In the 1980 film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining, Danny Torrance warned his mother, Wendy, that the patriarch, Jack, was about to go postal with eerie repetitions of the word “redrum.”  Now, twenty-nine years later, Lil Wayne‘s on a (figurative) bloody rampage through the music industry; after watching Tha Carter III go double-plat and receiving eight Grammy nominations (plus 14 Best of the Booth nominations), he’s currently getting ready for the release of Carter III: The Rebirth, to be followed by Carters IV and V, with a rock album to be released sometime in between all of these. For now, here’s Weezy with the previously-unreleased Red Rum.  Though it’s unknown which (if any) disc this is attached to, Cool & Dre‘s beat and the interpolation of a 4-bar set from Biggie‘s The World Is Filled (famously used by Jay-Z on I Just Wanna Love U) sets the perfect mood for Wayne to do what comes naturally to him.  After all, all work and no play makes Weezy a dull boy.

I was feelin Yes more than this one. I like the energy here and Dre's beat was fire, but I liked the harder track more this time. Still a solid 3 though, these songs are nowhere near C3 status.

I believe that this is one of the best songs I have heard from Dre in a while in my opinion. This is also on his new mixtape. Waynes lyrics are wack though...

This song bangs despite any flaws lyrics wise...
Cool&Dre;, alongside The Runners, run this game when it comes to banging beats! It's not about how loud you play it, it's all in the features which are smartly used, they have that ear for this kind of music.
Wayne had an entertaining delivery (yeah DEEZUL, it's not that we don't know he sounds weird... some of us just happen to like his crazy approach! It's better than the majority of rapper's monotonous flows today who express no emotion.) but I'd like to hear better lyrics

Lil Wayne + Cool&Dre; = banger!
Everything about this song is hard. The beat is nice and Dre helped out the song a little bit too. Nice flow..only thing is why did he say "I need a whore to be gay"...kinda suspicious but im guessing he meant that he likes his girls lesbian. Anyway, this song is hot. Much better than Yes ft. Pharrell. Blazing fire right here!!

I enjoy Lil Wayne. I think the world of Cool & Dre. I enjoy drinking rum (responsibly) with some Coke (the drink).

... I do not really like this song, though. Please convince me I am wrong if you feel obligated to do so...

All I can say is, Wayne is still a little over-rated, this song is ok, but it is no way a classic. 'Yes' with Pharrell is a better song then this in my eyes but this is still decent. 3.5

I liked Lil Wayne's part on here a lot- more than the last joint I just heard by him tonight. Dre was also hott. It's not my favorite by Lil Wayne but it was good- in rotation. "A whore to be gay"- yeah what are you saying lol.

Nothing make me love this, beat is unique and fit for his flow, but its just dulll to me and I too am getting sick of lil Wayne's over saturated voice which originated incredibly unique but has been getting quite annoying, i find myself enjoying his unique voice on more techno like tracks than these now. Why did he say he needs a whore to be gay? wtf lol

The production is hot. It has a cool beat, a cool music and a great sample. But if I can bear Lil' Wayne in collabos I can't stand him alone, it's too much for my ears, sorry. If there was another rapper this song would be a banger to me!

Cool & Dre really don't get enough props. This beat is fire. Wayne performs about average, but I'm sorry...the beat just puts it over the top for me.

so why everyone mentioning the "whore to be gay" line like he was serious? thats classic Wayne right there. He spits a line and its jus a joke and he then clarifies it. It was meant to be funny and go along wit the rhyme at the moment and he was acting like he got carried away. i thought it was funny. nothing new to that line. thats how much people really tryin to hate. He even has pharrell tryin to rap like him. his bad

Confusing track here, for some reason I find myself annoyed with this song, and for the first time it's not just because of wayne's voice. It just aint that good.

OH My Goodness! Cool & Dre threw a hot lil' Micheal Jackson sample in the background of this joint, didn't they? How hot is that? I love the production on this joint for real!!! Weezy is my man!!! However, I am w/ reishm on the lack of originality on the lyrics. Is this like outright challenge to Jay-Z? I guess you could either look at it like Weezy thinks he can spit Jay's words better than him, or its payment of homage to a prolific lyricist. Either way, the lyrics were hot when Jay spit em and I dig Weezy. It a banger!
