Now lets hope the next project from Wayne brings us more Wayne and less Wayne and Friends. It’s great that we finally got the album we have been waiting on since 2013. The Carter 5 is a solid project and die-hard fans will do their best to push this to the top of the Billboard charts. When Wayne goes solo, he morphs back into the Weezy we all came to love. The tracks that feature big name acts often stumble over themselves. Wayne’s strength has always been his penchant to take over a song on his own. “Dark Side of the Moon” with Nicki Minaj is an attempt at being a pop cross-over, but falls short of being anything other than a song that should get skipped immediately. The Swizz Beatz collab, “Uproar” comes off stale as Wayne rhymes over a flip G-Deep’s “Special Delivery”. With over 20 tracks, the album was bound to hit some low-points. “Dope Niggaz” featuring Snoop Dogg, “Let It Fly” featuring Travis Scott, “Start this Shit” with Mack Mane and Ashanti will take you back to the mixtape Weezy. Tracks like “Don’t Cry” featuring XXXtentacion, “Can’t Be Broken”, “Demons” “Dedicate” and “What About Me” featuring Sosamann introduces listeners to a Wayne who is honest and regretful about his past mistakes.Īddiction is a prevalent topic throughout the album.The theme of “women, money, drugs and power” come off more as a pitfall this round and less like the spoils that come with being the best rapper alive like we’ve heard in the past. This album can take the listener on an emotional roller-coaster.
5-years old and much more wiser, Wayne gives us a deeper look into his personal life.
The flashy Wayne we heard on the previous installments is absent for the most part this round. The album opens with a poignant and powerful speech delivered by his mother called, “I Love You D’Wayne”. But with the short attention span most music fans have today, will C5 be able to stand the test of time?Ģ3-tracks deep, Weezy enlists the likes of Travis Scott, Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz, Nicki Minaj, Ashanti and more to join on his triumphant return to music. Completed for sometime now, Weezy released the album the day after his birthday. With his label Young Money Entertainment firmly in his hands, he is now free to release his long-awaited album, The Carter 5. Baby and the F stands for finally.”Īfter years of legal battles over the future of his music career, Lil Wayne is finally a free man.
