Remember when he remixed Tha Carter III? I love these hip-hop full-circle moments. This record could’ve been dumpster juice, and Nicki’s vocals might get old sooner than later, but right now they sound sweeter than Cupid's Cocktail. These two are like two alien lovers making out in public and you can’t look away. She has to do vocal stretches before trying that again. I’m usually not a big fan of her singing and, yeah, that high note was not for her. Nicki just came in smoother than Michael Jackson rising from the casket. This is like a mature version of an idea that would’ve gone on Rebirth. Wait, the drums just added the missing flair. I’m not Pink Floyd-savvy but I hope this song title is a PF homage.
This is slower, like sitting on the roof and staring at the stars waiting for the sky to fall. Shout out to my friend Dom who just texted me, asking how Wayne is rapping this good. This album might be more updated than the iPhone’s recent iOS. Wayne said he listens to Bono and you listen to Donald. I haven’t been the biggest fan of Swizz Beatz post-Ruff Ryders work I wish his beats sounded richer. I don’t know what happened to Wayne but this isn’t Ali ready to retire. “ I sleep with the gun and she don’t snore” may be a little cheesy but I laughed. Wayne came in and snatched every dollar from the beat’s pocket. A record that demands you to stand up and lose your mind. WHOA! SWIZZ BEATZ! And he sampled “Special Delivery.” I’m almost certain Wayne did something over this sample before. OBAMA! The clip of Obama mentioning Wayne is beautiful. This is an elder statesman sitting on his throne and demanding you remember who he is! KEEPER. It feels so good to hear him putting together records again. “ If I taught you some shit that’s like Harvard.” Wayne is giving me heavy 2 Chainz vibes.
“ I turned a goddamn into God’s Plan.” I’m hearing bars! Wayne just said we need Barack. I couldn’t appreciate it until sitting with Dedication 6: Reloaded, but Wayne can dance with these flows. He has become a magician at finding new pockets. These keys and Wayne’s flow are forming a cyclone. I’m 85% sure he’s pronounced that young man’s name wrong three times but if Wayne called me Yohgurt I would still answer. It’s not lyrically heavy, but there is gravity to this vibe. “ That woman carried the future and Tunechi was born.” I like this a great deal. He’s walking me through a graveyard in his mind. Sharp enough to be packaged as a razor blade. He’s super focused, laser-sharp, and introspective. The drop was heavy, like having five 100 lb.
Honesty hour: this will be my first voluntary listen to XXX. Wayne’s lighter flicker is to hip-hop what LeBron James throwing chalk in the air is to the start of an NBA game. I don’t know the direction of this project but BOY, I’m even more excited. She is so proud and thankful for him, I’m choked up. Wayne lost both his father and stepfather so early imagine that toll on her. There are countless raps with her named mentioned (*cues up the third verse on “Playing With Fire”*). This is the most emotional intro of Wayne’s LONG career. Wayne’s mom kicks off the album, an instant classic. Z, how about a Red Bull sponsorship? The official energy drink of the 1 Listen Review. Check out the Complete Edition now, and keep an eye out for Wayne’s next onslaught of releases in the coming months.Twenty-three songs, guys. Though some once felt that Weezy’s fourth Carter was a disappointment following Tha Carter III, hindsight has been quite kind to the album, which encapsulates a sound an era that many have become quite nostalgic for. What we are getting, however, is a version of the project that includes all of the previously released bonus tracks under one roof: “I Like The View,” “Mirror” with Bruno Mars, “Two Shots,” “Up Up And Away,” “Novacane” with Kevin Rudolf, and “I Got Some Money On Me” with Birdman.ĭespite the fact that die-hard Wayne fans have probably heard all of these several times over, given that we’re officially looking at ten years of Tha Carter IV, it feels like the perfect time to dive in and revisit the once-divisive project. Today mark the tenth anniversary of Tha Carter IV, an album that has been through alot in recent years, Weezy has decided to bless his fans with a brand new updated version of the project, billed as a Complete Edition.Alas, we’re not looking at any new or unreleased music from Tha Carter IV era, so those hoping for a few b-side surprises might be disappointed. The self-acclaimed god of rap, Lil Wayne is preparing to release three brand new albums - I Am Not A Human Being 3, Collegrove 2, and an untitled Rich The Kid collab album - but while we talking about the future, he decided to bless us with alittle from the past. Lil Wayne put together the collection of beloved bonus tracks on the official release of “Tha Carter IV (Complete Edition).
