Lil Wayne is currently in jail for possession of a weapon while on his tour bus, he is being released from jail this week. The type of music he sings is classified as rap music. The “feel” of his songs are meant to make you think about life in general. Lil Wayne’s songs are a faster type of singing compared to some other singers. He also uses real life situations that he has been through during his lifetime while he is producing his music. Some people say he sings so fast that sometimes they cannot understand what he is saying; others would have to disagree with this. One of his lyrics that are memorable would be his solo in the song “down” that features him. This is because during his solo he sings about real life events that are happening in the world today. For example when he says “And honestly, I’m down like the economy” this is just like how the world’s economy is down from what it really should be. Lyrics like this are the ones that really get you thinking about different things. While Lil Wayne has been in jail he recently released a letter that he had written about his life, kids, release from jail, and music. Most people commented on the letter saying how they are glad that he is getting released from jail soon and that they are especially glad that he has been thinking about his kids and music. I agree with many of these opinions about his letter. I also am glad that he is being released this week and am looking forward to hearing his new mixtape that he is going to be releasing soon. Also about his kids, I am happy for him and that he is thinking about them as well. My overall opinion about his music is that its great music but most of all it’s for young teenagers to enjoy. His music is definitely worth buying if you enjoy the kind of music he is producing these days. Lil Wayne’s music is also good for opening your mind to think about things, so if you like to think his music is perfect for you! The main reasons I listen to his music is because I like him overall and his music allows me to get pumped up for game days.
