Lil’ Wayne was once very close to signing with Roc-A-Fella Records, but ultimately decided to stay with Cash Money. Over two years later, Wayne has done various work with The Roc, collaborating on three of their premiere artist’s tracks (Kanye‘s Barry Bonds, Freeway‘s Step Back, and Hova‘s Brooklyn 2.0). Next up is the Young Gunz’ Young Chris, whose new mixtape cut sounds like a throwback to the Dynasty era of the early 2000’s. Chris and Weezy show off How We Roll by trading simile-filled lines over an Amadeus beat that sounds like classic Just Blaze. If How We Roll (as well as Run To The Roc) are an indicator, Young Chris might be the one to make the Roc’s return to prominence official; something he wasn’t able to do with Neef Buck as a member of the Gunz.
Weezy has the talent to be signed to The Roc but his image is so Cash Money. Young Chris can pull off the solo effort but I think he shines more with Neef by his side. It's funny to see rappers go solo and have more than half of their tracks on their album featuring other artists.
I'm lovin the Hit Em Up tribute at the beginning of Wayne's verse. Weezy's on steroids. The funny thing is I only listen to songs like these to hear the lil wayne verse. Sucks for these other artists but at least they get their name heard.
if it aint jay or ye then the rock is a dying memory. These dudes have talent but not enough to make the roc a powerhouse like before. Jay still waiting to go platinum freeway selling numbers like hurricane chris. young chris album will sell like hell rell. all in all though im feelin this track.
Chris is nice with it. It jus sux that wayne make errybody look bad. I fucks with this. BTW...bottom boi, how many rap cats went platinum this year? Going platinum aint easy. The ROC got track killers on the roster! Folks aint buying album...PERIOD
King Karolina makes a great point. Kanye, 50, TI and Jay all went platinum. Thats about it my friends. Gold is the new platinum when you add in digital and ring tone sales. Hot cut, Wayne is ridiculous.
This is first song that i can say i dont like with Lil Wayne in it... Its just the beat.. to soft for Lil Wayne.. and it sounds low.. but All yall Jokers who dissin Lil Wayne.. He isnt on fckn steroids.. where the h3ll u hear that from? Lil Whoever was talkin about Hurricane Chris and RockAFella records... Hurricane Chris and Jay-Z are the only people they have h3ll Murder INC is better than them... And I CANT STAND JAY-Z!! Hes the worst rapper alive...
Any1 else notice that this is a Young Chris track and NOT a Weezy track.....me neither. NEways productions solid, flow is not (besides Lil Wayne of course).
It's pretty tight. Wayne showing a lil more consistency as of late so I gotta respect that. As for Kaleb's comments.....I know hating is a disease, I hope u get better quick.
Like wayne didn't bite off of Hov's style.
This track is made by lil wayne, but Young Chris is surprising me a little lately. I didn't think he had this Hard-Rap in him to tell you the truth. The beat is kinda wack in my opinion and the chorus is also weak. Lil wayne saves this track big time, but everything else is just so-so. Lil wayne is the Greatest Rapper Alive (right now)...
