When heР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s not trying out for the headlining slot at a comedy club for 15-year-old boys, WayneР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s either going through the hollow, cliched motions of gangsta posturing (Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўGunwalk, Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўTrigger FingerР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™), trying his luck at the rock star thing (again) and failing miserably (again) (the Jamie Lidell-sampling Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўBack To You,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўHello,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўHot RevolverР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™), or animatedly drawling his way through decidedly safe pop jams (Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўCurtains,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўBitches Love MeР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™).

ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s amusing, yes, but in a cringing, Soulja Boy kind of way (speaking of Soulja, he inexplicably appears as a guest rapper and producer on this album - twice his slapdash snap beat for Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўWowzersР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ sounds like something a middle schooler could cook up in the computerР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В lab).

But on I Am Not a Human Being II, itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s just one lame-dad punchline after the other, peppered with Trukfit product placements and tired rhyme schemes: Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўShe kiss my ankle when I twisted my ankle/ She even did anal when she donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t do anal,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ he croons at one point during the painful Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўRomance,Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ his voice buried in Auto-Tune. Granted, WayneР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s crazy free-association skills are one of the reasons we fell in love with him in the first place his uncanny ability to jump from Orville Redenbacher to the Bible to Bad Boys in the span of a single song is one of rapР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s national treasures. Over the course of the albumР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s 15 songs (18 in the deluxe edition), Wayne compares his member to the next black president, Megatron, a serpent, a recliner, a chair, morphine, a kangaroo, steroids, a rocket, a NASCAR, a shovel, breakfast in bed, a piР В РІР‚СљР вЂ™Р’В±a colada (penis colada), an AK/47, horse, a pony, and a unicorn (there are undoubtedly others that IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve overlooked can you spot any hidden gems?). Wayne doesnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t just make dick jokes: he sets a Guinness World Record for the most phallic metaphors in any rap album, ever. What is he yelling at you about, you might ask? His penis, basically. New Lil Wayne still sounds like a robot yelling at you for anР В РІР‚в„ўР вЂ™Р’В hour.Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ As my fellow writer C Monster eloquently puts it: Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўOH, 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 weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›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 rapperР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s last album.

We recently saw this aspect of WayneР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›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 weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›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 Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўI Feel Like DyinР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ 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 Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўchose 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 itР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s always beautiful.Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ Obviously, weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›re meant to interpret this in terms of his career - the metamorphosis from Hot Boy to mixtape phenom to established solo artist to Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўrock starР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™ and, finally, to his current artistic incarnation: an Auto-Tuned, Pac Sun-styled combination of the above. Have you ever seen something so profoundly beautiful as a Р В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎв„ўmoth butterfly thingР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р РЋРЎС™? 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 WayneР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s 10th studio album, I Am Not a Human Being II.
