Rap-Up.com || Review Roundup: Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne puts on his graduation cap and marches into stores with Tha Carter IV, the follow-up to 2008’s multi-platinum Tha Carter III. The Young Money captain unleashes his long-awaited ninth album with help from Drake, Rick Ross, André 3000, John Legend, Nas, and more, who fill out the 15 tracks on the standard edition. After years of anticipation and several delays, did C4 live up to the hype or fall short? The reviews are in.

USA Today: But now that it’s finally here, Weezy has packed the lineup with more than enough repeat-worthy tunes to make it worth the delays. … He comes armed with a steady stream of punch lines (“When it Waynes, it pours”) over banging beats. 3.5/4

Rolling Stone: Weezy doesn’t have the same speed-demon intensity he had five years ago—and he’s just as casual and sloppy about his approach to official album releases. … The best parts of Tha Carter IV range from “President Carter,” an anti-war rant over a spooky harp loop, to the spaced-out Rick Ross duet “John,” where Wayne says, “If I die today, remember me like John Lennon.” 3.5/5

The Washington Post: Nothing else on Tha Carter IV comes within miles of ["6 Foot 7 Foot"]—and Wayne seems to know it. He already sounds fatigued on the second track, “Blunt Blowin’,” which mutates Aerosmith’s “Dream On” into a club-friendly shape.

The Boston Globe: Wayne makes no attempt to be inventive. “Megaman” sounds like “Ransom,” a three-year-old throwaway that was used more to introduce the world to Drake than anything else. Drake, by the way, offers up a ridiculous hook for “She Will,” but the song sounds like it was split at birth with T.I.’s “Poppin’ Bottles.”

Chicago Tribune: The years-in-the-making Tha Carter IV is designed to restore Lil Wayne’s reputation, but it falls short. At his best, Wayne was positively psychedelic in his wordplay, capable of creating entire alternative worlds out of a few surrealist metaphors. But he sounds slower, more methodical, less unhinged on Tha Carter IV. 2/4

SPIN: We won’t hold Tha Carter IV against Lil Wayne. He remains a compelling artist and a standard-bearer for a generation of endlessly productive rappers. But nothing lasts forever. Weezy is dead. Long live Weezy. 6/10

The Village Voice: Looking for the truly bizarre references and star-eating tendencies of Wayne’s best work? They’re absent on C4, replaced by an apparent interest in being America’s most proficient Blood (“Blunt Blowin’”) who is also an ace cunnilingus performer (“So Special”) and frequent sober strip club denizen (“She Will”).

Rap-Up’s Favorite Tracks: “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “Nightmares of the Bottom,” “She Will,” “So Special”

@carol, Those wouldn’t be considered bad reviews. Those are like B’s and C’s, which is positive to mixed. I agree with Rolling Stone the most. There are some really good parts, but Wayne doesn’t think about how he puts his album together to highlight songs, and for a person that is good for going over different beats and genres, there wasn’t a lot of variety or a theme to explain similarities. There are some really thought out songs on there though…the ones that aren’t are the problem.

When you have so much hype you’re bound to disappoint a few people, but I can honestly say this album is complete garbage. People need to get it through their heads that Wayne fell off hard. The funny thing is they’re actually people saying this album was better than “WTT”. Bragging about being in gangs got old about 10 years ago. I must say the only things I found impressive were T-pain on “How To Hate” & Andre 3k on that Interlude

@DRB, Drake is too busy singing these days. You may as well purchase the latest R&B album for all of that. I enjoyed WTT but you’re right. It wasn’t as good as we all expected it to be. You put two of the greatest on an album and you’d expect it to be on point. Sadly, they do better on their solo projects. Thankfully we have J.Cole, Jeezy, and Nas to look forward to. Weezy lost it after Carter II in my opinion. Carter III was decent but Carter IV is just a mess!

My name being Big Sean doesn’t overshadow the fact that Tha Carter 4 is lackluster and Wayne fades in comparison to Kanye West. Also i am definitely sure the album of Lil Wayne is not of more value than my life but being an ignorant fool as yourself i am not surprised.

6 foot 7 foot is pretty good, but I regret buying this cd. :( there’s probably 3 or 4 goodd songs out of almost 20. At least we still got Kanye, Nicki Minaj (sometimes), Jay-Z and Drake among others still making great hip-hop. Lil Wayne has a great catalogue and should be remembered as a legend!

@Hanz, LMao you should’ve downloaded the leak first! Listen, I’m a HUGE fan of music but there are some artists who aren’t consistent. I need to listen to the album before I buy it. Whether it be a stream or download. When it leaked, it was trending on twitter and if you read the tweets, you’d see that the majority of people said it was terrible. Weezy isn’t consistent anymore. He proved that when he started making pop songs and talking about eating girls out, effing the world, and getting puss in almost every song!

