I hope someone reads this

In about 2007 I heard a song on 97.1 FM entitled Want You; I have been a Lil’ Wayne fan ever since.

It was Dwayne Michael Carter’s second portion of the mixtape, No Ceilings that inspired me to write this (It has been weeks since I last put down over 100 meaningful words). A friend of mine in film school told me that once I learned the fundamentals, I could “make a riff out of it.” I hope to live a life like that.

I hope to live a life where I learn the fundamentals and can go on to “make a riff out of it.”

No Ceilings 2 came out at the end of fall, when everyone away from the equator hunkered into a period of sadness as dark clouds and heavy winds ruled the land. When I discovered the album (No Ceilings 2) it had been six years since Wayne dropped No Ceilings.

(I hate this.):

If you defend him and go on to say, “Lil’ Wayne,” you flinch because there is stigma about Lil’ Wayne that attaches him to the expressive structure of rap music—whether goofy and black or angry and white.

I defend him.

Dwayne Michael Carter (Lil’ Wayne) has made thousands of songs, won excessive amounts of awards, and was the sound of my youth from ninth grade to a full-time job at 24 through homelessness and 4,000 miles on the road by bicycle. I was a senior in high school when Lil’ Wayne dropped the first portion of No Ceilings.

I bumped the tracks of No Ceilings as I slow-rode in my first car down a slope out of the mobile home park that my mom lived in.

“No ceilings, *****, good morning!”

It was on those streets that I was stopped by our landlord because my music was too loud and disrupted the old people who lived around us. The No Ceilings album was a mixtape where Wayne had hyper-improved since his days of I Can’t Feel My Face. Both were mixtapes but No Ceilings represented his fame since the feature he had when I first heard him on the radio in 2007 as a part of Lloyd’s single, Want You.

Lil’ Wayne pierces the complacency of genres to inspire mobility in creativity. Lil’ Wayne maximizes the potential of sound and has fun while doing it.

Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper ever.

I hate how stigma has swallowed Lil’ Wayne.

You’re gonna go on to rally and say how smart it is for me to say this about a man who had been buried as a demigod to pop culture. How smart it is that I could find beauty in the destroyed. It is there that I will say that there are many subjects that mean more to me than an analysis of my favorite music that I won’t get to harp on in the brief life we lead to live; although I hope I will in our future.

In conclusion, I am ecstatic to have a new Wayne album that is a prize for fans that enjoy what skills he garners.
