all i all i'm sure Waynes fans that have been waiting should be satisfied.
for me, its decent but i probably won't listen to again. my attachment to Weezy has gone.

Waynes moms does sound like Birdman. joint with Travis is great.
Kendrick should have been replaced with Young Thug..that would have been the perfect collaboration for those two.

theres random joints that are coasting along pretty forgettable then all of a sudden he goes off on like the third verse.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

... Last night I cut it off cause i was looking for bangers, actually got through the back half and this is actually quality...D6 Is still far better on some straight spitting shyt, but the album has some legit songs... happy for dude

That muddafukkin Carter 5!

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

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

I wish I knew how to add GIFs to posts cus this is 100% spot on for me after listening without seeing any reviews beforehand.

**EDIT it gotta be a easier way to add GIFs from a mobile than to have to go to the source site**

"This that shyt that give a flower color"

I understand why he fought hard for this album

 

[Fletch]

This Wayne last album? Wow...I thought the was like Jay-Z coming back. Sway last reason said this was the end.

I think Wayne said it was the end of the Carter series not his last album

 

[Cheese McNair]

This isn’t bad at all but I’m only half way through. I’ll probably listen to this for a few more days before I truly know how I feel about this

Edit: just got to Mona Lisa, good track, don’t see how people are annoyed with Kendrick, thought he did good.

 

[Javed]

[Sniper]

After one listen very good album.

It's about that Luca Brasi 3 tho!

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

This is such a great album. 4 listens in and I can say this is probably the 3rd best Carter.
