![]() ![]() Just the other day, a friend responded on Twitter to my post about "Money on My Mind" claiming that that song was superior to the single, "Fireman." While, because I had been introduced to it on TV, I assumed that "Fireman" was the biggest Lil Wayne single since "Bling Bling," "Go DJ" charted substantially higher. "Fireman" has not fared well in the historical pantheon of Wayne hits. Oh, you heard "Make It Rain" and think he's a one-hit wonder? Try "Fireman." You think Wayne only spits fire on mixtape tracks? Let's listen to "Fireman." In the years that followed, it became my go-to at parties or in conversations about Lil Wayne. When the album finally did come out, the song that grabbed my attention first was "Money on My Mind." But then there was "Fireman," a hit if I'd ever heard one. I didn't have the music the song wasn't even out yet. And yet, I found that hook reverberating in my head for months. Ridin' by myself well really not really So heavy in the trunk make the car pop-a-wheelie Who?

I was used to Wu-Tang Clan and Common Lil Wayne's mic skills didn't impress me much.
