Lil Wayne – Prom Queen (Russ Castella Piano Version)

Russ Castella

Russ Castella

[rating:70/100]

We have all discussed at length and have voiced our thoughts on Lil Wayne’s forthcoming rock album. The consensus is quite frank: we think it sucks (so far). “Prom Queen” is a horrible song, and while “Hot Revolver” is an improvement, it is nothing to make us believe Wayne’s venture into vocoder rock music will be anywhere near good.

Then Russ Castella drops this remix in my dropbox. Gone are the rock riffage that sounded so terrible with Wayne’s vocoder’d vocals. Castella replaces the guitars with some fitting and smooth keys. We still have to put with Wayne’s vocals, but there’s no denying that this is an improvement. The vocoder is just something we obviously have to learn to live with, or learn to ignore. Upgrade your “Prom Queen” below

  2. so much better then the original. Lets hope the rest of his album goes in this type of direction rather then just the same stuff

    Kudos, remixer.

  4. God, I just love this remix. Very Hot-Revolver-y (Compliment!!)

  5. Woah, new contest: Make “Prom Queen”… GOOD! where can I find the acapella?

    struggling to like this but the piano is nice. Most of it is autotune but there is some vocoder as well.

  7. isnt that the auto tune program and not a vocoder?

    At least Prom Queen was original w/ it’s rock sound, now it sounds like a track left off of Kanye’s 808s & Heartbreak.
