It's hard for him to lose with those 2 tracks they are both very good joints instrumentally, I mean myself I am most definitely in no way feeling Lil Wayne, I think it was an accident that he gained the status that he has to date, there are so many rappers out here with much more artistic skill, swagger, content and ability that just didn't get the breaks, oh well but we all know that is pretty much how a lot of things in the industry happen, my younger sister that is now like 21 was bananas about him when he first came out I think a lot of the buzz came from the females to be honest btw she is born and raised in Miami and she has a bias to that sound even after moving up to DC a few years ago.
I do see shades of talent when he raps but then I hear him rapping on some records show absolutely no skill or ability to write consistent songs, and to be honest to date that sort of performance is more par for the course than something epic or classic, especially when making judgements based upon what I have heard from the records that I painfully brought myself to listen to, searching for what is it about this artist that have made the buzz about the world of hip hop.
Anyhow I predict these songs will be winners for him though, based on the overall dopeness of each of the cuts, it would be hard for any reasonable emcee to lose on these even using the emergency room concept which if I am not mistaken may have been used before, but that cut thats on the radio where he is using Rakim metaphors and lines is just total garbage.
