We would not have expected ever, to read the word Featuring between Lil Wayne’s name and Jahseh, but we had the surprise earlier tonight to witness the industry’s ways.
Tha Carter V may have been the most heavily anticipated and postponed album of the decade and its release is still uncertain. While fans grew to believe “Tha Carter V” would end up like Detox; a piece of hip-hop history that would never see the light of day. Things have worked out for Tunechi’s fans though when the project was finally set free.
While journalism isn’t about personal opinion but more information oriented, we can’t help but strongly react to this trend which promotes posthumous collaboration, as if there were an afterlife market for artist whom could treat themselves with a collaboration of dead artists.
After “Falling Down”, which is a sumptuous up-tempoed track with Lil Peep and XXXTentation released after the passed away, few artists tried their hands at releasing posthumous collaboration.
As surprisingly as it can sound, Lil Wayne’s song is a thought and uncompromising tribute to the missed artist, a mausoleum for the New Orleans artist to gather and hold a special remembrance to the too early gone talent.
However, what is more intriguing is that Wayne refuses to acknowledge the young rapper. Disturbing, that the Best rapper alive isn’t aware of the hottest ast in the industry, especially one who has been beefing a year before with one of his artists, none other than Drake, on a mainstream level.
What could supposedly explain his position, was the late lyrics to “I’m upset”, which could allegedly tie the Canadian rapper to XXXTentacion’s murder.
Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
