Mr. Carter at his best.

Rapper du jour Lil Wayne seems to be on every track on the radio these days, and honestly nothing on the radio now is good. I'd never been a big fan of Wayne, but like a lot of people, I became curious about his last album "Tha Carter III" after songs that were leaking on the internet sounded like something new. The album itself turned out not to be the album that would change music forever, but you can't turn your back on Wayne that quickly. Truth is, Wayne isn't at his best when he's on a club track hook, or when he makes a guest appearance on a track to give a new artist credibility... but rather when he makes songs that he knows will never get air time. Lil Wayne may just be the greatest rapper alive... but only when he doesn't try to be. Check out these two tracks if you don't believe me, and yes mom... this is what the kids are (or at least should be) listening to these days.
