Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV Thread

[EpicForever]

"I don't like what he's saying about how he had to come back because hip-hop's dead and we need him... What the fuck do you mean? If anything it's reborn, so he's probably having a problem with that. You left on a good note, and all of the artists were saying, 'Yo, this is Jay's house. He's the best.' Now he comes back and still thinks it's his house... It's not your house anymore, and I'm better than you."

- Lil Wayne in Complex Magazine (2006)

Now that we got 1 full listen through i'm listening in full 1 more time, this time i'm listening closer & deciding what to delete & what to save to iTunes. Keep in mind aside from a few replays of 6 Foot 7 Foot i've been ignoring all of the previously released tracks on the album (well I heard How To Love once & it sucked)

5.5/10?

Nope, 4/10.

[Master Chief]

^ Ouch. In the VBV scale it isn't THAT bad though. 4/10 in the VBV scale is just below average, right?

In other news, Tech N9ne made Andre 3K look slow, boring and dull. There's such a vast difference between Tech's strong, clear and energetic delivery and Andre's delivery. On top of that, Tech's flow was much more faster and simply better. Andre was never that good anyway but still... wow. if he did that to Andre, imagine what he would do to Wayne. And 3 Stacks had a very good verse, better than most of what I've heard from him.

Weezy would have died on that song tbh. Smart decision to stay out of that one. I am now convinced that Tech N9ne will rape any other rapper on a song... and he can do that ONLY with his flow. He can talk about his favorite episode of Teen Mom and he'll still be better just cause of his mind-blowing flow/rhythm.

With that said, this album is pretty impressive so far despite the best song being Interlude (it's not gonna get better). I'm currently replaying Interlude but I'll continue with the rest of the album after a few more plays.

I need professional help. I'm becoming EminemBase 2.0

[slimsoxshady]

ending of President Carter is epic

[VenomBlackViper]

This album is bumped down to a 2-3/10 now, same rating as Encore. That is all.

lol @ Wayne & Drake shots at Ye & Jay haha

Drake:
"Please pardon my brother
He’s just angry at you niggas who dont have your heart in your rap shit
And got too f-ckin comfy, cause we still f-ckin hungry"


Wayne:
'talking about baby money? I got your baby money. Kidnap your bitch and get that 'how much you love your lady' money


*dead*

[EpicForever]

So Wayne with your recent diss to Jay's woman I guess your not afraid to have this happen to you again:

Rap music is something ain't it? The way these pictures is painted

You swear these niggas is dangerous, the gangsta shit they be saying

Lock em up in the booth with a half ounce of that cannabis

Sit back, and watch the outlandish shit they portraying

But, soon as you see em they freeze up like in museums

Them statues, you like, "Is that the dude, that said he was gonna (pop you)"

Niggas get running before you finish ya sentence

And then they back to riffing, when they off at the safe distance

You like, you was just here, you disappear like magicians

In thin air, I'm like damn, nigga at least keep it consistent

I hear you baiting me lately, I been doing my best just to stay hater free

Still watch what you say to me

Sooner or later I take you up on your offer

And put you all in ya place like I'm replacing ya father

You talking, to the author, the architect of The Blueprint

My DNA in ya music, muthafucka you stupid?
===== Jay Z, Watch What you say to Me.
