Wayne is not, nor has he ever been, the best rapper alive. A decade later, that claim seems just as prophetic as it does ignorant. On Tha Carter II, which remains Wayne’s magnum opus, he anointed himself the “Best Rapper Alive”. This is, in part, due to the fact that Wayne has always seemed comfortable labeling himself. Any consumer with an opinion on popular music shows no hesitation labeling Wayne whether that label be one elevating him to the status of all-time great or dismissing him entirely and blaming him for unfortunate trends in current hip-hop. On the FWA closer, Tune sums up his top priority on the hook: “But I got to get that paper baby…/ ‘Cause this game f**k everybody.” Let’s hope he breaks free (f’real) on Tha Carter V.By Zak Kondratenko 7 years ago Follow Tweet
#Lil wayne free weezy album descargar professional
As a new chapter unfolds in Wayne’s professional life, his music reflects that he still gives zero f**ks about a Baby beef or even a Young Thugga. While majority of the album revisits topics Wayne has touched on before, there are glimmers of the Weezy F. “I got a phone in one hand and a skateboard in the other.”įWA probably wasn’t meant to be a hip-hop classic, but it’s an okay display of his talents. “Honestly, I do it with my eyes closed,” he recently told Nawlins Q93’s Wild Wayne. While some tracks may sound lazy to the ear, it also stays true to Weezy’s nonchalant creative approach to music. The most unique collab comes courtesy of “London Roads,” which actually employs frequent Young Thug producer, London On Da Track. While Wayne spits his usual randomness on “I’m That Ni**a,” the energy is on a 100 paired with a solid sixteen from HoodyBaby. For the James Brown-sampled “I Feel Good,” Weezy does a solid job channeling the late soul singer’s uplifting spirit.

Even on “Without You,” featuring Rihanna’s “BBHMM” songwriter, Bibi Bourelly, could be interpreted as either a #message to his ex or Birdman. “My Heart Races On” serves as the final sendoff, soundtracked by a traditional New Orleans brass band with rising singer Jake Troth on the folk-y hook. Replaced with fiery rage, though, is a somber track that really kicks off a musical funeral service to his Cash Money days as he repeats, “Rest in peace to the Cash Money Weezy, gone but not forgotten.” As previously shown on other songs like “Mirror,” “Tie My Hands,” and “Shoot Me Down,” Wayne lets us into his warped, troubled mind on occasion. The Kane Beats and Vinay-produced “He’s Dead” picks up where “CoCo” from Sorry for the Wait 2 left off in driving home the point that he is declaring his independence from Birdman and Cash Money Records. “Glory,” while flawed, shows Wayne in top form, showcasing his sharp rhyme game: “Sippin’ syrup like ginger ale, but I’m the quickest snail/From here to hell, I hear them hail, I give them hell/I’m spittin’ hail, I’m Clinton, well, I did inhale/These niggas frail, they Chip and Dale.” With the posse cut “Murda” featuring Capo, Cory Gunz, and Junior Reid, the legendary reggae artist sets the tone with the hook as Weezy spits, “AK bullets move mountains/Break them bitches down to pebbles/That tough talk is like music to my ears so keep it acapella/Based on a true story we not worry you too worried/I faced my fears and told them motherfuckers y’all too gorgeous.” Flashbacks appear from happier times of Wayne a la “A Milli” and “6 Foot, 7 Foot.” Wayne proves that even on his worst day, he still means trouble for some of your favorite rappers.įWA‘s other saving grace is the level of depth he goes into his personal life. Still, Lil Wayne proves to be a beast on the mic. Let’s be honest, who’s checking for a Lil Wayne love song like “Thinking About You” besides, maybe, Christina Milian? Especially when he sing-raps hot garbage lines like, “Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay/Can’t trust these dog a** hoes today.” Sound familiar, doesn’t it? The project suffers from tired concepts. “I push his a** in the wishin’ well, then wish him well,” he raps. On the disturbing “Psycho,” Weezy spits, “I thought I was whippin till that pu**y whipped me/I fell asleep in it like Whitney.” References from Tha Carter IV are subtly littered throughout the album, like on “Glory,” the first single that was released exclusively by TIDAL. One would think after the Emmett Till fiasco, he would be more careful with how he uses late legends in similes. Many of Wayne’s bars have devolved into a syrupy, random, uninspired mess that can range from uncreative to inept.
