Like Father Like Son Review - Blender
Ever since Cash Money Records cofounder Brian “Baby” Williams, a.k.a. “Birdman,” signed 11-year-old Lil’ Wayne, the two have developed an unusual relationship: Wayne has grown from an awkward kiddie rapper into the label’s president and flagship artist, and he now calls Baby his “father” (he isn’t). You’d think there’s a lot to talk about there, but beyond the occasional pledge of undying loyalty, Wayne and Baby don’t exactly explore their feelings on their first album together. Instead, they talk about their money and jewelry and cars and guns. It’s well-trod ground, but Wayne manages to make it sound fresh: “For the pesos, I’m an A-hole.” His demented wheeze hits hard, and if Baby’s mostly just taking up space, half a Lil’ Wayne album is better than a whole album from damn near anyone else.
