Why Lil Wayne's atrocious \
Why Lil Wayne's atrocious "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" is Lin-Manuel Miranda's fault Let's get this out of the way first: Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers of his generation, responsible for some of the seminal songs and albums in the genre, period. His golden status in rap history is secure, and nothing he does for the rest of his career takes away from that. Every great artist produces a stinker from time to time. Friday's release of Tha Carter VI featured that kind of egregious misstep that typically follows rappers who have entered the back nine of their creative output. This misstep is called "Peanuts 2 N Elephant." While recent Tha Carter installments have had their ups and downs, Lil Wayne teamed up with Lin-Manuel Miranda of all people for this circus-infused disaster track that features horn-blowing elephants and what sounded like discarded soundtrack music for one of the old Frogger games. Lil Wayne's cringey bars on this song already clang about without any wit or passion, and there is already nothing you can do to salvage those lyrics with that Greatest Showman Super Nintendo game beat playing in the background. We heavily blame Miranda for this, as his contributions to the genre in this decade also include that ghastly "Scuttlebutt" rap between the bird and the crab in the 2023 Little Mermaid live-action remake. Miranda's Hamilton and In the Heights remain great, of course, but what the heck is this garbage? Is this a parody? Only two great artists could put their heads together and create something this bad unintentionally. Some NSFW language and deliriously painful production value below. The song is basically this visual meme in real practice. Look, we fully expect both Lil Wayne and Miranda to rebound from what basically amounts to a terrible decision made between two very talented people who know better. One of them gave us Tha Carter III, and the other gave us the amazing songs from Moana and Encanto. We feel like they'll learn from this and move on. However, it's best that this circus leave town as soon as possible, as "Peanuts 2 N Elephant" joins the ranks of all-time "immediate album skip" songs. That jarring beat is going to haunt our nightmares for weeks to come.
