Question of the day: What do Lil' Wayne and Andre 3000 have in common?


Personally, we're inclined to say "not much," but Miami hit-makers Cool and Dre (The Game, Christina Milian) dared to make the comparison in the above interview with MTV yesterday.

The video gives some fairly persuasive insight into Wayne's forthcoming, much-debated "don't-call-it-a-rock-record" rock record, Rebirth (even if the two producers are clearly trying to sell their own work).

So, should we cynics ease back and give Wayne the same license to rock that Three Stacks and Big Boi earned with albums like Aquemini, Stankonia and The Love Below? Or do songs like "Prom Queen" and "Hot Revolver" merely reaffirm the conventional wisdom about rappers and their abysmal taste in "rock music?"

I have no words...how can u compare some of that genius shit that Andre did with this destined-to-fail "rock" album? I only know a little about rock, and I know he can't do it well LOL...Andre is innovative, Wayne isn't doing anything new...

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
