles doesn't 'suck' (though I'd not use that term). But seriously, in terms of quite how astonishingly bad it is, I'm amazed. It's not 'so bad it's good' - it really is amazingly shit. It's not irritatingly bad (or, at least, I stopped getting annoyed by that sort of thing ages ago). It's phenomenally, world-beatingly bad.

What I'm saying, essentially, is that it's quite fascinating how most 'bad' music is bad because it's boring, or uninventive or something. Whereas that ICP song really is phenomenal in how bad it is. I'm actually at a bit of a loss as to how to describe quite how awful it is.

For those who haven't heard it, it's here. I particularly like the moment of 'what's my most profound face?' at 1:28. The worst line in the song is from 1:51-2:00.

I don't really have an opinion either way on ICP vs Wheezy. Both sort of exist in a world that is quite alien to me. But by God, it's quite a feat of awfulness, that Miracles song.

[noisereductions]

Glice, that was the post of the year.

Dr. Eugene, I brought ICP into this because you were voicing an opinion of Lil Wayne's lyrics and flow. ICP lyrics are generally South Park shock value shit. And their flow is usually just yelling. So... I mean I find them amusing. But I don't think it's especially good.

[Glice]

I always think it's a bit odd how people slag off ICP. I don't like them - but they're not really aimed at people like me. I happen to quite like Current 93, and you should hear the reaction that got from my Mum (she didn't stop laughing for about 30 minutes, I thought she was going to have a cardiac arrest). She did a similar thing when she heard White Stripes - after laughing hysterically, she said, "People don't really take this seriously, do they?"

My Mum's great, by the way. But yeah, the point is that something like ICP is so very, very obviously aimed at an incredibly specific group of people (to whom I can't relate, apart from being from shitty backgrounds in the fuckarse of nowhere) that it just seems like shooting fish in a barrel. Mike Patton, meanwhile, is from a whole different order of utter shitness, much more volatile in its artless wankery.

[The Earl Of Slander]

Dr. Eugene, although it's not the impression you might get from my previous post in this thread, I used to fucking HATE Weezy. As in I regular said he had no flow, was a terrible lyricist, had shitty beats, ETC, and no matter how much urging I got, or how much I tried to listen to his shit, he just didn't click with me at all. A total figure of all that was wrong with hip-hop these days. This on the basis of, say, Lolipop. But then I heard Tha Carter II, and DAMN. I mean I still don't like his new/famous stuff that much, but this album has game.

Do yourself a favour and go away and listen to it a couple of times. Or even just, say, Receipt, if you're really not up for putting much time in, and if you still don't dig him at all, then fine, it's just a taste thing I guess. But I sure felt like an idiot after all of my past dissing of him after I really put the effort in with this one...

[noisereductions]

Earl that's how I was... but now I'm obsessed with everything he puts out. I'm the only dude in the world who listens to REBIRTH consistently. I love it all.

I got into it at a different time than you too, though. I was familiar enough with his earlier albums and mixtapes and shit by the time CARTER III Came out that I actually have a real special bond with that one too. GOing to the store that day and seeing the chaos and ppl moving from store to store with me in search of the bonus disc deluxe edition at 11AM becuz it was already sold out everywhere. That shit doesn't happen these days anymore. So it was an amzing experience. ANd the album has that feeling all over it. A certain air of acheivement.

But yeah his later work might now be for all. In fact he has 3 disctinct era's: EARLY DIRTY SOUTH --> UNDAGROUND LEGEND --> MOST POPULAR MF IN THE WORLD.,

Have you listened to the Young Money album yet? It's really, really fucking good. Weezy, Drake and Nikki Minaj is really an impressive team. I mean think about MOST crews in hip hop now. It's one good dude carrying a bunch of nobobies most of the time. At least YM has those 3 that are consistently interesting and say shit that makes me say "whaaaat?"

[The Earl Of Slander]

I haven't heard Young Money. Or indeed, any Wayne album outside of this one really, beyond a track or two. My buying/listening range has plummeted since going to uni, which is pretty much exactly when I started to get into Southern hip-hop...

[noisereductions]

oh word. WELL tell me you downloaded DEDICATION 2 at least????? PLEASE! OMG, it's so tied with this album as my favorite Lil Wayne release. Seriously. It's the DEFINITIVE Southern Mixtape. I love it so much.

[The Earl Of Slander]

I did not. I will do so in the near future though. Got 4 days of holiday left, so just GORGING myself on vinyl (don't have it at uni). It'll be way up on my list of priorities once I get back to uni and the new music bug comes calling though.

[Norma J]

I'm listening to The Leak Reloaded. And I'll reiterate on my previous post. His voice is realllly cool... But his music is niteclub shit. If only he put some cooler beats to his vocals. I'm waiting for Beyonce to come in with guest vocals. I mean, I can see the pros of the tunes too, which is why I have a bunch of his albums, but there are definite cons aswell. I can appreciate, but so could a niteclub bunny too.

Edited: The album cover is awesome for The Leak Reloaded.

you only think that cuz yr listening to an unoffical (bootleg) mixtape that focuses on his club-tracks. You obviously have no idea what his real albums sound like.

I'm listening to The Carter II right now, and I'll say the same thing.
