He also generously invites lesser-known New Orleans rappers such as Gudda Gudda and Curren$y to appear on the mixtape, though none come close to upstaging him. Wayne’s version, thrillingly, implores the woman to exact revenge upon this peacocking prick: “Get a plastic bag / Throw it over his head and make him gag… you flashed all night, nigga, you deserve it.” The original saw Drake and Future create the grotesquely chauvinistic image of a dude telling a stripper to scoop his money into a plastic bag because “you danced all night, girl, you deserve it”. First, ‘My Name Is’, robbing the backing track to Eminem’s 1999 worldwide hit, is audacious in concept and hilarious in execution, leading you to wonder if it actually took Weezy 16 years to think up the inspired couplet, “Hi, my name is / Lil Wayne, bitch.” Second, he emerges – for one song, at least – an unlikely champion of women’s rights on ‘Plastic Bag’.
There are two genuinely breathtaking moments on this ragtag collection comprised of remixes of other rappers’ tracks (around one-third first belonged to Drake and Future) and the occasional original composition.
His third release this year, and sequel to 2009’s ‘No Ceilings’, is a reminder of Wayne’s prowess, as he outdoes rivals on their own tracks.
#Lil wayne new album no ceilings free
‘No Ceilings 2’, Lil Wayne’s newest free mixtape, is about more than suppressing fans’ appetites for the New Orleans rapper’s much-delayed album ‘Tha Carter V’, of which there’s still no sign. This aint a stop-gap, it’s a goddamn arms race.
