Lil Wayne – Hot Revolver
I’m not sure what I can say that hasn’t already said about Lil Wayne. In fact, I’m sure plenty of people have gotten sick and tired of hearing one of Weezy’s seemingly 800 singles that are being spun on the radio, TV, etc. All of that said, prepare yourself for even more.
Now, I will count myself as a fan of Wayne and his innumerable creative exploits, and this next one is no exception. Hot Revolver is the latest leaked track from the forthcoming Rebirth LP. For those who don’t know, this LP is Wayne’s foray into the rock world. If this song is any indication, it will be a successful one.
As you’ll see, if you press play below, Wayne makes the perfect use of the perhaps overused autotuner. He puts forth an effort that immediately brings to mind the more “rock” songs from the Santogold album, while at times channeling a bit of TV on the Radio for good measure. Make no mistake, you won’t get any masterful guitar work, or brilliant singing chops. What you will get is Wayne knowing his limitations and then pushing them to a charmingly imperfect level. Say what you will about Wayne, hell you’re probably just regurgitating someone else’s quote anyway, but he’s an astute artist that will not let himself get stale, even for five seconds.
I’d love to share an mp3, but it doesn’t seem to be floating around at the moment, unless you want the typical DJ overdub yelling at you every two seconds, letting you know “THIS IS A DJ WHOGIVESASHIT EXCLUSIVE.” In lieu of that, enjoy this youtube, before it gets yanked…which it might before you even finish reading this.
