I'd like to start out by pointing out this tracks has already come out in the US but not over here, so I'm not that out of date. Also you have no idea how hard it is to find a picture of Lil'Wayne with a shirt on.
Kobe Bryant - Lil' Wayne
So yes it's a song about Kobe Bryant the concensus choice for the best player in the NBA today (sorry Labron). Now you're probably thinking a song about a basketball player? Who gives a shit. Well there is that problem unless your into basketball you will be wondering who the hell all these players he's referencing are. So have that disclaimer in mind, as I tell you this is the best soundtrack to a epic sports movie that doesn't exist. When it kicks off you think Kobe will just be a metaphor for Wayne to tell us how great he is, but instead it is all about Kobe. It has a huge beat that feels like it's fallen of the back of an NBA Live soundtrack and got got all muddled up with the horn section from Rocky III. Wayne's swagger is incredibly tight, and just listening to his wheezy voice work his way around the rhymes is half the fun. The song climaxes with the epic line "You Hear them chanting / MVP, MVP, Kobe Bryant Aka En-vy-me" the line might be MV-ME but either way the implication is loud and clear. The video for Basketball fans is amazing, Kobe does some pretty insanse shit. So do I recommend this? Well it's a great song, with a great video, but it does have limmited appeal, if you don't like Basketball this will be little more than a fun throwaway. But don't forget even a throwaway single is bloody brilliant when it comes to Lil' Wayne.
