One minute he’s doing a rock album. The next minute, he’s not. A nigga just get confuuused. While I get my mind right, the good folks at 1515 Broadway got their grubby hands on an excerpt from Wayne’s RS cover:
“Honestly? I don’t want to be the best rapper in the world. If I have a
rap album I’m dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album. But I
want to be the best. Period. Now. My favorite rapper hasn’t done what
I’m doing.”
“The rock sh– just comes from what my life is now. I’ve grown
into this person. I woke up one morning and
had three or four women in my bed where I not only didn’t know their
last names, I didn’t know the beginning letter of their first names.
All I know is, they’re the most beautiful women in the world, and I was
in my own place, in whatever city I was in. And I could have thrown a
dart at the map, and I’d probably have a place there too. I knew my
driver was waiting downstairs for me. When my nose finally cleared from
all the weed I had smoked, I smelled food in the kitchen and I knew it
was my chef. Then I look on my phone and see a message and know it’s
from a popular woman everyone knows. And when I went in the studio that
night, I couldn’t just rap…”
This must’ve been after the Carter 2, cause he hasn’t been able to rap since.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
