It all started at my niece's 15th birthday bowling bonanza. Someone began playing a song, with a beat so infectious, it could make the women of the polygamist compound start to shake their groove things. At the same time, the innuendos contained in the song would make Lil Kim blush.
I would later find out that the song was called Lollipop and it was by Lil Wayne?!?!?!
I told my niece she wasn't allowed to listen to that song ( to absolutely no avail). Then something quite miraculous happened. I heard a remix of the song with Kanye West. That certainly got my attention and I ( reluctantly enough) became obsessed with the song. A few weeks later A Milli bombarded itself into my universe and reluctantly again I fell for it.
Up until this point, I was a causal Lil Wayne user... I mean listener. About a week ago, while getting a ride home, Mr. Gee gave me another taste. It was a song with Jay-Z called Mr. Carter. The addiction began that very night. As soon as I was able in the nearest Target with a hoodie over my head, avoiding all eye contact and making sure I didn't run into any of my friends.
I bought the Lil Wayne album.
There I said it and I like it too. Yes, it very much is like crack. It's a shock to your system at first, but then you start to like it and when its all over, you want more. Sorry Common, I struggle with the guilt everyday, but I like it. I still love you the most though.
Regardless of what the album's like, you must admit. that's some of the most genius album art we've seen in quite a long time.