Lil Wayne is a talented rapper, but The Carter IV is probably his worst album ever. For a guy who says he is the best rapper alive, he could had released an album that was much better than this. Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne Album isn’t a hip hop classic, but it is a good album, and much better than The Carter IV. Lil Wayne needs to go back to the drawing board, and rediscover the magic he made with The Carter and The Carter II.

@RDK, here’s a review for you. I liked TC4, only cuz i didn’t know what to expect:

In all honesty, this album has about two or three bad quality songs (“MegaMan” and “Abortion,” if you consider the deluxe edition, “I Like The View”). However, the rest of the songs are either songs you can’t help but repeat again and again, or songs that make Wayne Wayne. If someone is in the mood for witty lines, this album has plenty of it. Out of 10, I give it an 8.5, because of those three misses, and the repetitive lines he uses (e.g., “Weezy F..”) in some of his songs. It may not be the true rap fans/haters want to hear, but it’s all the hip-hop you’d hear banging in cars, clubs, and headphones.

I formed my review without reading any of the “experts.” Hopefully this satisfies you.

August 30th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I agree with Byran, I think Lil Wayne is a talented rapper, but The Carter IV was a major disappointment despite the fact The Carter IV will sell a million copies real soon. Every great rapper has at least one classic album that fans and critics can point to and call a classic. Nas has a classic album in Illmatic. 2Pac has two classics in Me Against The World, and All Eyez On Me. The Notorious B.I.G. has a classic in Ready To Die. Jay-Z has four classics in Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, The Black Album, and American Gangster. Outkast has three classics in Aquemi, Stankonia, and Speakerbox/The Love Below. Kanye West has two classic albums which are College Droput, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Eminem has a classic album in The Marshall Mathers LP. I like Lil Wayne, but Lil Wayne has yet to make a career defining album like the rap artists I’ve mentioned above. The closest to a classic that Lil Wayne has is The Carter and The Carter, and not everyone, including myself believe those are classics. Lil Wayne will always sell records because he has a great fanbase, but unless he makes a game-changing classic other rappers have done before him, and even after him, then he will only be remember as an over-hyped rapper, Lil Wayne has the talent to make a classic in the future, but The Carter IV was over-hyped, and very terrible.

@TRA, I agree and i think because he has such a huge fanbase he has pushed out real storytelling and substance to cater for this new generation of listeners you prefer his profanity to real hip-hop with a message. Lil Wayne is a perfect victim of the music industry these days which is committed to putting out garbage to satisfy kids who are obsessed with carnage in place of real talent and a good message.

@brown, Yes sir! I like the album, don’t no what alot of these people problem is, but if they are going by what the critics say, then I guess they don’t have minds of their own! And before some of these people get all hot and bothered, I read somewhere, his album is going to out sell Jay’s and Kanye’s album, is that true, just what I read?

I gotta say I liked the album. Notes, President Carter, Nightmares of the Bottom, She Will, and 6′ 7′ of course…and these are just my favorites. So many people now think rap should be fast and have some crazy beat or they call it boring, but Lil’ Wayne figured it out in my opinion…he slows down his raps for us to actually HEAR the lyrics without having to look that shit up. All you kids that talk shit on this will say “ahhh nas was awesome.” “andre 3k was awesome.” You just saying that shit cus they are legends and it’s easy to say they’re good cus they are publicly accepted so. Take a sec and listen to what this man says in his lyrics, and how he twists words to make them have so many meanings…very satisfied with it.

Lol wtf?!?! Jay z has four classics lol since when?!? That mutha fucca ain’t got substance, be just rapped about Marcy this, hustling that, and introducing himself as hov along with occasional love affairs and he damn sure don’t offer substance now, y’all just on his dick cuz he is the oldest new York native still rapping.

PAC had substance, but biggie shit was no different than wayne’s, biggie rapped about going to hell, money, hoes and being fat black and ugly he said it hisself. He had stories, yea but no more substance than Wayne, ppl just crown him cuz he got shot and died early

Ain’t nobody bitch about kanye going pop cuz he damn sure did with some of the bullshit he made and he ain’t got substance no more,

I think ppl hate Wayne cuz he ain’t changing or paying attention to the criticism. And I don’t blame him, do what work for you. He just rapping about his life and lately that’s been fucking hoes and making money

And drake has no substance outside of bitching about failed relationships. The old drake was the best drake on comeback season and room for improvement where his flow was ridiculous. Listen to come winter, city is mine, am 2 pm, scorpios mind, comeback season, thats the drake that kanye can’t even fucc with

@Moe, but Lil Wayne rap skills are falling off. his rap alllllll hashtag rap. and this line ends it for me… ” To my niggas in the game, keep the game fair/Players play, coaches coach and cheerleaders cheer…”
