Sampling Amy Holland’s “She’s on Fire” from Scarface, “On Fire” is a welcome eighties flashback remixed with Weezy’s typical swagger. Unsurprisingly, the only track to completely stick to Weezy’s old style sticks out like a sore thumb and at the same time, is one of “Rebirth’s” best. “Runnin” has a slower, less chaotic beat that allows for him to show his more insightful side.
Lil Wayne shines on “Drop The World,” featuring a surprisingly well-suited verse by Eminem. The rock songs on “Rebirth” are so poorly recorded that listening to the album from start to finish becomes an exhausting effort.īy stripping away distortion and dropping the tempo and volume, Weezy’s brilliant flow takes flight. On “Rebirth,” the loud, distorted, and abrasive rock amplifies the more irritating nuances of Weezy’s delivery. The Weezy formula for success is unbalanced on “Tha Carter” albums’ smooth, minimalist beats perfectly contrast his arrhythmic, scratchy drawl. Weezy’s flow goes together with rock about as well as journalists and Vladimir Putin. “Rebirth” should alienate Weezy’s fans the lack of classic Tha Carter material pushes his core fans away, while the low-quality rock won’t appeal to a different crowd. There are moments of electronic-inspired brilliance, but not enough to justify this nü-metal shitstorm. If “Rebirth” is an indicator for Weezy’s influences, he must’ve been listening to the dregs of alt-rock from the past two decades. The riffs and chords on this album never rise above a beginner level-as his album cover suggests, his “rebirth” is nothing more than the product of several sessions of lazy doodling. Lil Wayne should’ve learned to play the guitar before he decided to become a “rock star.” Apparently those rumored lessons with Kid Rock didn’t pay off, to the embarrassment of both men. Weezy’s guitar playing is so bad that it makes this album unlistenable. After delaying the album, balking at multiple release dates, releasing four singles, changing the tracklist after an shipping error, it became apparent that “Rebirth” was never a good idea in the first place. On January 23 of last year, he made the mistake of clarifying that “Rebirth” would be his rock album debut, not a re-release of “Tha Carter III” as was originally believed. He was obviously aware of it, too because he did just about everything he could to wipe away the hype surrounding this album. Click here.Weezy’s newest effort is a tragedy. So the cover has been cut down to $6, and American Aquarium will play an extra-long set (or two sets). American Aquarium will still perform Thursday at New World Brewery, but their tourmates, Leslie, had to cancel due to a broken-down van. According to their website, Celtic rockers Enter the Haggis will perform at Clearwater's Capitol Theatre on Sept. Cut Copy will perform at Orlando's Club Firestone on Oct. Rapper Yo Gotti will perform at Vanity Ultra Lounge in Tampa on Aug. We're just the messenger here.) Click here for details, or call (941) 914-8552. (We know, we know - when it comes to Weezy-related party tidbits, we should underpromise and overdeliver. But then we saw this flyer for an after party hosted by Cash Money honcho Birdman, following Lil Wayne's concert Aug. It's always a miracle when we hear about an event at Club Underground, which appears to prefer to keep things, um, underground. Wow.) Tickets will be $35-$65 when they go onsale Friday.
24 is shaping up as a massive concert day: Blondie at Ruth Eckerd Hall, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance at the 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre, Miranda Lambert at the Trop and Peter Bjorn and John at Czar.

At any rate, this'll be Blondie's first performance as a full group in Tampa Bay since 2006, which is cool. This is a pretty big deal, we suppose, because Blondie is awesome, but we're a little bummed that they bailed on a Busch Gardens gig earlier this year.
Blondie is coming to Ruth Eckerd Hall on Sept. Tickets won't go onsale until early August, but you'd best get 'em early - this will be a packed house. The Vero Beach native, known for hits like Eight Second Ride and Don't Think I Can't Love You, will return to the Dallas Bull on Oct. But he's liable to become a headliner in his own right any day now. Country stud Jake Owen is spending this summer touring with Keith Urban.
