T-Pain even shot down the chances of it happening anytime soon in 2011 interview. Although they’ve appeared on each other’s latest albums, and T-Pain recently signed to Wayne’s Young Money label, the project seems no closer to become a reality after three years in the pipeline. The two became fast friends and appeared on each other’s singles (Wayne’s “Got Money,” T-Pain’s “I Can’t Believe It”), vowing to record a whole album together as a duo. In 2008, everybody in pop music was mimicking rappa ternt sanga T-Pain’s AutoTune vocal style, especially Wayne. Maybe someday a DJ will unearth the mixtape and leak it to the Internet, but chances are very little of it was ever completed. But as the song’s short-lived buzz petered out, the Wayne solo track and the companion mixtape never surfaced, and were virtually forgotten by the time Tha Carter III dropped. Soon after, there was talk of a Wayne mixtape of the same name, featuring more versions of the song and collaborations with various other rappers from the New York borough, and freestyles over various Brooklyn rap classics, hosted by Mick Boogie. One of the unreleased tracks earmarked for the album, Hello Brooklyn, was remixed as “Hello Brooklyn 2.0” for Jay-Z’s American Gangster album. In late 2007, Wayne was still in the thick of the protracted two-year run-up to Tha Carter III, constantly recording and discarding songs for the hit album that was ultimately released the following summer. Lil Wayne and Mick Boogie- Hello Brooklyn Or so it seemed: last fall Santana signed to Wayne’s Young Money label with a rebooted I Can’t Feel My Face planned as his first release with the label. Many of the initial collaborations the two recorded back in 2006 after first announcing the project were quickly leaked on the mixtape circuit, which led to the idea of an official retail album release being scrapped. It’s a sign of how quickly Lil Wayne became one of the biggest stars in the world that just a few years ago, he was considered enough of an equal to the middling Cam’ron sidekick Juelz Santana that this duo project seemed like a good match. Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana- I Can’t Feel My Face So I thought it’d be a good time to take stock of all of those projects, and evaluate their odds of being released in 2012: In recent months, some new ones have been promised and some old ones have been put back on the table or permanently shelved. As his status has steadily increased, he’s left in his wake a dense catalog of announced but uncompleted or unreleased albums and mixtapes. The amazing thing about Lil Wayne’s prolific output, however, is how much more music he’s intended to release but hasn’t. In 2011, over 50 songs by or featuring Lil Wayne appeared on various Billboard charts, including every song off of his latest album, Tha Carter IV. In the last two years, he’s released three solo albums (in addition to keeping pace with mixtapes and collaborations), despite the fact that he spent 10 months of that time in prison. In the mid-00s, the Cash Money rapper who’d first tasted fame in the late 90s as a teenager came back bigger than ever with a deluge of mixtapes and guest verses that had made him a superstar by the time of 2008’s Tha Carter III. And scared the crap outta me.If there’s any lesson to be learned from Lil Wayne’s career, it’s that there’s no such thing as flooding the market in hip-hop anymore. I was also tickled to see the humor/satire injected into this movie, that "The Game" didn't have. In my opinion, that's always an interesting process to watch. A little more in depth with the character facing his pre conceived ideas about himself and the world around him. (I don't nit pik as much) What is NEW, compared to the movie "The Game", is this is a little more personal with less action. I tend to be analytical and notice things like that, but as I've grown older I have also learned to quiet my brain to suspend belief enough to enjoy what the point is, when it is presented. The story, as others have already mentioned, very similar to "The Game" with Michael Douglas (Just happens to be one of my all time favorite thriller movies ever) So, the PREMISE is not new. The cinematography and camera use,lighting, editing.all on Hollywood big budget level. First the technical aspects of this film.
