In anticipation for his 4th studio album C4, the rap heavyweight Lil Wayne recently released a 12 song project that included many freestyles and a few collaborations, notably from the TRUE lyricist Lil B.
In all honesty, I am not the biggest Weezy fan due to his mainstream projects such as songs with Jennifer Lopez or Jay Sean, his inconsistent lyricism, and that pathetic freestyle he delivered on Tim Westwood.
On the other hand, on this Mixtape we see some classic Wayne style beats comparable to the sounds on the Carter 1 which was Wayne’s most successful work to date. It might be fair to say there was no commercial sound or auto tuned choruses’ with some pretty decent lyrics.
The downfalls on this Mixtape is that just like in most of Wayne’s work, the 12 songs are just about him banging girls, smoking pot and his money. This definitely got very repetitive and started to annoy me a long time ago.
All in All, The project was really not bad from Wayne and probably gave me a reason to buy his upcoming album. If he can stay away from a commercial sound and a mainstream look it might be Wayne’s BEST work to date.
