With her fluid, half-rapped vocals and low-key R&B production, the Tokyo-born, Paris-based musician sounds a bit like Spooky Black if he'd traveled the world and got into club music (disclaimer: he might have done both of those things, I don't actually know).

That kind of power carries through the entirety of Blue, a tapestry of evocative, poetically specific images, alternately rapped and crooned by a 21-year-old who has known too much pain (and, probably, too many cigarettes) than anyone his age should, with a voice and a gift for songwriting that show it.

It's a great verse, the rare situation where a guest hops on a track and not only gives Wayne a run for his money but appears to push Wayne to elevate his own performance (usually if Wayne gets out-rapped, which I don't think actually happens here, it's because he's phoning it in).
|
|

|
|

|
|
But even so the beats are fainter and laxer than those on If You're Reading This, and although things perk up at the end with "Pop Style" and the inescapable "Hotline Bling," for the most part each slow, bland, half-rapped/half-sung elegy drags and drags and evaporates into a fine, chilly, barely tangible mist.
|
|
The amount of movement in his short verse here is insane—a gurgling plunge of melody about a girl dropping it low to a rhythmic rapped riff on how attractive she is to a soaring croak describing a grand philosophical battle and deep declaration of love to a final jubilant evocation of the moment in time.
|
|
Wayne has, realistically, probably rapped more lights-out verses in the last two years than most rappers ever do in their entire careers, but it's not particularly en vogue to stan for Wayne verses in 2016 (god bless y'all for listening to J.

"My precedures, stay crackin 'til my life's low / Then when I die, blue rag around my rifle / Hundred-thousand in my coffin, that's just life though / Play a Stevie Wonder song, smoke some flight, bro / Crack a pint of Actavis then pour in some Sprite, bro / Until that day I'm walking toward what's in my sights, though," he rapped.

Given that Twiztid are from the same Detroit horrorcore scene as Eminem, both rap really fast, and are essentially contemporaries (ICP actually sicced Twiztid on Em when "My Name Is" first blew up, and Monoxide once allegedly battle-rapped against Em and actually won), could Twiztid have had Eminem's career if they'd signed with Dr. Dre and Em had signed with Psychopathic?
|
|
That all changed a couple weeks ago when he released "Real Friends," a plaintive ballad featuring Ty Dolla $ign, followed up by "No More Parties in LA," a six-minute track in which Kanye and Kendrick Lamar rapped uninterrupted over a beat from Madlib, who specializes in the sort of dusty, boom-bap psychedelia that lands just left of hip-hop's center.

Tracks five-six-seven—"Screwed" with its "You fucked the world up now / We'll fuck it all back down" brag, the raspy-rapped autobio "Django Jane," and the folds-of-your-vagina-to-folds-of-your-brain "Pynk"—are a "1999" for 2018 with lyrics that don't stop don't stop, the apex of an album that's designed to have one.

He rapped about his background, and his hope for the future, on "Blue Laces 2": Third generation, South Central gang banging Had lived long enough to see it changing Think it's time we make arrangements Finally wiggle out they mazes Find me out in different places But he never entirely left the streets behind, and he said he had never entirely meant to.
