http://www.citypaper.com/arts/review.asp?rid=11175Sound Tracks | Hip Hop/Rap Like Father, Like SonEdition: by Ethan PadgettAfter the departure of B.G., Juvenile, Turk, and producer Mannie Fresh, Cash Money CEO Birdman probably spent a lot of time on his knees in thanks that Lil Wayne is still around. Though still a Hot Boy, after nearly a decade in the game Wayne is eager to prove that he's far from a little squirt, regularly beating off the competition with such force that it's understandable if he's feeling a little testy on the duo's new album. A rapper with this much spunk coming out his mouth doesn't need to spend any more time boning up on his skills or trying to impress people with his stamina. Wayne effortlessly dominates Like Father, Like Son to the point that Birdman often gets the shaft.Fortunately, Baby knows when to just sit back and let Weezy do his thing, as he bounces from naked emotion to popping shots in the span of a single track. Wayne never lets you forget he's sitting on 20 inches, but when the rim talk wears out he's ready to lay himself bare on the title track. And he'll still bend over backward for a hot line, fleshing out his long narrative arcs with violent thrusts, never content, like so many rappers these days, simply to rhyme the same word or words that merely resemble each other. There are no homophones here.Wayne dishes out the white stuff uncut on the crack rap of "Over Here Hustlin," while Birdman goes harder than ever on "Leather so Soft" before cocking and squeezing on "Army Gunz." Weezy, the self-described "Fireman," brings the flames over the imitation Just Blaze production of "All About That," proving the pair knows how to handle spitting on organs. The only complaint a fan could have with Like Father, Like Son is that Birdman and Wayne come on so hard early on that the second half of the album goes down in the process

that is some funny shit right there.
I got about half way through it before I realized what was going on... hahahahaha
and yet...paycheck made it funnier....(sometimes spelling it out is funnier than the subtleties)...imo
There is nothing subtle about the original article.
compared to paycheck's...there is...haha
Homophobe !
The ridiculous thing is so many rap reviews rely on dumb language like this to fill out their 300 word quota, that I didn't realize that this was a parody untill I was almost through the whole thing. The more I think about this review the more I think it's not just a good joke. It's also a really sharp piece of satire that cuts both into the complacency of most rap writing, and the homoeroticism of rap that is created and obscured by hypermasculinity.
the 'unedited' original:
nice.....day!
No wonder he cut it - that's just dumb.
As for the image of "Weezy feeling me." YIKES.
so, you were in the presence of his naked emotion?
