Lil’ Wayne’s Da Drought 3 mixtape got on my radar yesterday morning. Last night it made it’s way into my top ten list. I know, I know: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Maybe it’s this year’s Fishscale or Hell Hath No Fury. Call me a tokenist, but I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that hiphop is drying up. Hell, Ryan Dombal’s review of Weezy’s mixtape says as much [and so do several other critics] and I’m inclined to agree.
Now that I’m listening to pretty much everything that comes down the pike as far as major label releases go, it’s a desert. I’m looking for that oasis, but I’ll take an oil well in a pinch.
But don’t take my word for it. Discover it yourself.
