Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem – “Forever (Travis Barker Remix)”
Oh, and for the record: after further inspection, Lil Wayne remains thoroughly outclassed on this track.
Honestly, this video is a little bit of a hot mess. Hype’s shots just seem so boring these days, the performances aren’t anything special, and the clips from LeBron’s movie just make it all look odd. Definitely would have been better served to not appear on the soundtrack and perhaps have a little more creativity with the scenes. With my day job involving music videos, I see 10 cooler clips than this a day…which is pretty sad when you think about all the major players that were involved with this project.
That said:
“she insists she got more class…WE KNOW“
is one of the hardest lines of the year. Drizzy!
After weeks of teaser pics, behind the scenes vignettes, sneak previews (and sneak previews of sneak previews), the long awaited follow up to Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” video has finally hit the net.
First off, I prefer the mixtape version of this song from So Far Gone (minus Weezy’s completely unnecessary appearance) rather than this edit with an added verse from Trey Songz. Plus the hook just doesn’t catch the same without hearing “the hoooooooes.” Why is “hoes” even edited? That’s not a bad word at all. “Hoes.” See? No censor. Thank you Don Imus.
Aside from the [Ludacris] HOErrible [/Luda] censorship, visually, I think the video is pretty much spot on. If there was one iota of sunshine in this clip, I would have been livid. The beat, melody, subject matter, etc. all combine for a perfect late night soundtrack. It’s almost too bad the single couldn’t drop later in the year. This would be ideal for the cold Pacific Northwest winter.
“illlllllllll“
Criminally underrated producer Exile is dropping his new album Radio in January and he’s been shooting some of these ill promo videos leading up to the release. In this edition, he chops up Lil’ Wayne and some Hiero to show you what true mpc mastery looks like. Weezy never sounded so good.
Shout to the homey Jon Kim for sending this through.
As I mentioned in the last post, Glasses Malone and Mistah F.A.B., came through Sound Session this past week while in town for a concert. We didn’t get to knock out one of our traditional “Inside the Actor’s Studio”-style interviews, where we could really go in depth, but it was fun regardless. We talked a little about Glasses’ upcoming Beach Cruiser album, his background, how he got his name, and why F.A.B. enjoys keeping his fingernails finely manicured hahaha. Check it out:

(word to the Gorillaz poster in the studio)
Hahahahahahahah.
Bobby Ray just ethered half the industry with this one, Wayne especially. I’m sure he’ll have to be PC and downplay any controversy as just jokes, but remember: [Ms. Fischer] behind every joke is a little bit of truth [3rd grade teacher]. Glad someone dope in the industry isn’t afraid to say it…
Look out for B.o.B., Playboy Tre, and B-Rich on Sound Session soon.

WLotD was gone for a few days, but as usual, Wayne brings it back.
“stop a n***a like a comma”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Stand Up”
So…momentarily?
WLotD is back after a little vacation, and who better to re-launch it with than the G.W.R.O.A.T., Lil’ Wayne himself?
“I never loved a b*tch, I only loved the moments/
Sh*t, I’m all about the Bills like Thurman Thomas”
–Lil’ Wayne, “I Can’t Feel My Face”
In terms of the meaning and simile, that’s fine. However…”moments” and “Thomas”? You’d have to be like Wayne in that picture to think those two remotely rhyme.
Lil’ Wayne’s WLotD month is wrapping up with this entry, so I thought I’d double up with a lyric for yesterday since I forgot to post one. So here are two to end it officially:
“And when I smile, it look like a bag of coke/
I gets high, I’m twisted like a bag of ropes”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Whip Game Proper”
&
“I’m on top of my green like a lawn chair/
Don’t worry, I’m straight like arm hair/
Don’t worry, I’m straight like combed hair”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Never Get It”
I would say that I’d miss Wayne for these posts, but I’m sure he’ll be back soon enough.
(you were great in Ghost)
All-Wayne WLotD month is winding down, but we still have a few more days…and no shortage of material:
“That gun got me walking like I got irregular knees/
I be all over the bread like sesame seeds/
Automatic with the money, like Reggie for three/
Big Birds, no Sesame Street…b*tch!”
–Lil’ Wayne, “Weatherman”
