As my fellow writer C Monster eloquently puts it: “OH, cool. But while the tension and confusion have passed, we are unfortunately left with a pretty disappointing piece of work. Thankfully, Lil Wayne has pulled through, and we’ve been spared from the terrifying prospect of posthumously immortalizing this as his last artistic statement. During those tense few days, the media made it seem possible that I Am Not a Human Being II would be the rapper’s last album.

We recently saw this aspect of Wayne’s moth butterfly-ness manifest itself, when he was rushed to the ICU after experiencing a series of violent seizures purportedly caused by over-consumption of sizzurp, his nectar of choice. Of course, the beauty of these feathery insects stems from their brevity (the average butterfly lifespan is a mere two weeks). Just as we’ll never understand the complex choreography of monarch migration, we can never hope to comprehend the forces of money and/or nature that took us from “I Feel Like Dyin’” to something that actually made us feel like dying. And yes, just like the beautiful moth butterfly thing, we will never understand just who Wayne is, artistically and personally. According to Wayne, Kanye “chose the moth butterfly thing because it has so many different stages of life, and it goes through so many forms and changes, and no one can figure it out, and it’s always beautiful.” Obviously, we’re meant to interpret this in terms of his career - the metamorphosis from Hot Boy to mixtape phenom to established solo artist to “rock star” and, finally, to his current artistic incarnation: an Auto-Tuned, Pac Sun-styled combination of the above. It does not store any personal data.Have you ever seen something so profoundly beautiful as a “moth butterfly thing”? Kanye West has, and he was so struck by its symbolic integrity that he had DONDA, his creative content company, incorporate it into the cover art for Lil Wayne’s 10th studio album, I Am Not a Human Being II.

With no word on if the record will serve as the official first single, ‘Gotta Lotta’ would be perfect from the rapidly approaching warm weather. The tune serves as a great introduction to the project that will be available in less than 24 hours and equally displays the flare that Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz possess.
Not to be left out, 2 Chainz blasts in and sounds off in only a way that we’re use to from 2 Chainz. Kicking off the record, and being familiar to riding over Rock/Hip-Hop fused production, is Lil Wayne as he swims between rapping and singing on the enticing beat. Simply put, ‘Gotta Lotta’ is a great example of when the worlds of Rock & Hip-Hop collide. Now, that has changed as the duo have officially premiered ‘Gotta Lotta’ from the upcoming body of work. With not much music surfacing from the project, fans have had little to no indication of what the LP would sound like. Taking to his Twitter, Kanye West not only shared the accompanying album cover, but he also revealed that the new project would be available for all on this coming Friday, March 4th. Just yesterday, to the surprise and relief of some, we received even further confirmation that Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz’s upcoming collaboration project, Collegrove, was not just some fluke or idea that was tossed around.
