Lil Wayne's "Kobe"



This song is kind of a trip when you really think about it. Released on the day of the first game of the NBA Finals, everything about it makes too much sense in a conventional matter. In a post-Weezy F. Baby rap game, isn't convention now the new random declaration of being a Martian? Something about the whole thing seems too forced, Weezy relegating himself to a cold, measured flow to mirror the Black Mamba's ice cold killer instinct, and leaving rap and basketball fans alike bored as hell. We're sure Lakers fans that hang out on Fairfax with Pirates caps on are jerking off to the idea of this, but we're still more in line with the idea of LeBron being the on-court Little Wayne, as both have exhibited a penchant for bending spacetime in their respective fields to get shit done.
