Lil Wayne comes on as hard as can be on 500 DEGREEZ, throwing gangsta imagery around like Rip Taylor with a fresh supply of confetti. Still, no matter how strenuously he underscores his gangsta themes on such representative tracks as "Gangsta S***," "F*** You," and "Way of Life," his hard-hitting approach is offset by a subtle-yet-undeniable sense of humor. For one thing, there's Wayne's voice itself, which at its most vituperative has echoes of Eminem's Jerry Lewis-isms. Then there's the production, which is laced throughout with goofy ensemble vocals and synth riffs that bespeak a deep devotion to the street-cred quirk of George Clinton. Such guests as Baby, Big Tymers, and TQ are on hand to bolster Wayne's hard-as-nails image, but he still can't hide the sly grin behind his thug-life frown.
