Track: I'm Single
Album: No Ceilings
Artist: Lil' Wayne
Randy: A feature of his 2009 mixtape, No Ceilings, Weezy/Lil' Weezy/Weezy F. Baby grates his way onto Dinosaur Jury once again, largely due to the release of a mixed-lo-fi-and-stock-model-footage video. Tired as I am of this guy's prolificacy, I'm oh so pleasantly surprised by I'm Single's heavy-lidded, REM-sleep instrumental and lean-back attitude. Verdict: [B+]
Kyle: Lil' Wayne breaks new sonic ground with this R&B snoozer, backed by an instrumental track so hypnotic and slow it sounds like it's actually running backward. Sighing, synthetic muted brass tones cast a depressing shadow over the entire song, even as Weezy lays out his exploits in terms like "I falls in that p*ssy like quicksand." I'm not used to Wayne putting me to sleep, much less breaking my heart, but he succeeds in doing both in this relationship dirge disguised as an anthem to philandering. Verdict: [B+]
