Recently a video has hit the internet that Lil Wayne released for a new song featuring Sizzla and T-Streets titled “The Only Reason”. Now, we all know that Lil Wayne has been doing some different things with his music lately and has switched from straight spitting on a track to doing some singing, and using the vocal effects that you hear T-Pain use, but this track is a far-left version of his creativity.
I’m not sure if Lil Wayne has been smoking too much weed as of late (he even says in the track “We’re smoking so much that we can’t breathe) but he’s now apparently a Jamaican. With the track’s instrumental sounding really good, and Lil Wayne securing a legend like Sizzla for the track, you would think that the song would be highly praised, but a lot of recent backlash has been circulating lately on youtube, defsounds, and various other hiphop websites. A lot of people feel that the credibility is at a ZERO level for Lil Wayne to be rapping like he’s Jamaican, but personally, I think the track sounds great. The video also looks really good.
I doubt Lil Wayne would be releasing this track as a single but it does keep his name in peoples mouths which is all the greatest publicity for any artist. Below you can see the video to the track. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know how you like the track and what your thoughts are on Lil Wayne rapping as a Jamaican.

well for one this doesnt shock me because wayne has been usin that accent for awhile now.. just another trick up his sleeve.. i really dont know like how u hadnt heard it b4 hes been doin it since da drought three and just recently did it on we dont play that.. i dunno i think its cool and i mean, who’s to tell him he cant do it?
Sounds good to me.
yeah wayne also went rasta/reggae on “make way” with birdman and fat joe, and he tore that up too, i love this wayne
dang i know he did good cause it flowed but i have no idea what he said
This one is easy to defend , first of all he can do what he wants . I mean i would if i had the resources to experiment with music etc.
Well the point is, just because he sings “jamaican” does not mean he is jamaican , come on - that would mean that anyway singing english, and is not american (etc.) - is now american cuz of the language? .
anyway**
anyone
What a q’ incedent. This song is on “The Leak 6″ , but its called 10 Years ?
ii love diiz song
this song wouldnt be anything without wayne. he is so talented it is sickening (in a good way). and yea, “make way” was an awesome song and his rasta verse was the most memorable.
hmm, at risk it shook a lil heads for me
but now tht im listenin to it more its goood
i like how later on he starts rapping.
cus the beat goes good wid it
old song, he just messin round with what he can do
I like the video LOL
