Lil Wayne Goes...Rock?

(Retrieved from: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6f/LilWayneRebirth.jpg/220px-LilWayneRebirth.jpg)

Lil Wayne, while sitting on top of the music world, decided to do something different back in 2010.  He wanted to release a rock album, but since Lil Wayne is neither a singer nor a guitar player the task seemed daunting.  It also stumped a lot of his fans, and expectations for him to be successful were relatively low.

To everyone's disbelief, "Rebirth" was even worse than anyone expected.  It was not a rock album because there was nothing rock about it.  Spastic guitar and drum sounds mixed with Lil Wayne's auto tuned voice to make it sound like he was singing on key made this album unlike any other Lil Wayne's produced before.  The only bright side to his experimentation in the rock genre was that it showed he is willing to try new things.

Fans everywhere agree that Lil Wayne needs to stick to rap because that is what he excels at.

    Keep the writing strong, Sam. A few errors in this one. But you do a good job keeping the 'graphs short and easy to read and digest.

    Push yourself to enrich the descriptions with metaphor on the other style strategies we've discussed in class. Also think about a post with bullet points or numbered material to try out that blogging convention.
