No Ceilings

Wayne released No Ceilings in 2009 to critical success. It’s a free mixtape, constructed mostly of remixes, using beats other rappers have already recorded on. Notably, he raps over Jay Z, Gucci Mane and The Black Eyed Peas.

The mixtape was written and recorded during the lead up to Wayne’s stint in prison, and he makes mention of it multiple times. His lyrical themes are as wide ranging as always, and he rarely conforms to the original songs structure or theme. He gives air time to his Young Money crew, as always, with Lil Twist, Gudda Gudda, Mack Maine and Shanell featuring.

“No Ceilings (Pop That)” and “Single” are the only two original songs from the mixtape. They were released as singles in March and May 2010, respectively. “Single” was later retitled to “I’m Single” and was featured on Wayne’s 2010 studio album I Am Not A Human Being.
