The Tale Of A Once in a Generation Talent called Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.

I'd like to believe that many people born in the late 90s and early 2000s all fell in love with hip-hop when we first heard a Lil Wayne song,album or mixtape,for me I fell in love with hip-hop and started to like Lil Wayne when I heard the song Lollipop feat Static Major in 2008 and the rest as they say is history.


From that moment on all I listened to was Wayne, in my eyes he was truly the best rapper alive at the time. Nobody was working as hard as him,dropping hits like him and doing a lot of features on songs that turned into hits because he was on them and lets not even start with the legendary Mixtape Weezy how he would take other people songs,rap over them and make you forget that song belonged to someone else.

Nobody in the industry can say they weren't influenced by Wayne someway or somehow, Lil Wayne was way different from all the rappers that came before him. When people started Cash Money the label he was signed too, he carried the label on his back and turned into a million dollar enterprise. He started his own label called Young Money and gave us stars like Drake and Nicki Minaj. Lately though I feel like he fell off hard, he isn't that same guy he was  when I first started listening to him,all he talks about now is pussy,money and weed which is stuff he always talked about but now it's too much. He hasn't dropped a great album since Tha Carter 3 all the albums that came after that album weren't that good only Tha Carter 4 came close to being as good if not better as Carter 3,he has dropped a couple of great song between then and now. The quality of his mixtapes has also dropped,he hasn't dropped an classic mixtape since he dropped No Ceilings which was in 2009,only Sorry 4 the Wait came close. 

I really hope we can get the old Wayne back soon and I really hope as a fan he stops with the sizzurp because its dangerous for his health and not good for his career.Lil Wayne will always be considered a legend and one of the greatest to ever do it.

Emtee-Manado Album

Image
Emtee's second studio album Manado was really a great project,filled with smash hits. Had that album been marketed right it could have done amazing numbers just like his debut album Avery. He is one of the most gifted we have in South Africa, and his music speaks for itself. Usually when artists have a great debut album their second album isn't as good as their first but in my personal opinion I feel like Manado was a great second album because it showed growth in Emtee's music,it didn't sound the same as his debut album. The  problem for me  was that it wasn't pushed hard enough as it could have been, it was filled with great songs, the music videos for some of the songs was great, Emtee's storytelling was on point and showed another side to him as an artist. My favorite song on the album was the title track called Manado which Emtee was talking about a guy he grew up with who protected him from bullying and was there for him, I enjoy that song because I can...

Rouge- Queen of the New Era

Image
I started listening to Rouge after I heard her verse on the Baddest Remix by AKA, she had one if not the best verse on the song. Everything about her verse was exceptional,the way she switched flows,languages and what she said in that verse was something special. I didn't listen to her for a while after that but when she dropped her debut album "New Era Sessions" in 2017 I was hooked again. She really showed her versatility on that album,her bars were totally amazing,every song captures your attention and makes you take note of her lyrical content. The storytelling on songs like "Celebrity" and "Sheba Ngwan'o" just to name a few are great and she paints a very vivid and great picture with her words. In my personal opinion she is one of the best artists we have in the country. She hasn't dropped an album since she dropped her "New Era Sessions" debut ,she has dropped amazing songs like "Popular" feat Emtee and a great music v...

The Weeknd The Greatest Artist Of Our Time.

Image
After Hours was where my journey began with the artist know as The Weeknd, from the very first moment I heard that album I instantly became a big fan, I mean sure I had heard of him before but there was something about the After Hours album that made me see him in a different light. The After Hours album is one of the few album across all genres that I can listen too without skipping any songs, that's how amazing Abel made the album. After I was done listening to the album I went back to listen to all of The Weeknd's earlier bodies of work such as Trilogy, Kissland, Beauty Behind The Madness, My Dear Melancholy, and Starboy, I was totally blow away by just how amazing all those projects were, I instantly became a member of XO. One of the many reasons why I like The Weeknd so much is because he isn't scared of being different from other artists, he's unique and he stands out from the pack, which is something I r...
