“The banned man with a band” sounds cool but I don’t see it.

Looks like they dealt my nigga Da Snowman a bad hand.

Here’s some new material courtesy of Dwayne Carter and Just Blaze. Wayne’s ‘phors and similes are intact, but that flow? Not so much. I think it’s time for an intervention.

Props: X-Man

Bonus: Weezy salutes the Notorious One.

Update: My fellow half-Black hit me with the official version of his song that LowKey leaked today.

Mr. Thanksgiving says:

The leaked version was the version before I did hooks. And I broke up his verses. I named it million dollar baby cuz I’m wayne’s boxing coach on the song and its a three round fight. bells and all. Just blaze was gonna be the announcer at end but we never finished it.

Unfortunately, Lil Wayne is still fiddlin’ around with his guitar. At last night’s show in Scranton, Birdman Jr. went from butcherin’ Run-DMC’s classic to his own rocker “Prom Queen.” You remember that song? That was the lead single off The Rebirth. You know? The album that’s never comin’ out.

Bonus: Karen Civil went to the show last night and you didn’t.
