LOS ANGELES, CA (TPP)--Following a stellar year that saw him emerge as one of the leading voices in southern hip-hop, New Orleans native and Cash Money Records artist Lil' Wayne is set to release his boldest effort yet.
According to the rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, the release of his upcoming mixtape I Can't Feel My Face Vol. 1 will feature content that offers daring and unique mentions of drug sales and gunplay. Themes of misogyny and extraordinary wealth will also be broached.
"Ya'll already know man," Carter said.
"I ain't like these others. Hoes, bricks, glocks, I'm completely comfortable talking about all of these things on a record and I think it's about time the fans got a taste of that.
"These other n----s dope, I'm wet crack baby," he added.
Since the start of 2006, Carter's released more than two dozen full-length recordings, including The W. Carter Collection, The W. Carter Collection 2, The Carter 2 Mixtape, The Carter 2.5, The Carter 2.7, Blow: I Can't Feel My Face Prequel, Mixtape Legend, Da Nolia Soldier 4: Return of Weezy, Dedication 2: Gangsta Grillz, From 9/11 to Katrina, From 9/11 To Katrina Vol. 2, The Color of Money, Lil Weezyana Vol. 1, Young Money Vol. 1, The Carter Files, Young Money Millionaire, Young Money Millionaire Vol. 2, The Greatest Rapper Alive, The Greatest Rapper Alive Vol. 2, Da Drought 3 (Double Disc), Like Father Like Son, Wayne's World (64 tracks), Wayne's World Pt. 2, Wayne's World Pt. 3, Wayne's World Pt. 4, Please Say The Baby, Wayne's World 4.5, Young Jeezy & Lil' Wayne: Your Favourite Trappers and The Lil' Wayne Freestyles.
The incredibly prolific rhymer is already known for his to-the-point lyrics, but says the upcoming disc will take that habit to the next level and is a certain milestone for the hip-hop community.
"This is the realist shit I ever wrote ... anyone ever wrote," Wayne insists.
"Forget what you've heard up until now: people need to know that I've got the whitest face junk on the block, and that I keep my waist heavy with fifty clips."
The release of I Can't Feel My Face Vol. 1 will indeed bring these issues to the foreground, and could ultimately mark a significant shift in the genre's direction. If Wayne can effectively establish himself as more than merely an rapper and transcend the music world into that of drug kingpin and cold-hearted, Uzzi-wielding killer, 2007 might be the year he really does put New Orleans back on the map.
The inspiration for
"I'm-a bring it to these n----s' chests," Carter promises, before spitting a few choice lyrics from the upcoming release.
"Oh no/I bring that stone cold flow/keep that chrome stowed low and make that ho hold blow.
"Fo sho/you homos are a no go, your act is just so-so/you're chick's uglier than Frodo."
Clearly Carter boasts and innovator's spirit, but some of his competition is understandably concerned.
"If this n---a start talking guns and coke, what are the rest of us supposed to do," asked Memphis-based rapper Young Buck.
"There's no room for that sort of shit in hip hop ... it's not good for business."
"I'm not really comfortable lying to people and suggesting that the use of cocaine is an acceptable or glorifiable practice," seconded Miami's Rick Ross.
Not everyone agrees with Buck and Ross' assessment however, and Carter's multiple collaborative efforts with Dipset's Juelz Santana suggest others in the game may be quick to climb on board for his daring experiment.
Juelz will try anything once.
"I'm tired of just talking about how much I like certain stuff and where the good places to eat in New York are," Santana said after admitting the tightly guarded upcoming release does in fact contain multiple admissions of trafficking and violent crime.
"There's too much of that already in the game, I really believe people are looking for something fresh.

from "Gangstas and Pimps(feat. Baby)"
"Ladies and gentlemen This one goes out to that little kid that got fried Spam for lunch I feel for you, I'm with you, I'm with you brother And this one right here is for that ghetto girl with the bad perm That just burn baby, burn baby, burn Pop open a malt liquor Smoke something until your scalp gets killed
Gangstas and pimps Love lobsters and shrimps Kool-Aid and chicken Flashy things and women All I need Is Remy and weed Somebody not afraid To go some for my Escalade"
Hints of early Robert Frost with just a touch of Poe-esque macabre, wouldn't you say?

I never listen to rap, but of the rap I've heard, I think that the funniest line is....
"God damn, mother fucker, She's a, good dick sucker."
I don't know what the name of the song is or who "sings" it, but it has always stuck out as pretty much the only rap line I've been able to "identify" with.

I believe you are mistaken in crediting Whitney Houston.
The afore mentioned "children are the future" is a quote from Sexy Chocolate, a collaboration that was celebrated in the popular eighties movie Coming to America.

I give this one 5 MFDS just for bringing back the glory days of Cash Money and Lil' Weezy for sheezy. Ya herd?
Mr. Fister, that line was immortalized by the one and only Manny Fresh in "Get Your Roll On". That's a good one, but the best Cash Money song will always be "Snake", which features this chorus (I'm not making this up):
I know ya wish you could find a / n---a wit' a dick like a anaconda, conda I know ya wish you could know a / n---a wit' a dick like a big cobra, cobra I know ya wish you could go home / to a n---a wit' a dick like a python, python I know ya wish you could get a date / wit a n---a wit' a dick like a rattlesnake, rattlesnake

While in Vegas last weekend, whenever I would hit a blackjack, I would run over to the only black guy in sight, at the roulette table, and yell "BLACK JACK!" in his face and make him give me some 'dap'.

I still think I prefer these lyrics to the songs where guys I've ne ver heard of rap about how rich they are and how many hos they get. It's a weird self-fulfilling prophecy because they end up getting rich off that crap.
