There are plenty (plenty, plenty, plenty) of reasons I'm excited for my internship at Soundcheck - like the first half of today's show: Sasha Frere-Jones and Jake Paine will evaluate Lil Wayne's claim that he is, in fact, the best rapper on Earth.


Seems a little absurd (in a very fun way), and interesting - I wonder what Sasha (pop music critic for The New Yorker) and Jake (senior editor of hiphopdx.com) have to say. Also, I'm sure they'll be reviewing Tha Carter III on the fly, which itself would be worth listening for; aside from a couple of tracks, the album is pretty burned out - a lot like Lil Wayne, actually.
