Rock Star Edition, The (Mixed By DJ Whiteowl/Parental Advisory) [PA] - Lil Wayne

Advantages: Great beats. Consistent.
Disadvantages: Rhymes are weak at times

...they rap about how they both live, and how extravagant their spending is. I thought that it was a strong tune and you really get to hear how the pair differs from most rappers in the way in which they go about rapping, and phrasing the way that they show off their income. **Four Stars** 16. "Snitch" I was rather confused by this one as you have Lil' Wayne taking on some exciting Mannie Fresh beats, however the subject matter of this one contrasted greatly from this as he comes with some raps where he talls on his annoyance for 'snitches' and how he deals with such people.
