The new Lil Wayne album is ridiculously good.  It sold one million copies its first week.  The first album since 2005 to do so.  The article above had a hilarious synopsis of Lil Wayne, “He evolved from a child star into a dreadlocked street urchin spouting increasingly intricate, at times otherworldly rhymes. His raspy bullfrog of a voice has become one of pop music’s most recognizable, embracing possibilities that suggest a cartoon, an alien, a troll who lives under a bridge, and a bong-hugging surrealist.”  They called him an urchin and a bullfrog within two sentences, now that’s impressive.  I’ve been a fan of Lil Wayne since I was in middle school when “Tha Block Is Hot” was semi popular.  Now he has morphed into a bonafide superstar. 

The album also has my current favorite song on it and no it’s not Lollipop (as awesome as that song is).  In this song ‘Comfortable’ one of his lines actually made me laugh, “i got game like E.A.”  Every guy in the world has heard that damn, “E.A. Sports, it’s in the game” slogan a million times in their life and Lil Wayne actually made it flow into a song.  The song features Babyface who hasn’t had a hit in something like 12 years.  But the song sounds like something off of a Baby Bash album but with Lil Wayne rapping to it.  It was also produced by Kanye, which probably explains why it is so catchy.  I can’t get enough of it and it’s the perfect summer song.  I really hope this is his next single, it would be huge.  Here are the lyrics:

BabyFace // Hook
im not saying this to shake you up
im just saying this to wake you up
its all good when we making love
all i ask is dont take our love
for granted, its granted
my love for you, is real
baby if you dont love me
somebody else will, so baby girl
dont you ever get too comfortable

Lil Wayne // Verse 1

Lil Wayne // Verse 2

Lil Wayne // Verse 3
