Any final shout outs? Thanks?Man, this is Joell Ortiz, add me on Twitter and Instagram, @joellortiz. I want to thank Penalty Records for giving me a home for this album and just giving me a home in general as far as a solo artist.
"I'm just thinking about zoning out," he said. "I'm not thinking about who I'm reaching out to. I'm not thinking about who to bring to the tape. I'm just thinking about making a really, really good tape. Letting people know who Joell Ortiz is one more time. This time with Green Lantern and Don Cannon. Just rapping, that's what I do the best. I rap. I'm concerning myself with rippin' this tape and getting some good feedback on it."

As somebody myself who grew attached to the play in its current form, you have to be sort of careful to pay homage to what was there that people love while making it into something new. Like Lin does in the play I'm trying to layer all of these different meanings that refer to different things that were already there.
Critics, what do they know?Friday, April 12, 2013 Lil Wayne: I Am Not a Human Being II (Cash Money/Republic)Oh no. He's rhyming about almost nothing but--yuck and/orbor-ing--sex. Hasn't he heard of artistic growth? Probably he has,actually--his star bubble is no more hermetic than anybody else's. Infact, I say it's progress that 11 of the 15 tracks here deploy theP-word the way God intended (as opposed to the p****-a**-n**** form,which I'd as soon he s***can myself). It suggests that, unlike mostrappers and related pop lifeforms who brag about sex, Weezy reallyseems to savor it (especially--psst--oral--both ways!). Plus his possecuts are finally showing some savor too, albeit not on the vestigialguns 'n' violence ones--the Gunplay collab is easily the dullest musichere. Brightest: a pro-sex theme song featuring Drake and Future andcalled, officially, "Love Me." You want socially conscious themes?Really? A loose-lipped ship-sinker is what he was meant tobe.
