’s “No Ceilings” mixtape series is proof that when it comes to rap calisthenics, he’s got more stamina than Richard Simmons.

“No Ceilings 2” isn’t even close to his finest work but itap where we see Weezy get loose, live out some of favorite gangster fantasy and rap over his favorite production of the year. He takes on “Hotline Bling,” turning it into a jailhouse love song about phone sex and nude photos while “Millyrock,” gets the posse treatment with assists from Lucci Lou and Turk.
He’s all over the board but one consistent link is the inclusion of production from “What a Time to Be Alive.” Itap those cuts that receive Wayne’s zaniest rhymes. On “Plastic Bag,” he calls the shots as his goons kidnap and rob some deserving soul who gets choked with a plastic bag until he gives up the goods. Itap hilarious, absurd, outrageous and brilliant. Sure, his rendition of Eminem’s “My Name Is” could have been left on the cutting floor but that goes against the “No Ceilings” principle.
He’s having fun, flexing and trying out new material for what is surely a new project. Because of Cash Money’s legal woes (which Wayne addresses over “Diamonds Dancing”), itap unlikely we’ll get a full-length project from Lil Tunechi any time soon. In the meantime, we have “No Ceilings 2,” twenty-two tracks of entertainment and bravado from the self-proclaimed “Greatest Rapper Alive.”
