Idolator

50 Cent thinks that the path Lil Wayne is currently traveling down—while it may have led him to his first career No. 1 single—is a dangerous one, because it's one that Curtis sees as similar to the path he traveled down in recent years. You may remember that era, when he released "Candy Shop" and "Amusement Park" back to back, only to see the latter greeted by yawns that were so loud, they pushed Curtis' release date back by months. So is 50 saying that "Lollipop" is a crummy song propped up by a persona that's as calculated as the supplement list in a bottle of Vitamin Water, and that No. 1 lightning doesn't strike twice on those sorts of combinations? As if! He's under the impression that the masses rejected "Amusement Park" because it just gave the audience too much sexy after the lick-heavy metaphors of "Candy Shop"... and that people will do the same to Weezy's next track from Tha Carter III if he isn't careful.
