No 50

[BrainsGambino]

No Fifty. No Dre verse. No D12. Yet Lil' Wayne, the man who cannot for the life of him string together some semblance of a complex rap, the man who destroyed the art form that Eminem perfected, the singing, whining, crying little fellow who wouldn't know multisyllabic structure if it slapped him in his cackling little face, is not only featured on the album, but also sort of revered on it. Oh and uh ... Pink is on the album as well (which boggles the mind).

But at least he spared us a Drake collab.

[ChronicJon]

Wayne is dope. Get the fuck outta here.

if u would have put 50 on No Love shit would have killed te vibe. Wayne put it in that verse and added a nice touch to Recovery. Besides, go listen to the last two albums if you wanna here 50. Wayne gets 'No Love'

[GenePeer]

have you actually heard the song? i'm glad that there's only one rap feature!

imo 50=wayne sometimes 50<>Wayne depending on the track
in this case, waynes flow/music style worked really well

[shadybaby46]

I'm glad 50 wasn't on there ... he hasn't made a good verse in years.


Wayne > 50 at this point

[BrainsGambino]

Were you not shocked by the Talkin' to Myself line where Em says he would have gotten his ass handed to him or whatever, if he would have dissed lil Wayne? A drug-addled, depressed Eminem would saw that talentless anti-melodic cacophone in half any day. I'm just so shocked and angered by that line. It's just so mind-blowing. What the hell is he talking about?

GOD I wish he would have made that record.

[classthe_king]

I love how everyone hates Lil Wayne and now he does a song on Em's album and they love him

[Tash8]

so the guy you hate on so much...could possibly have one of the best verses on Recovery..and you're still hating?

So i met this shawty the otha day
I got her number called her up like what you doin she said nothin
I said whats good
She said not much
I said guess what?
She said whats up
I said i think we should hook up
She said uhh
I said what?
She said but
I said but? why you stuck?
She said f**k
I said who?
She said not you
I said then who?
She said you know
I know what?
You know who
I said i do?
She said you do

End of discussion. Or should I dig deeper into his fantastically monosyllabic, rarely-rhyming catalog?

what does that have anything to do with this verse:

Throw dirt on me and grow a wildflower
But it's "fuck the world", get a child out her
Yeah, my life a bitch, but you know nothing bout her
Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers
I'm rolling Sweets, I'm smoking sour
Married to the game but she broke her vows
That's why my bars are full of broken bottles
And my night stands are full of open Bibles
I think about more than I forget
But I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat
And these ***** know I lay them down, make their bed
Bitches try to kick me while I'm down: I'll break your leg
Money outweighing problems on the triple beam
I'm sticking to the script, you ***** skipping scenes
Be good or be good at it
Fucking right I've got my gun, semi-Cartermatic
Yeah, put a dick in their mouth, so I guess it's "fuck what they say"
I'm high as a bitch: up, up and away
Man, I come down in a couple of days
OK, you want me up in the cage, then I'll come out in beast mode
I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the G-code
It's Weezy motherfucker, blood gang and I'm in bleed mode
All about my dough but I don't even check the peephole
So you can keep knocking but won't knock me down
No love lost, no love found

[Spyder]

I love how everyone hates Lil Wayne and now he does a song on Em's album and they love him

still hate him


and verse wasnt good at all, the DTW from his was better

[AnalKiddo]

I gave wayne my respect when he did DTW, and i give him more now.. although i did like a few tracks off Carter 3 and a few songs off Rebirth (although everyone hated it i actually liked it a little lol); but we won't be hearing much from him for a good year lol, :y

First four lines, absolutely no internal rhyme scheme, like it's the motherfucking LATE SEVENTIES. Then for some reason he begins the next bar with the same, one-rhyme-at-the-end-of-the-line bullshit as the first bar, which is fine, but after that first line he immediately CEASES TO RHYME. If you're going to use the forced "vows" metaphor in that line, why use "sour" before it. Sour does not rhyme with vows no matter how hard he tries to contort the delivery. Bottles and Bibles is also forced, but fine. Think about more than I forget shit has been used countless times in far more creative ways. And once again he's back to rhyming once at the end of every bar, something Em even sneers at in one of the other tracks on this album. The only two lines that really connected from then on out were the up up and away, come down in a few days, and the flow was absent.

Simplistic shit, and it still happens to be one of his best verses since he blew up. I was a fan through Go DJ. Then he mysteriously forgot how to rap ENTIRELY.
