Lil wayne knockout chords
Previously, Wayne had stuck to his lane of making real hip hop, but with this song, he puts that aside for the most part. I have to say this track was definitely a huge artistic risk for Wayne. Track 2 - Prom Queen - This song is the most shit on song of the album. I can really get into this song, as it has a lot going on at once to keep my interest (drums, wayne harmonizing, the hook). The bridge leads to a kind of buildup, very interesting imo. This kind of autotune usage (i'm aware that this album isn't the first time it's been used like this) led to present artists such as young thug. The harmonizing before the 2nd hook is incredible too. I love the harmonizing Wayne starts right before the first hook. Wayne comes out swinging on this track with the guitar solo. Track 1 - American Star - Solid intro track. To quote the sample in a Kanye West song, “He’ll give us what we need, it may not be what we want” A well executed album by a GOAT, but dismissed because of how different/underwhelming it was to the hype. This album falls in the same category as “Kingdom Come” by Jay Z.
I'm gonna try to refrain from using smilies to make this easier to read for you guys, because I fully believe this is at least worth a listen. Mods, PM me if you have any problems with this, I legitimately love this album and I feel like it gets brushed aside far too often. Prior to this album, I had never imagined autotune over rock music. As most of us agree, autotune is a vastly underrated instrument/effect. Wayne did something with this album that had never been done before. But, I have a lot of respect for him taking that artistic risk to get out of his lane. Cudi did it, but in my opinion, didn't do it well. He was willing to take artistic risk to make something great. He got out of his comfort zone, of rap music. Lil Wayne changed up his lane with this album. In my opinion, this album is a solid 9//10. But, I disagree with many of the criticisms.
