Weezy's great new mixtape leaked online nine days after he pleaded guilty to a gun-possession charge, so there's only accidental allusion to the jail time staring him in the grill. When he raps, "I'm in the gun club/Do you wanna meet the bouncer?" over the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," his Keats-ian genius is tinged with Plaxico pathos. But mainly this is just another mash note to his own brilliance — his scaly voice and slant rhymes rolling like thunder over radio hits (Jay-Z's "D.O.A.," Gucci Mane's "Wasted," etc.), like he's clearing out his teeming brain's last couple of hundred blow jobs and three-way metaphors before he's temporarily benched.
