This week’s Top 10 singles list features Lil Wayne’s return to action with his first bit of new music in months, a precursor to the upcoming release of his Sorry For The Wait 2 mixtape. Just below that, Eminem grants a terminally ill patient a final wish before his death and Common and John Legend accept a Golden Globe award.
Lower down the list, rare footage of GZA and Ol’ Dirty Bastard freestyling surfaces, an unreleased video from Nas and the Beastie Boys sees the light of day, and Meek Mill drops a new freestyle.
Lil Wayne Remixes Future’s “Sh!t”
After months without releasing any new music and his Carter V album still in limbo, Lil Wayne finally dropped a new freestyle along with an announcement that his Sorry For The Wait 2 mixtape would be released shortly. Remixing Future’s Honest hit “Sh!t,” Lil Wayne returns with a high-pitched delivery and Autotuned verse on his latest offering and seems to make mention of his much-publicized rift with his label. “Did my time in Cash Money, time served and released,” he raps, “But this agent ain’t free, word, that’s the word on these streets / But that shit is old news, that shit is so yesterweek / I’m just focused, focused on my expertise.”
