stylistically yes, but Trippie always does that weird vocal droning, that X was doing on here.

Cheap in terms of quality or just beat selection, I'm sure Fabian engineered this like he did all the others (Carters).

The latter quarter of the album is the best.

I fukks with wayne heavy. This ain't it.
-Too many mellow tracks, and piano based beats
-Too much misused autotune, at least in the first half (he used it a lot from like 2008 on, but never bothered me this much)
-Not a lot of bangers or songs for the Radio (Not even a She Will like from C4). Which he is basically know for. Wayne is older now though. Maybe he don't got the same energy.
-Production is the worst of the series (Problems is the most generic trap beat i ever heard, and while generic can sometimes be good, Wayne deserved better), who is the executive? Fire him/her.
-Needed more relevant features (Future, Meek Mill, Bieber, Weeknd etc), and the features that were there seemed as unmotivated as Wayne (rip XXX).
-Sounds like a retirement/goodbye/rip album (Wayne NEVER starts his album off with these type tracks)
-You can tell on Mona Lisa that's TPAB era Kendrick (sounds dated)
-Sounds Depressed, unmotivated on most tracks
-Damn near more singing than rapping
-No Drake feature???
+Still some witty bars, but it's basically in spurts
+Let It All Work Out is a good outro
+Not a lot of p*ssy reference bars
Sorry 4 the Wait 2, and D6 part 1 was WAY better than this. He sounded like he had something to prove on those. ESPECIALLY S4TW2. Shyt i'm bout to go back to S4TW2 tomorrow, and delete this.
I think Wayne creatively is done. He can still kill OTHER nikkas beats though, because theres a source material he can go off of. Plus he's motivated by the original track, so sometimes he'll try to out do it. When it comes to making his own shyt, i think he has no direction, and is less motivated. This album in particular i think he was going through some things through a majority of it, so that didn't help. Even C4 is better than this. Doesn't even sound like a "Tha Carter" series album. Them albums have a combination of:
club/radio songs, and songs for the ladies (Go DJ, Lollipop, How to Love etc)
serious reflection of society songs (Tie My Hands)
Songs addressing the culture/hip hop (Best Rapper Alive, Dr. Carter)
songs for the streets/bars (BM J.R., Tha Mobb, Hustler Musik, John, You Ain't Got Nuthin')
Fun songs also for the radio, aimed for the HS audience (A Milli, 6 foot 7 Foot)
And the Carter 3 sessions/leaks (Drought is Over 2, 4) is still life
. This is lifeless.
2.5/5 stars

Call me Dad
me being a "listen front to back, no matter what, then give a rating" type of guy............. i can understand how long and extensive that is when it's bad music. Yea I can sit down with Cuban Linx and feel it out... But then it's time to listen to Logic and I'm dying the whole way throughHow yall nikkas coming out with reviews when the album just came out
The next man might hear 30 seconds into a track, be like "beat wack, first 8 bars was trash, next".......... and when they tell me it's trash, I'd believe him. You can't expect everyone to sit through 60-80 mins, when they can determine they don't like the shyt in 15-20
It's literally one of the most bytch made song of this generation .I actually think Marvin's Room is one of the most important songs of this decade. shyt embodied the, "lets glamorize thots, hoes, low-self esteem broads" that he ushered in.

Some y'all really complaining about no Drake feature?
Wayne dont fukk with that Pedo like that and dont need him fukkin up the pace of this album. He would have just got outshined again anyway. 8/10 album after 2 spins

@ ppl saying they disappointed in this. This drugged up n1gga has sound like this on every album. I never got the hype. Its a struggle just to sit and listen to him force out these wack azz lyrics
