Rapping from Rikers: Swallow Wayne's Words

Beyond Big Boi, there has been an absence of dynamic, smart rap finding its way onto my iPod. This is accentuated by "My Chick Bad" which is like rubbing a cheese grater on my ears.

Hip hop always comes in waves for me, so it makes me happy (and disappointed in our legal system) that Wayne is transmitting flow to the mainland. Not only is Wayne's verse a gigantic coup for Drake, it will also give his fascinating Wiki bio another entry. I really can't stop listening to his verse; the low fi sound only enhances the genius flow.

Before his incarceration, his celebrity was overcoming his output. Its hard to find time to unleash ridiculous flow when you are fake laughing at the reprehensible Skip Bayless on ESPN or freaking Katie Couric the fuck out. Now, I'm hoping Wayne comes out of prison motivated, ambitious, and extra-terrestrially thoughtful. Again.
