Well Lil Wayne, has a song out called "Prom Queen", which may or may not be leaked. (I can't remember.)
Now Lil Wayne decided he wasn't going to do a new Rap album, but rather try his hand in Rock and he even has a whole album coming out later this year.
This guy is one of the most successful rappers out there.
Personally, I don't see why he would make such an insane move.
I'm listening to the new song right now and I must say that it sounds absolutely terrible.
He uses Auto-Tune for the whole song because he obviously can't sing and the whole song is just atrocious.
I never liked his music to begin with, so perhaps I'm being biased, but I can't help it.
You would think that something like this would be career suicide, but I'm sure this album will be extremely successful because all the masses will buy it just because it's Lil Wayne.
Here's a link to the song:

What are your thoughts on "Prom Queen" or Weezy doing rock in general?
I hope it sells well, then he'll stop polluting my rap and hip-hop music with his auto-poop.
Very few people can use the auto-tune and make it sound good.
I've heard the song, and honestly I expected it to be alot worse than it was. He actually did an alright job on that song. Hopefully the rest of the album is just as...decent?
It's #2 on iTunes Top 100. Why am I not surprised?
Whether it's crap or not, it's gonna sell well just because it's him.
I got the "404" in the link.

God...I regret posting it now...he could also take a lesson from Duane & Brando (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8rm5peotiA&feature=channel_page)
At least he's trying something different...I guess?:\
Fuck, I knew I shouldn't have clicked the link. Ugh...my ears are bleeding.
Meh, it's not all that bad. I just wish his voice sounded more natural.
I just plain hate Lil Wayne.
End of discussion.

His voice sounds unnatural with or without auto-tune.
...
Really, I can't think of anything to say about how I feel.
And he's using Autotune?
Yeah, no.
