Audio: Flo-Rida f. Lil Wayne, “American Superstar”

story THE FADER

In the future, when we are trading Lil Wayne bootlegs recorded to vinyl like it’s a live Grateful Dead recording, this song will probably be memorable because Lil Wayne says Open that Ferrari F5 like eyes, a simultaneously lazy and awesome line because it’s so obvious that it crosses the realm of lame and lands firmly in totally cool sounding territory. We’ll admit that we’ve been a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of Wayne tracks to cross our computers, but in the last couple weeks there have been some serious jams, rising from the mire of unfocusedness and into the realm of memorable. Flo-Rida also says messy just like a monster. Are monsters messy? Now that we think about it, yeah they probably are.
