Blender Magazine Review: Britney Spears and Lil Wayne Hook Up
WHO: Britney Spears [ft. Lil Wayne]
WHAT: "Gimme More" (Remix)
WHY: So Britney's comeback single isn't exactly smashing the charts (it currently stands at no. 68) and, you know, there was that little performance a couple weeks back. Still, we stand by our initial praise of the song — it's sleek, sexy and surprisingly self-aware. And that was before the self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" decided to add a couple quick verses. Wayne purists may poo-poo the MC for recycling much of his guest shot from that ****** Enrique Iglesias song, but the flow is sped-up and much improved here. He's not breaking any lyrical ground ("baby, I could bless you and you ain't even sneezin'"), but there's something about Wayne rhyming over heavily syncopated, 23rd-century synth instrumentals (see: "We Takin' Over") that's hard to deny. Even so, the real star here is the beat, produced by Virginia up-and-comer (and obvious Timbaland obsessive) Max Methods. It manages to retain the future-disco feel of fellow Virginian (and Timbaland protégé) Danjahandz's original track while changing things up enough to keep it weird and exciting. Basically, this new "Gimme More" sounds like a Timbaland remix with Lil Wayne on it. We're not complaining.
