A Year of Lil Wayne: Lil Drummer Wayne

Day 96: “RappaPomPom” feat. Junior Reid – unreleased, 2006

Have you ever wondered what the Christmas classic “Little Drummer Boy” might sound like if it were a dancehall song about buying a gun? And then Lil Wayne rapped over it? Well, wonder no longer. ‘Tis the season, and this song, a remastered loosie from 2006 courtesy of Streetrunner’s ongoing remastering efforts, is just the tune to deck the halls to.

Streetrunner explains, on Soundcloud:

RappaPomPom was recorded early 2006. I passed Wayne a beat cd at the studio and 15min later got the call to hold this track down. Wayne recorded this song and another off the same cd in less then 2 hours. At that point I knew he was going to be a beast!

Best of luck to everyone with their last minute holiday shopping. You probably shouldn’t buy your loved ones a gun, is my advice, no matter what this song says.
