Lil Wayne comes on as hard as can be on 500 DEGREEZ, throwing gangsta imagery around like Rip Taylor with a fresh supply of confetti. Still, no matter how strenuously he underscores his gangsta themes on such representative tracks as "Gangsta S***," "F*** You," and "Way of Life," his hard-hitting approach is offset by a subtle-yet-undeniable sense of humor. For one thing, there's Wayne's voice itself, which at its most vituperative has echoes of Eminem's Jerry Lewis-isms. Then there's the production, which is laced throughout with goofy ensemble vocals and synth riffs that bespeak a deep devotion to the street-cred quirk of George Clinton. Such guests as Baby, Big Tymers, and TQ are on hand to bolster Wayne's hard-as-nails image, but he still can't hide the sly grin behind his thug-life frown.
Along with fellow Cash Money Click labelmate Juvenile, Lil Wayne is one of the most important MCs in the unfairly overlooked early 21st-century New Orleans rap scene. Blunt ghetto narratives about the hustler's life and woozy nearly psychedelic free associations fill Wayne's albums, but it's his allegiance to his home town that makes him a unique and forceful presence in hip-hop, and an important reminder that there is more to the Big Easy than Fats Domino and Dr. John.
