A Year of Lil Wayne: “Please Say the Baby”

Day 156: “Please Say the Baby” feat. Mack Maine –  The Dedication , 2005

To follow up on yesterday’s post about The Dedication, how great is Wayne’s flow on this first verse? “I’m a pimmmp / I even got a little swagger in my limmmp”? It sounds so natural.

On another note, how crazy is it to hear Don Cannon’s tag all over this? And to think that 12 years ago he was helping take Lil Wayne’s career to another level? Now, 12 years later, he’s also masterminding Lil Uzi Vert’s career. The proto-rock star rapper literally laid the blueprint for the latest “rock star.” Never underestimate Wayne’s reach.
