I think Wayne's work is still under-construction (something like the Obama campaign) and it's difficult, perhaps even impossible to offer accurate, remotely complete analysis of an ongoing work or campaign. The two pieces offer completely different depictions and analysis... the second article portrays him as a doped-out workaholic martian, while the first one tries to tap into the humanity and artistic side of his work. I'm also fascinated by questions like this one posed by lone wolf; "Is not Auto-Tune the wah pedal of today’s Black pop?"

There's something very non-postmodern about it, his decipherers are uniformly in a High Modernist mode. ive been thinking about the interpretive impulses that Lil Wayne brings out… its pretty fascinating, everyone wants to graft his work onto some Larger Idea.
