Yes, Birdman was the benevolent guardian who took Weezy under his wing long ago, but he also understands that everything Lil Wayne spits is propane and allows him to do his thing on the CD. In “Over Here Hustlin'”, he quips, “Wayne straight like a key of that good/And if a b*tch don’t know the rules then I will read her the book.” Birdman does a good job of just being a roleplayer on this album, offering cute couplets here and there.īirdman and Lil Wayne make Like Father, Like Son successful because they understand their dynamic well. Lyrically, Lil Wayne is naturally responsible for many of the album’s quoteables. Songs like “Know What I’m Doin'” featuring Rick Ross and T-Pain and “Out Pound” have the signature Cash Money horns (provided by TMIX instead of Mannie Fresh) that you can find in a Grambling University halftime show. Like Father, Like Son is what an ideal Cash Money release sounds like.
What do we when somebody admits he has a daddy? Do we spread rumors that he is gay? Trust, people have. Now, Birdman and his adopted son, the South’s posterboy Lil Wayne, have dropped a duet album called Like Father Like Son (Cash Money/Universal) with its lead single “Stuntin Like My Daddy”, and the Hip-Hop world is befuddled. In fact, it is customary to forsake your pops because, oftentimes, it makes for a quality tune. In a certain music genre, it is not gangsta to love your father.
