Can Lil Wayne Top Hip Hop's King of Rock?


My usual morning routine consists of checking Google Reader for all the news and music I've missed overnight. Well, this morning I didn't check Reader. So when I got home at around 6:00 PM, I had a lot of reading to do! Lots of music came out today, most notably some newness(?) from Jay-Z and Jim Jones. But the track that blew my mind was the new Lil Jon banger "Killas", featuring The Game and Ice Cube.

As crazy as it sounds, I've been anticipating Lil Jon's new album for a very long time. Say all you want about the monotony of his "Yeah", "What" and "Okay" chants, Jon knows how to get down with some serious crunk rock. Now as we all know, Lil Wayne is apparently putting out a rock album. You've heard "Prom Girl", right? Horrible, right? Well, to be honest witcha, I'd like to see where this is going. Will we get to see a Jon/Weezy chart-battle a la Kanye vs. Fiddy? Time will tell. All I know is that Weezy ain't got shit on Lil Jon.

To me, "Killas" sounds like "Born and Raised in Compton" and "Rap Superstar" mixed with crack and steroids. What do you think?

  1. you're brainwashed. all of the music you just wrote about is far, far from hip hop. lil jon? "weezy", are you fucking serious? kanye vs. fiddy? ha haaa ha ahhhaahhhhaaaaaa. holy shit, please re-educate yourself, you need help. you probably think kanye is a real lyrical master with lines like "i need jesus like kathy lee need regis" ..... genius. go pick up a j-live or kev brown album and save yourself.

  3. I'd rather listen to Lil Jon than a Wayne rock album

  4. Fuck the hype, there's music and there is noise.

    I think if it's refined that this new side branch could blossom, but it's not rap, you don't slap it together over a beat.

    Hope the artist respect that and craft something good, something worth calling music
