As I think about it, Lil Wayne created ‘mumble rap.’
I’m going to keep it 100 with you: Lil Wayne has been hit-or-miss these last couple of years. While Carter V had a bunch of hits, Sleepless is an absolute miss, to me.
Sleepless is powered by this futuristic instrumental that has some serious bass attached to it. Over this instrumental, Lil Wayne rambles about witches, angels, demons, Bengals, kittens, mistresses, physicians, and sleep apnea (WTF, right?).
On the real, if I didn’t think Wayne was a top 3 rapper of all-time, I would’ve turned Sleepless off by the first verse.
OVERALL RATING (?)
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
