“I made her say
Hold up, born in 88′
How old is that? Old enough
I got seniority with the sorority
So, that explain why I love college
Gettin’ brain in the library cause I love knowledge
When you use your Medulla Oblongata
And give me scoliosis until I comatoses
And do it while I sleep yeah a little osmosis
And that’s my commandment you ain’t gotta ask Moses
More champagne more toast’es
More damn planes, more coast’es
And f@#k a bus, the Benz is parked like Rosa osa”

The comments from the blog where I found it were pretty harsh. Mostly calling game a weak pussy, but I really like the track so fuck them. ALSO this song it turns out is a remake of the below Philly’s Most Wanted track Favorite Part: I love songs with interplay bewtween the verses and hook/sample, songs like Brand New by Rhymefest. This song is a prime example of this feature and it’s probably the main reason I like the song. I also really just like the sample its of an older era and I just like it.

LilWayne-OnFire.mp3 (to download right click and “save link as”) About Artist: Lil Wayne, again what more can I say. He’s super mainstream nowadays but still has a hardcore underground following which rejoiced at his recent mixtape “No Ceilings” which is a must download item. About Song: This is song is a single off of his new album Rebirth. This album has a long story behind it. Orignally conceived as a rock album where Lil Wayne would jump across genres, the label continually delayed the album (like more than 4 times). The album then leaked when Amazon.com accidentally shipped pre-order copies on an old released date. With the nightmare of the full album leaked rumors circulated that lil Wayne would re-record the album with new songs before it was officially released, or that it would be part of a double disc with “We Are Young Money”. However this did not happen and the album was released without much hype on Feb 2 2010. The album does have a lot of guitar and other instrumentals but it isn’t really rock (like blakroc) and instead is just some random pop/hop tracks. People expected the album to suck, it kinda does. Other: This song is very popular for being on this blog but it’s pretty catchy. ALSO let me know what your favorite no ceilings track is. I know my boy B, loves Watch My Shoes, I like Wasted.
