New Orleans’ MC champion Lil Wayne has an infectious one with Detroit underground-com-pop-raper Eminem on ‘Drop The World’. Eminem’s frequent pop-parody raps have made him more pop-than-pop like a US Weekly magazine—but still, the man’s got talent and now-and-then pulls off something really special that reminds me why I used to excuse myself on going out Saturday nights to to listen to him spit over KMEL. Eminem’s new album, Relapse:Refill’ drops on December 21st. On this track, who shines, Wayne or Em? I know that chorus by Wayne has been in my head all day. This is probably the least “rock” song on his “rock” album, the rest: Hella autotune.

That one keeps it DOA. But tell me this song ain’t cool as fuck and ain’t hella punk rock too, and on of the more au nautral vocal tracks.

Software says ‘Drop The World’ is 145 BPM, but in actuality, it’s more like 73 BPM (half). But the that always allows some hype club remixes. Speaking of which, here’s a few remixes of Wayne tracks in the club vein. Once comes from L.A.’s own (or Glendale’s own), Flying Lotus, that was dropped on his crew Brainfeeder’s blog December 1st. Grab the whole thing at Brainfeedersite.com, which includes two Weezy mixes and instrumentals “for the heads”. My favorite take is Fly Lo’s take on ‘I Feel Like Dying’ that was originally released on The Empire’s ‘Drought Is Over Pt.2′ mixtape. This track has a vocal sample from folk singer Karma-Ann Swanepoel’s song “Once”, that Lil Wayne was sued over. Apparently, Swanepoel doesn’t understand mixtape, sampling and remix culture.

Lil Wayne—or as they say in court, defendant Dwayne Carter—pleaded guilty to weapon charges back in October for a the gun found on his tourbus by New York police in 2007. Lil Wayne, in accordance to his guilty plea will serve a year long prison sentence beginning February 9, which is just a week after the scheduled release of his upcoming rock album, ‘Rebirth’ from which the song above is taken.

The album is currently scheduled for February 1st release and is available for pre-order on Amazon now. The much anticipated, much delayed album has had a half-dozen scheduled release dates as early as April 7th. A December 18th, then 21st, release was scheduled before being pushed back, once again. However, I suspect the release date might be brought for once, as 500 ‘Rebirth’ albums sold through Amazon pre-order have accidentally shipped to Lil Wayne fans due to a shipping and release date snafu. These accidental CD sales arrived in mailboxes beginning last Monday—days ahead of the prior release date and months ahead of the current release date. Due to this error at Amazon, leaks are sure to flood the internet in the coming weeks. If pirated copies are the only option for consumers, Lil Wayne—and his record labels—will lose out. MTV chimes in on what this all means and options available, as does Billboard for a industry perspective.

If you want more and you’re feeling frugal, and don’t want to lurk in pirate waters, I highly suggest grabbing Weezy’s recent free mixtape, ‘No Ceilings’. Something that’s been on repeat in my house. It can be had by clicking-through to Mediafire.
