Lil Wayne :The Cater IV Review.

After releasing his critically acclaimed Mixtape Sorry 4 the wait, YMCMB leader Lil Wayne now also knows as lil Tunechi released his fourth studio album, the Carter IV. There was a lot of anticipation for this album and with the success of the single 6 foot 7 you would think this album would go down as one for the ages... Unfortunately it really did not. The project includes collaborations with many rap Heavyweights such as Rick Ross, Bun B, Tech N9Ne and Nas.

Wayne is definitely an interesting rapper to quote on your facebook status but he has no content or variation between many songs. Besides a few stand out songs it seems that all his rhymes are similar.

Ex: “Fuck these pussy n!gga’s”

“Life’s a bitch”

“Karma’s a bitch”

Lil Wayne DOES have clever lyricism but honestly has no originality whatsoever. I guess it was cool for one or two albums but now it’s completely overdone. If it was not for his image as a thug or a legend and for the rest of Young Money, Wayne would be washed up today.

To be honest, Tunechi should quit while he’s ahead, maybe one more album and he should hang up the microphone. I guess that’s what happens when you show up in a Jennifer Lopez song...

The album also received a lot of hate on twitter, including from Wiz Khalifa saying that Watch The Throne was much better than the Carter IV.

Favourite Song: John ft Rick Ross

Lyrics: 9 /10

Beats and Production: 10/10

Originality: 4/10

Content: 3/10

Final Rating: 6.5/10

It’s definitely not a bad album but it’s really not worth all the hype or even be close to calling Wayne one of the best of all time. If you have some extra money, I would buy this album, if not, there’s a lot better stuff out right now.
