This has been my favorite song for the past two weeks. I thought I'd share it because it took me completely off guard and makes me like Wayne even more. For a more commercial southern rapper, this song is incredibly poetic while being very dark and deep. It's obviously about drugs ... but when did (black) rappers get so emotional about them?!?! I didn't know Wayne spit about this type of 'white-boy' stuff. In terms of subject matter, it reminds me of something I'd hear on a Cage, Necro or even Eminem track... very impressive!
Been bumping the Carter III a lot too... best track by far is "Mr. Carter" ft. Jay-Z, although the one about sleeping with female police officers is classic too.
Until hearing the Drought 3, I was honestly never a fan. I tried listening to The Carter 1 & 2, and I'm still not feeling those Manny Fresh/southern styled midi keyboard synth beats.
I heard about this because apparently he's being sued by the singer of the band Karma for not clearing the sample. Which is pretty stupid because this is a mixtape track and was never officially released. The controversy is that he still preforms it live. More on that here.
The original break: Karma - "Once"
