Lil’ Wayne featuring Pharrell “Yes”
“Do you really think you’re better than the rest?/…Bitch, I’m the best!!” Weezy punctuates the final verse of his latest leakage, the Pharrell collabo “Yes” (props to the NMC). And while we would love to start off the new year not being as mesmerized by this shamelessly over-exposed mic king, we’re going to have to go ahead and agree with his conceited claim, at least for this tune.
“Yes” is a relentless barrage of handclaps, low-rumbling space-age grimace, and Chuck D-as-hype-man vocal samples that still gives Wayne the needed room to dish out more of his wicked one-liners, winding word-play and newly invented slang (We’ve adopted “panty pie” as our new term of the month). Even Pharrell, in an abbreviated intro cameo, manages to pull off a winning line about naming his ride “Tonto” (though let’s not confuse anyone into thinking that an In My Mind Part Deux is needed).
Our lone complaint: That Clipse weren’t allowed to murder this beat first.
