A Review of the Singles off of Lil’ Wayne’s Rebirth

Lil’ Wayne is scheduled to release his long-delayed “rock” album at the end of December. Here is a quick recap of the singles that have been released off this soon to be disastrous album. Wayne needs to go back to rapping about Mustang hood scoops and not trying to do emotional rock and roll.

“Prom Queen”

The worst of the bunch and a horrible choice for the first single, this slice of middle-of-the-road rock-rap noodling sounds like Lil’ Wayne auto-tuned singing mixed with Nickelback which is a terrible, terrible combination.

“Hot Revolver”

Another flopped single despite lyrically and melodically sampling Green Day’s “Basket Case” which his record company thought would make this a huge hit, instead it’s a mess of rock-star drums, elementary guitar playing, worthless lyrics and a terrible sounding chorus from Kevin Rudolf. The final version tacked on a actual rapping verse from Lil’ Wayne at the end to appease the complaints of a lack of rapping. It’s still pretty bad.

“On Fire”

This track is actually pretty good, partially saved by a fun reworking of Giorgio Morodor’s 80s synth-based “She’s on Fire” track from the Scarface soundtrack. Lil’ Wayne’s “verses” are little more than random, mumbled nothingness but if you ignore them and listen to Cool and Dre’s great beat you might actually dig this.

“Da Da Da”

Didn’t think it was possible but this is probably the worst of the bunch. Lil’ Wayne reportedly plays bass guitar on this track but no one cares. It’s another mess full of distorted Wayne singing, sludgy, ugly guitar riffs and a complete lack of melody or chorus.
