He breaks records, I make records…umm?

That would be my dismal non-attempt at offering an opening line to the Lil’ Wayne tribute rap for Usain Bolt. The song is probably already in production – probably already in post-production considering the news that Bolt is a fan of Weezy came out hours ago.

From Mixtape Daily and Nah Right…

“When I was in the Olympics,” he told us, “I didn’t really listen to music. During the Olympics, it was mainly reggae, a little hip-hop. But I like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, those guys. That’s who we listen to in Jamaica. A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it’s hot, we got it.” [...]


“Right now, it’s Lil Wayne, #1,” he said. “He’s hot. He’s got everything. He sings the right tunes. I’m seriously listening to all his songs right now. Really sitting down, listening to his lyrics, and he’s got his lyrics [down] pat now. He’s got his lyrics. He’s coming up like Jay-Z. He’s smooth. He’s got a different flow from Jay-Z, but lyrics-wise, he’s got it. He’s a lyricist. Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, I don’t care who comes third. These guys have the whole place on edge, man. It’s hot.”

He run fast, Weezy gets cash…

Geez, I am a wack MC. Can you think of anything better? Doesn’t matter. Wayne’s already dashed his way in and out of the studio. It’s probably on like 7 mixtapes by now.

Speaking of, How did Mixtape Daily get an interview with Usain Bolt?

Special bonus post today, because this is the coolest thing I’ve seen all week.

H/T to Nah Right for posting this first. Rapper Skillz recaps the five illustrious seasons of The Wire in a single five minute – 678 bars, approximate – verse. Hell yeah.

Even though I’ve pretty much fazed video games out of my life, I can appreciate this. EA and NBA 2K9 announced a concert tour this week, that will feature a troupe of rap artists touring in support of the new game.

Go to Pitchfork and check out the tour dates; whether you’re a premiere team in the West or a mediocre team in the East (or you live in Aspen), they should be coming to a town near you. Check out some of the artists that’ll be seen on the 2K Sports Bounce Tour….

The 2K Bounce Tour kicks off November 5 in the Cool Kids hometown of Chicago
