The hip-hop world buzzed when Olympic gold medalist/new national icon Michael Phelps revealed that he listened to Lil’ Wayne before his swim meets. But, really, this is only surprising for those of us who expected Phelps to sustain himself on binaural transmissions via his aqua-men overlords. After all, who wasn’t listening to Lil’ Wayne in 2008? Tha Carter III sold a million in its first week, making it the biggest hip-hop album in years. Even Barack admitted to listening to Weezy. It’s official: our new pop laureate is a syrup-addled rat-boy whose lyrics read like hydrogen-jukebox stream of consciousness meets Richard Pryor in the V.I.P. room of Magic City. It’s a strange and brave new world. WAYNE IS THE BEST!!!
