Dewayne “Lil Wayne” Carter recently released his critically acclaimed follow up mixtape, titled “Sorry for the Wait 2” ,which serves as a prelude to his delayed and highly anticipated album “Tha Carter V”. The mixtape presents a variety of popular beats and features. This is Lil’ Wayne’s most celebrated project since the first installment of the “Sorry for the Wait” series. The first song on the project, a remix to O.T Genasis’ street anthem “Coco”, is one of the most hyped songs on the project. The beginning of the instrumental is a dark presence reminiscent of classic Lil Wayne mixtape intros such as “Get Em” (The Dedication 2).
The song has been “spot lighted” by the media,because of the comments foreshadowing his departure from his long time label Cash Money. The mixtape was released after “Tha Carter V” was postponed yet again after numerous rumored release dates. The mixtape is riddled with rhymes reinforcing the statements that were announced via lil wayne’s twitter early this month. “All I have is Young Money no more Cash” is one of the first comments validating the opinions wayne made via social media. The first song was “leaked” to the public. The song covers Future’s bass filled single “Sh!t”, apologizing to the fans while enthusiastically reciting his lyrics in the traditional Lil’ Wayne fashion. Other tracks that stand out include “non-industry” remakes of the work entitled “Used To” featuring Drake. The songs’ premise is just what the title depicts as Young Money label mate Drake voices his opinion on reminding people he is still one of the top MCs’ in the game as he exclaims: “When you get to where I’m at you have to remind them of where you at,” said Wayne. The instrumental is structured with deep bass and could be considered a possible “club banger” as the mixtape gains more notoriety with the masses. Wayne takes time to respond to the critics surrounding his incarceration in 2010 for a loaded firearm on his tour bus saying “When they say you’re too famous to pack a ghat, I have to remind them of where I’m from”.
Other original, non-cover songs, on the mixtape include: Amazing Amy featuring Migos, HollyWeezy, Fingers hurting, and Admit it featuring SNL. The final track on the mixtape (excluding the bonus track with the Migos) Lil Wayne adds his rendition of Meek Mill’s popular intro to his album “Dreams and Nightmares”. In this particular track he once again addresses critics and skeptics of his recent projects as far the quality of his music as he vocalized “yall told me to me to spit /now I’m drooling on my chain/now yall looking like what happened to Wayne. “Sorry for the Wait 2” gives fans a much-needed prequel to hold them over until the problem within Cash Money is solved. From the beginning to the end of the mixtape Lil Wayne addresses many issues and conflicts that the critics and the media have been asking Lil Wayne while showing his fans that he can still “spit” with the best in the industry. If you are a true Wayne fan this project is a must -own as he gives the public the vintage “rhymer” they’ve been asking for since “Tha Carter 3”.
