Albums Lil Wayne - Tha Carter V (Discussion Thread)

[nairdas]

Oh yeah a big thing he rectified on this album is having most of the songs having hooks. That was a big problem with CIV. Too many songs didn't have hooks. Nothing to really catch on to. Glad he realized you can't do that on that many songs.

Agreed.

C4 had like the first 5 ones with no hooks.

Terrible lol

Wayne rapped his fukking ass off on this project. Let's get that obvious fact out of the way. With that said, this shyt is entirely too long. I found myself asking "Is this over yet?" about a 3/4 of the way through. He could have easily taken 10 tracks off of this and dropped those as a Road to C5 mixtape. shyt he could have dropped half of this album next year as C6. Plus this album falls into the same pattern as his last few, no real theme or direction. But fukk it, this nikka is rapping his fukking ass off

Edit:
My nikka @Gator Reloaded never stopped believing I know @charmander da gawd shed tears of joy listening to this piff

The skits gave it direction

The theme is him being counted out and not breaking down.

A lot of songs about his mind state, not giving up, not Being depressed, his influence etc....

The length kind of messed up the direction but I give him a pass because

1. Streaming era so long albums are more acceptable and good as "play lists"

2. Its been since 2013 without an official release

Dope nikkas is so hard.

I haven't gotten through the whole project yet but this shyt is way better than I thought it'd be. "Don't Cry" is heat. "Let if Fly" is good. I can't really fukk with Swizz in 2018, he's corny to me that track gonna be a skip based off his annoying ass

I was praying for the album to end and then the nikka has Used 2 second to lastLike breh basically made it where you have to listen to this muhfukka from front to backI could also see how he was emulating the flows of his featured artists, almost trying to prove he could hang with any of the currently hailed acts in the business. Kendrick was ready, doeI haven't seen that type of performance from Kenny on a feature in a long time, if ever. The Wayne influence was always apparent, but you could tell dude was hype to be on a track with da gawd. As a fan who has always been critical of Weezy's efforts, I have to give dude props

 

[BedRoomI'z]

This shyt is fukking filthy!
This has turned my whole weekend around!

 

[BK The Great]

Wayne already rapped over that Special Delivery joint on his mixtape

Yeah. It surprised me.
I thought he was done musically lol.


But only things I would change are:

1. Shorten the album to 16 songs

2. Rearrange the track sequencing

3. REMOVE SOSAMANN

Wayne ripped this whole shyt
