Odd Future draws fans with online savvy, critics with violent lyrics (May 13) Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III Revised Track Listing New CD Explicit 4. Let's pray he hasn't settled into mediocrity for good.įrank Ocean, Weeknd and Aiko bring chill to R&B’s summer jams (July 22) “So now, instead of pledge, we pray.” Then he congratulates himself with a stonery giggle. “I change the stars on the flag into crosses,” he raps. His verses are nothing more than roundabout boasts, rote tough talk and a few malformed policy initiatives. Instead of punching the gas, he spins his wheels. Writers Alan Parsons, The Alchemist, André 3000 & 60 more. Producers Ayo The Producer, Bangladesh, The Commission (Producer) & 28 more. Four new Wayne visualizers for the songs She Will featuring Drake, Blunt Blowin’, Nightmares Of The.

Featuring André 3000, Birdman, Bruno Mars & 13 more. As part of the continued celebration for the 10-year anniversary of Lil Wayne ‘s Tha Carter IV album, which was on August 29th, a few visuals for the project have now been released. The years-in-the-making ¿Tha Carter IV¿ (Universal Motown/Cash Money) is designed to restore Lil Wayne¿s reputation, but it falls short. The biggest whiff comes with “President Carter,” an Oval Office fantasy that tingles with promise. “I touch the sky/Get the clouds out of my fingernails,” he declares over the strange jazz of “Nightmares of the Bottom.” It's the kind of dreamy image that used to overrun his verses. Imaginative couplets spring up as if by accident. Wayne sounds over it throughout, imitating the laziest cadences of the acolytes signed to his label, Young Money.
It's hard to flush those words out of your head for the remaining 16 tracks.
