This is usually TC’s bag of tricks but he’s off today so…yeah. New Rawse with two of Cash Money’s respective millionaires. Thankfully, the beat is sizzling so that makes the task that much easier.
“The block done got hotter, the world done got colder, Fuck a diamond chain, we wearing guns on our shoulders.”
Of course, Weezy shows up & Ricky does what he does best. But Birdman needs a new ghostwriter. Fuck it, dude needs a designated rapper (*cough* extreme fabrication *cough*). Whenever he’s asked to guest, he should just defer to one of the Young Money kids (aka Junior Mafia 2010 © Mikey) they’re trying to build up. Short Dawg or Gudda, maybe? Even Tyga would work instead of Baby. Or give Starlito the opportunity. Anything but this guy’s feeble attempts @ rapping that always seem to sabotage songs.

I can’t possibly believe ANYone listens to a beat and says “i NEED birdman on this”
It’s gotta be like when you order cable on comcast and somehow adding a phone line is cheaper than not having one so you get it even though you got no fucking use for it.
I can be as cynical as I want about Ross’ existence in rap. But I’d be a liar if I told you that guy can’t find great production. But adding Birdman to the mix = subtract three quick points from the total lol.
Lining up for free breakfast over at Denny’s >>> THIS SONG!
Ross bodies another track.
“The block done got hotter, the world done got colder, Fuck a diamond chain, we wearing guns on our shoulders.”
How on earth does somebody wear a diamond chain or a gun on their shoulders? Is he talking about one of them Predator shoulder mount guns? I don’t think so.
You can wear a diamond chain or a gun around your neck, but I suppose neck doesn’t rhyme with colder, so you have come up with something passable even if what you are saying is not possible.
you’re thinking too hard Paw. It’s Wayne we’re talking about here lol. It doesn’t always have to “make sense,” the same way a Ghostface or Raekwon line may not make complete 100% sense the first 83x you hear it. To me, his delivery was fluid and what caught my ear. It rhymed, it sounded nice…but no, it won’t be found in the literary section of the SAT exam I don’t suppose.
1st…this beat is horrible
and
2nd…it’s a damn shame to use that sample like that
it’s a damn shame to use that sample like that
=============
Is that Hutch I’m hearing or something different?
They used incorrect grammar a few times, too
rawse!
This is hip-hop, not grammar school.
Gotty-
It’s from War… Slipping Into Darkness
In my honest opinion, they could have did a better job using it. The chops sound ruff, especially on the intro.
@Gotty, true, but I like to visualise lyrics, words form pictures within the minds eye.
I’m listening to The Diary, right about now.
Weezy’s hit & miss w/that aspect. Part of the reason I don’t put him in my top (choose a number). Yeah, delivery & voice play a role in what a rapper is. But you also have to be able to paint a coherent picture.
This is hip-hop, not grammar school.
====================================
If this was, Redman would be failing.
overanalyzing at its finest
the song knocks, birdman’s verse wasn’t even bad like that…yall are overreacting

@quithatinonthesouth, a Dirty Harry style shoulder holster? I still don’t think Wayne had that in mind, he said shoulder in because it rhymes with colder.
Besides, technically speaking you ain’t wearing a gun on your shoulder, literally, even if you got a holster.
How about the part with regards to wearing a chain on your shoulder?
@Paw
some guns have shoulder straps (ex. AK47) and he never said he was wearing a chain on his shoulder…
this is the type of overanalyzing that I was talking about…you’re only confusing yourself…just let the track ride…it’s not that deep
Speaking Baby murdering tracks (and not in a good way
I always think of What Happened to that boy
(Shakes Head in disappointed manner)
Birdman > 40 Glocc

In all honestly i dont think Baby is asked to guest appear on tracks these days, i think he comes into the studio and drops 10 stacks on the mixer and say if you dont add my verse than u cant use my sons verses neither….lol, i mean who, besides Khalid, really excepts Baby to have any ground breaking lyrics….
