Rumor has it that Weezy is finally off the syrup. Everybody who’s into hip-hop knows that Wayne is rarely seen without his Styrofoam cup and then there’s all the lines in his songs to back it up like, “I like my Sprite Easter pink”. But really he never denied it and I once heard him describing the withdrawal symptoms as feeling like “death in your stomach”. Anyway if he is off the garbage I gotta give him his props. If I just sold three million records and was on top of the hip-hop world I would want to make sure that I’m here to spend all that paper too.

 But I gotta step off the news and rumors for a second here. At first I wasn’t a Weezy fan at all but I admit he grew on me and I started bumpin’ “Lollipop” more than a 13-year-old girl from New Orleans. But my question is this; do ya’ll think Wayne could ever put together a fully comprehensive album a la Illmatic or Reasonable Doubt? I don’t know if he can and I’m gonna tell you why. I feel like Wayne runs out of things to say. I feel like his verses start off incredibly strong and then he fades off into gibberish and mumbling that have nothing to do with what he’s talking about. I’ve heard him switch topics from Katrina to fuckin’ bitches in the blink of an eye.

The “Lollipop” remix started off bangin’ but then Wayne went into his no man’s land of rhymes that make no sense. I mean I understand he doesn’t write but if his lack of writing is causing this problem then I would just pick up a pen and get to it. I think if Wayne started writing again his music would be that much better? But you gotta give it to the guy; he keeps Baby on top of the game without him really doing shit. I mean I doubt he has anything to do with Wayne’s music. So he probably sits around and does a little marketing but man Baby owes Wayne a lot. Wayne made himself the hottest artist in the game through a ridiculous work ethic and non-stop grind and Baby just gets to sit back and reap the benefits for Cash Money Records, which without Wayne would probably be distributed by Koch right now.

Wayne is one dude who can definitely say he’s carrying a label. Another thing I’m kind of curious to see is how the whole Young Money movement is going to unfold. There’s Jae Millz, Tyga, Mack Maine and a bunch of others that are supposedly down like Corey Gunz. The rumors are flying however that Nicki Minaj is not messing with them anymore which is a damn shame because I think she might be the prettiest female rapper ever to tough a mic, seriously that girl is bad. Anyway folks I hope you enjoyed this all Lil Wayne edition of Jonny Boy Speaks. Take care and be safe in all that you do. Peace and love. I’m out ‘til I’m back.
