Life in hi-definition. We live by sight and not by faith.

These are the kicks I want more than any others:
I used to think Wayne was the shit. He's still cool with me, it's just that Tha Carter II and Dedication are almost single-handedly responsible for making me like hip-hop. That's when Wayne was hungry...Hungry rappers are the best. He still had somethin to prove even though he was never really a bubblegum rapper . Since Dedication II, I feel he got lazy. He was bustin out serious lines on every track on his previous mixtapes, but it's like the syrup, coke, and pounds of weed have gotten to his brain for good. He can still turn it off and on, don't get me wrong. He's got hot lines still, but his flow's nowhere near as aggressive or edgy like it used to be. Everyone wants to hop on the autotune T-pain shit, and the horrible child birthed from the union of that and drugs is called "Lollipop." WTF, Weezy. Yes, it sounds good, I'm not debating that, BUT the Wayne I listened to faithfully in high school was way more serious about his lyrics. You fuckin up, Weezy. I'm gettin mixed messages. I'll hear "Mr. Carter" and think "my nigga Wayne's still got it," and then hear "Lollipop" and shake my head instead of bob it. Singing's not your forte, nigga, cut it out. It's not even T-Pain's forte, but hell, he does it better than you. You still my nigga, but get serious. You've become too comfortable. I don't feel like even addressing the other songs on the album. It's like a bag full of candy and glass. Some songs are a real treat. I feel mostly tricked. Fabolous killed the first verse of "Nothing on Me", and Juelz and Weezy did their parts, but other songs make me wanna gouge my eyes out with a spoon. It's a good album overall, and it has an all-star producer cast, but I can't say it was worth the wait..I know it's hard to completely reinvent an album after niggas leak it online, but shit..you've been working on it for a minute. I was expecting to be blown away. I'm just blown. 3 stars...Oh, and enough with the baby pictures.
