LIL WAYNE - THA CARTER IV

LIL WAYNE

THA CARTER IV

2011

First up, real fans of Lil Wayne since the beginning know what's up.
Though Carter 3 was a great album, everything went sour after that
and most will say after carter 2. Tha Block is Hot & Lights Out &
anything Hot Boys IS the real Lil Wayne and will always be.
Dude has become a gimmick and only appeals to the ignorant now.
Anyway, lemme break this down, to much chagrin. 
1. Intro
Lemme state it here already, Wayne's voice has become
as annoying as Drake's (whom I blame for Wayne's demise)
With that said this track is kinda killa though. 4/5
2. Blunt Blowin
Easy to dismiss this one, but once the real beat comes
knocking through, this track is sick. Hate wayne's voice
and flow though, but i got passed that here. 4/5

3. MegaMan
Hard beat and a non-soft Wayne. It's a win. 4.5/5

4. 6 Foot 7 Foot (Feat. Cory Gunz)
As annoying as it is, Wayne does go off.
Cory Gunz on the other hand is one of the worst rappers
out right now and his verse starts off as fuck. What a joke.
Fuck him. Anyone else, even Drake and i'd rate higher. 3.5/5

5. Nightmares Of The Bottom
Fuck this shit fo real. worst flow=drake. Way to ruin a
nice lil beat with potential. Yep yep my ass Wayne. 2.5/5

6. She Will (Feat. Drake) 
More drake copycattin...seriously, this is why wayne
is wayne no more. Guess this for the new ignorant
i mentioned before. 1/5

7. How To Hate (Feat. T-Pain)
I don't mind T-Pain, but this is straight bitch. Wayne is worse 0/5

8. Interlude (Feat. Tech N9ne)
This says it all, best track on the alb, but no Wayne in site.
And why is 3 Stacks uncredited?? Just lame. No rating

9. John (Feat. Rick Ross)
Sounds like it should've been on Mayback Music Group's alb.
Ross murders Wayne on his own track. Sad. 4/5

10. Abortion
I actualy had to stop listening to the track in order
to review it. That's how much it annoys. 1/5

11. So Special (Feat. John Legend)
What an ugly beat, this is what's wrong with hip-hop today.
You dissapoint John Legend. 0/5

12. How To Love 
Nice try for real, but we're talking about 
Lil Wayne singing like Drake. I wonder who's the bitch 
in their relationship. 1/5

13. President Carter
Really the only track worthy of the carter legacy
 (and perhaps Megaman). Too little too late. 4.5/5
14. Its Good (Feat. Drake & Jadakiss)
Jadakiss all the way, only reason to listen to this. 3.5/5

15. Outro (Feat. Bun B, Nas, Shyne & Busta Rhymes)
Again no Wayne, I'm not complaining, but c'mon,
on your own album? Not feeling nas too much.
All still murder any other wayne verse on the alb. 
Pointless track and really not that good, by any measure. 3/5
16. I Like The View (Bonus)
At least make a bonus worhty. Ugly as fuck 1/5
17. Mirror (Feat. Bruno Mars) (Bonus)
Ridiculous, in a bad way. Only females will like this. 1/5
18. Two Shots (Bonus)
Perfect way to end this album, with mediocrity. 1/5

REVIEW

As expected, I did not enjoy this and will not willingly
put this on again. Maybe I need more time to get into it,
but there's no excuses for Wayne sounding like Drake 90% of the time.
Seriously what happened? I'm just glad the real Cash Money
is not part of this anymore, Mannie, B.G., Juve, Turk...
real recognize real and thankfully these dudes did with Wayne. 
Dismiss. Wayne died for me after TC3.
Lil Wayne is the Tiger Woods of Rap period. Nuff said.
Overall Score: 4/10
