Obviously the relationship these two share may not be as big as Jay-Z/Kanye, Cam’ron/f’n everyone at Dipset, or any of that Rolling Stone cover story malarkey. The themes of actual maternity ran through the laser that burned each and every copy of this album. The duo keep each song fresh, meshing a good array of beats- anything from jazzy horns to sizzling guitar solos- along with the typical selection of other chart topping pals to play sing-a-long for the honor of being featured on the back of the album.
Never mind that this kid "finds" a new Ipod practically every day.īirdman and Weezy can hook plenty of people just on the druggy 4:20 lyrics, but they decided against just crapping in a jewel case and showcased that both of them can competently spit their game. It’s practically theme music for every kid you’ve ever met in your drug counseling group who tried to sell you the chain on his neck for some cash to re-up. And that’s the draw, white kids who can hardly take a hit from the smallest oddball MacGyver’d device in the world can hear what the big boys do with kilos of kine bud. Speaking of quarters, that’s probably the amount of marijuana that Weezy and Birdman were smoking (per L) when they mused up the lyrics of pretty much every song on Like Father, Like Son, bridging the “smoke that chron” gap universally.Īnd even if the songs don’t directly reference smoking weed- and almost all of them really do, most notably “Over Here Hustlin’,” “1st Key,” “High,” “Cali Dro,” which all bring to mind thoughts of simply pasting the track list here- there’s at LEAST a line thrown in there about it on every track. Check my “stunna shades,” “youz a stunna bisssh,” even “stunna spinnas.” That slang is ingrained in it’s 15 minutes of Myspace exposure, with no end to the quarter in sight. I mean, even Chris Rock acknowledges that he admires “daddy’s that handle their sh it.” And he’s a pretty good judge of hip-hop. I mean, you can’t really fault a guy for looking up to his father. It bridges the gap between wigger Billboard rap, pass that sh it rap, and pass that sh it while I kill these bitches rap. Certainly this pair aren’t even blood relations, but hey, I’m sure at least one ghetto superstar teenager questioned it.īut seriously- how could you blame them? “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” was a powerful single. So the duo play urban White Stripes and make an album called Like Father, Like Son.
It really was kicked alongside a certain little birdie. Do you know how many mix tapes, singles, videos, awards shows, and arraignments this guy has entertained in over the past year and a half? Or all the ones he’s produced. To be quite blunt, Lil’ Wayne is the busiest motherf ucker in the hip-hop business. Just showed back up under my edit reviews thing, so I'm submitting it again because fuck this site. âI want it to be my farewell thing.Review Summary: I wrote this a couple years ago, submitted it, and then it bugged out.
âI would like to do a Father Son 2," Birdman said. In fact, they even discussed the possibility of doing a follow-up to their 2006 joint album, Like Father, Like Son. âI like to make rappers.âĭespite the tension present in their relationship over the years caused by legal issues, the former Cash Money colleagues appear to be on much better terms now. During their chat, Baby discussed his plans for retirement, explaining that he was more than ready to put his rap career behind him. âIâm done rapping, rapping ain't for me no more,â he told Weezy. For the finale of Young Money Radio's inaugural season, Lil Wayne invited his father figure, Birdman, to join him as a guest, along with Chris Brown, August Alsina, and more. Prepare yourself: Life Father, Like Son 2 could be on the way soon. Birdman chopped it up with his old friend, Lil Wayne, on "Young Money Radio," where they discussed doing a sequel to "Like Father, Like Son" before Baby retires.
