Lil Wayne - Lights Out (2000)

Damn it.

Just a year later, Lil Wayne is back with basically the same album as "Tha Block is Hot", same quality of poverty mixtape beats with pretty much nonstop lyrics about hustling on the block, which I have no doubt at all he's lived for a good majority of his life at that point, but you'd have to hold me at gunpoint to get me to listen to more than two songs in succession in a single listening session again. That's the TRUTH!

That being said, the track "Everything" about Lil Wayne's dead stepfather is very heartfelt and touching, with genuine emotion in his voice as if he's close to tears with every word, leaving this as a small gem in a field of a bunch of other songs with no real meaning other than to hustle shit, fuck bitches and shoot motherfuckers, just like your standard Sarah McLachlan tune. In the arms of an angel?! That's where you'll be after Sarah 'McGlocklin' McLachlan empties this clip!! BLAT BLAT BLAT

5/10
