Sorry for the Wait

I was leaving my apartment garage heading to HEB to do dreadful grocery shopping when I first heard Lil Wayne's newest single "How to Love" on the only radio station my car is programmed to in Austin, 102.3.  I'm a die hard Wayne fan, fell in love in high school when I first heard "The Drought 3."  Knew all the lyrics to every single song.  I was just amazed with how he was able to use so many catchy metaphors with his lyrics.  Some metaphors took me longer to catch on that others, but when I finally understood what he meant, it was such an "ah ha" moment.  I was very skeptical of how Lil Wayne's music would be after he got out of jail.  I just really wanted him to stay Wayne and not change who he was after his experience.  It took me a while to form an opinion on "How to Love," but thanks to 102.3, they played it numerous times, over and over, like they do to a couple songs, and I came to the conclusion that I liked the lyrics, hate Wayne trying to sing, but it just wasn't the Wayne I knew.  I was hoping that this single was not a reflection of what to come of Wayne.  He recently released his mixtape "Sorry for the Wait" I've yet to download it and from what I've heard and read, I'm not really missing anything.  I think I'm just going to continue to wait until the release of the "Carter 4" and hopefully not be sorry.
