Riff: Lil Wayne – “London Roads”

Jul 6, 2015

All I know is paper, I don’t know these hoes/I like mouth in my lap, and pussy on my nose/And I’m bringin’ home the bacon, it’s fryin’ on the stove/You hoes can’t drive me crazy, keep your eyes on the road

from London Roads lyrics by Lil Wayne

Slow, meticulous and faded beyond all measure, a complete rip of A$AP Rocky‘s style. Old man Wayne has little left in the tank and is scrambling to stay relevant. In the process he’s shamelessly biting, which is only tainting his legacy like Michael Jordan wearing a Washington Wizards jersey.
