Initially planned as an EP, "I am not a human being" is now a 10 track album available digitally from now until 12 October, when copies of the album (three issues) will be released. But for an album released from prison, is a surprisingly well-put-together album full of songs that sound like Lil Wayne is a free man who can party with many friends and women as he wants. He can not.
The prison is a muse for many artists. The country star Johnny Cash, released one of the works inspired by the best-known jail, "At Folsom Prison" with the song "Folsom Prison Blues" in 1968. That same year, the country singer Merle Haggard released "Mama Tried", a song about the pain you caused his mother to be sent to San Quentin.
There have been a number of artists before and after they come out with the material inspired by the idea of jail, or spend real time in jail. The great blueswoman Bessie Smith wrote a song called "Jail House Blues" in 1923. Decades later, the rapper Tupac Shakur was the time during the height of his recording career, and the rapper Shyne released an album in 2004 entitled "Godfather Buried Alive" while serving a prison sentence of ten years. And Elvis Presley "Jailhouse Rock", released in 1957, is the kind of song of an ex-convict who wants to pull on your iPod after getting his release.
Lil Wayne "I'm not a human being" is not centered in prison. Many of the songs were recorded before Wayne began serving his sentence. Instead, the album release date attached to Lil Wayne's birthday, which happens to be today. As Wayne said in a statement through his spokesman, "I want to give my birthday gift to my loyal fans who have followed my support."
The new gift may make some fans almost forget his present musical past, mediocre pseudo-rock album "Rebirth." The "I'm not a human being," the first single "just above it" with Drake is a success-against-all odds type of sensation. Then there's "With You" (also with Drake), a prominent rap love song.
Fans waiting to hear about prison fights, prison food and prison guards may have to wait until Lil Wayne is released and can safely look back in time on time. "I'm not a man" sounds less like an album about life in prison and more like an album about the good life Lil Wayne used to enjoy outdoors.
