mixtape maestro (2.0)

With so much attention (and question mark keys) centered on the confusingly still-set-for-release Rebirth, and polished leaks recently emerging from that long-awaited Juelz Santana/ Lil’ Wayne mixtape, we had almost forgot about that whole T-Wayne side deal that had started lighting up the blog circuit last fall. Newly un-earthed cut “He Raps, He Sings, It’s T-Wayne” serves the latest hint that that project is still on the horizon.

Here, the two flip their already-blurred positions over a generic, yet effective, back beat with T-Pain rapping an admittedly sturdy opening verse filled with goofy ménage à trois banter and faux-gangsta threats, and Wayne holding up the back-end with more of that ear-aching, Auto-Tuned gibberish-noise (We’ll gladly pay $100 to anyone that can take that damn thing from him!!!).

It’s nothing truly mind-blowing, but “He Raps…” still accomplishes enough to keep anticipation for this Best of Both Worlds-styled union alive.
