What do you think of Lil Wayne's latest? Does he rock?īelow, the video for a song off of "Rebirth," "On Fire."Ĭopyright ©2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Lil Wayne is not just marching to a different drummer-he's got a whole new band. It's one of the biggest stylistic makeovers in recent memory by a best-selling artist. He's largely transformed his vocal approach and overhauled his beats. While other performers have merely tweaked what they already do for their rock-rap hybrids, Lil Wayne has taken a more radical step. And Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Drake were joined by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker for their group performance. Genre-hopping has become a popular sport among musicians at last night's Grammys, R&B singer Beyonce slipped in a musical nod to rocker Alanis Morissette in her performance. 2, 2010 3:00 am ET Lil Waynes album 'Rebirth' has been postponed, leaked, and dissected in advance of its official release date this week. On "Drop the World," fellow rap superstar Eminem stops by for a guest vocal. On other tracks, he relapses into more hip-hoppy formats "On Fire" is laced with clashing guitars (and Lil Wayne brandishes his axe in the video), but the song still has a kind of danceable beat. "Never forget the day/ she laughed and walked away," he sings, in a rhyme that wouldn't win the weakest of rap battles. On songs like "Prom Queen," on which Lil Wayne mostly sings, he seems to be working awful hard to make the rap-rock mix work, and he leaves behind his much-admired wordplay skills to focus on rocking out.
