Since the beginning of Hip-Hop all rappers ever wanted to be were rock stars. Like him or not, and I don’t like him, Lil’ Wayne is a rock star. he is trashing hotels with his entourage all the while hopped up on homemade narcotics and sleeping pills. I thought he would be gone by now, but he only seems to be getting bigger by the day.
I found myself liking the song ‘Prom Queen’ which I posted below after I heard it on Nah’Right. Even with the New Music Cartel tags throughout the song it still made my head nod. The lyrics are fine too so that means that Wayne didn’t write them. ‘Prom Queen’ is the story of young, unrequited love and the feeling of exultation when you see that person later in life and they are all fucked the fuck up. It is a song that triumphs in the downfall of a woman who sought love with the wrong men.
If you are thinking that is an effed up theme to champion you are right. I don’t agree with the song’s message, but as a sign of our culture it is clearly on point and in step with our overall lack of humanity. The music also rocks.
Shout out to 2DopeBoyz and the New Music Cartel
