On Tha Carter IV, Wayne’s world feels more like a dream than reality, but the loyal subjects of Young Money get a wild ride and the great feeling of flashing those ruby slippers one more time.
It just doesn’t feel like the homecoming it probably should be ... But in his proper arrival, he truly sounds like a different man: More tempered, less hungry, equipped with a sense of maturity, of furrowed thoughtfulness that wasn’t part of his character before.
It's the rapper's most unfulfilling and worrisome move in a long while.
By the end of the album it feels like Wayne maybe pushed Tha Carter series one installment too far.
There’s plenty of great rapping on Tha Carter IV, but for the first time, most of it isn’t coming from Lil Wayne.
It’s a smattering of tracks lacking in relevance, carried by everything other than the primary artist for which they were made.
Wayne is so tired throughout this album that he often hardly bothers to string together words that have any cleverness or sense whatsoever.
THIS IS PEAK WAYNE I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS
This Lil Wayne project has some of his most recognizable, quotable and iconic songs, you have Blunt Blowin, MegaMan 6 Foot 7 Foot, Nightmares of the Bottom, She Will back to back to back bangers then you still got John and How to Love and still if you go into the deluxe edition of this album you have the iconic Mirror which should have been in the base tracklist. It's crazy how many people think this is the weakest of the Carter series when ... read more
His raps are so good here that they make my wine taste better. Thank you Weezy. And also happy birthday. I still can't believe he is only 41 year old and he raps since 1997.
Dwayne Carter Jr. was born on September of 1982 in New Orleans, Lil Weezyana. Since young age he was trying to help his single mother. At the age of 8, he met Birdman with whom he became good friends. At the age, he was trying to kill himself. Fortunately police officer "Uncle Bob" saved Carter's. After this ... read more
Definitely one of the most underappreciated Lil Wayne releases. I think the good on here massively outweighs the bad. It's certainly an inconsistent project, but a fun one. I feel that this record would be better overall if Wayne had cut some of the poppy/autotune heavy tracks, because they drag the experience down. Going from the album's worst song to President Carter hurts my head. The intro, outro, and interlude are all great. Love that Andre verse ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Young Money...
Well, here's a record i've wanted to review for a while. Continuing my hip hop journey, i felt like it was about time i reviewed a Wayne record. Though there are two tracks here which i already know and really like, there is fifteen tracks total on this project so i'm trying not to have too high expectations.
"Intro" is a kinda unimpressive track overall, but a nice opener. Not really much to say about this one, production and flows are nice, that's pretty much it. ... read more
