Albums Lil Wayne - Tha Carter V (Discussion Thread)

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

No, and it's one of my bad marks on the album. Every installment of Tha Carter features that ubiquitous, non-sequitur banger that takes hip hop by storm.

Go DJ. Fireman. Best Rapper Alive. 3 Peat. A Milli. 6 foot 7 foot.

Those are the songs where Wayne is at his most arresting, appealing, and brilliant -- I don't get those feelings off any songs on this tape.

However, this is still an interesting album and it feels like a culmination of all the other bits of his previous Carter's. It's just missing that one anthem.

thats cause his aim was just to please the wayne fans. the original was double disc and thats where he was going to have more hits.

u can tell just by the rollout of this; with all the bullshyt he went through with c5, he probably just wanted to drop it and be done with it.

This is facts. Hate when people say wayne was gone, even during the cash money shyt he was dropping some heat (aside from nc2)

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Album is straight but honestly his OG Carter V track "Gotti" feat Styles P and Jadakiss is better than everything on here


Likewise that Black Friday freestyle Kendrick did was better than everything on DAMN


Never understood why nikkas leave their best stuff OFF their albums

Because they getting more for it by giving it up as a feature

This shyt gets me too, I didn't fukk with everything hut nikkaz acting like SFTW and FWA wasn't crack are crazy

Wonder if Wayne saw this before he grabbed them vocals

I want to give an award to Lil Wayne for being the comeback rapper of the year

Im shocked at how good C5 is


It's a lil too lengthy and some of the beats sound cheap/medicore but the rapping on this? He sounded as good as he did in YEARS!!!

I dnt think anybody does.
Havent heard anybody listening to it in years. Even passing cars. Not even Alright.

It's one of those albums for me where I feel like it's actually Kendrick's most focused and best album in terms of content and theme, and I respect the album a lot for it.

But I couldn't find myself revisiting it more than maybe once a year if that. No replay value, but it's still a musical masterpiece. It's kind of like Ready To Die, I think it's BIG's best album but you won't catch me listening to it much randomly in the whip.

I didn't like SFTW and FWA didn't leave a last impression on me.

There's songs off C5 I will go back and revisit.

But I'll probably go back and check out FWA and see how it holds up.

Same with the kenny but i listen to RtD all the time.
Aint even 30...still too old.

 

[dem bath salts]

And he made it look easy
My nikka Weezy still got it
Couple nikkas in the rap game bout to get really lean

Hip hop is better with Wayne as a factor

 

[360dagod]

The horns on the hook is missing....

 

[raw613]
