Lil Wayne, rapper
In a strange promotional event, rapper Lil Wayne is set to perform with the New York Philharmonic for a series of concerts this winter. Pieces by the likes of Bach, Dvorak, and Ligëti will be accompanied by the rapper, who has penned lyrics for each. Snippets of rehearsal were recorded by Kalkaska journalists, let's listen: "Uh. Beethoven's fifth, I just drank a fifth, yuh. Young money young money, my bitch got a fat ass she got that figured base. Real G's move in silence like Mussorgsky." Wayne is expected to be joined by fellow Lil rappers: Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Jon, Lil Pump, Lil Peep, Lil Bow Wow, and Lil B The Based God, for a special event with the orchestra, dubbed Eine Lil Nachtmusik. Never before has the most prestigious group in classical music been used as the backdrop for a cypher. New York stays making history. Tune in tomorrow as we debate the pros and cons of CBT.
