CRITIC REVIEWS

While Wayne is famously known for grandfathering many of rap’s modern aesthetics, Funeral is just another example of how much better he is than his contemporaries at executing them.
73
Across the hour, Funeral sounds less like last rites for Wayne and more like a resurrection.
67
For his new decade debut, Wayne takes a “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” approach, only hitting the target about half the time.
60
The problem with ‘Funeral’ is that there’s no real thread holding the music together.
60
Funeral proves that Wayne's quick-witted rapping might be the only quality keeping his music enjoyable in today's hip-hop scene.
60
‘Funeral’ is a mixed bag, and feels more like 24 tracks Lil Wayne had lying around than a coherent project.
60
Wayne’s unheralded 13th studio album proves that the 37-year-old’s flow can still be fearsome, even if his edit function remains iffy.

Not living up to its somber title and introduction, Funeral is another unfocused and bloated album from Lil Wayne.
C'mon, we really being serious? Let's not beat around the bush. This new surprise Lil Wayne record...it's NOT GOOD. 💥
He just had to do it, didn't he? He just had to wait for that grand opportunity to cash in on some big bucks with this album, huh? Disguising this long-awaited studio record as some sort of grand, important artistic statement worth dissecting, when in reality, it's nothing more than just a dull, monotonous, practically inedible piece of matter devoid of any flavor and ... read more

Lil Wayne's Funeral. His first move since his pretty admirable, but slightly bloated back to form C5. But still, I couldn't help but stay skeptical about this one. 24 tracks? Lil Baby? Big Sean? The tracklist isn't the best looking.
Thr first track sets the tone, pretty much similar to what you would expect from an album called Funeral: pretty majestic and haunting. Many tracks carry that tone actually. The intro track would've been much better if Wayne's unenthusiastic singing didn't go on ... read more

To be honest I like it, yes it is long but I liked half the songs and some a not that big a problem. Most songs last longer than I would’ve liked it to be, the features felt awkward, production didn’t sound like it had much quality or thought to it. That all being said I still think Wayne had some great rapping with every now and then interesting/funny lyrics. Yeah I can see this album be overhated in a couple weeks mainly because of the length but eh I enjoyed this. Oh and Adam ... read more
Wayne rapping his ass off for 75 min and that's pretty much it. He does a Playboi Carti impression on some songs here and there. I wish he scrapped 7-8 of these songs but overall it was a cool listen
