    Not a bad album. Lil' Wayne has made better though. If you're a die hard fan of Lil Wayne, you'll love it. If you're a casual rap fan, better take a listen before you buy as this is hit or miss. I like more songs than I don't like.

    This album from Lil Wayne's is slightly above average but for his ability we all know he can do better. There are a few tracks that i skip simply cos i dont want to listen to them but then again there are some very good tracks such as Right Above It and YM Salute. Now hes out jail, he has more time to record more tracks and then for all those that arent fond of him, they can judge him onThis album from Lil Wayne's is slightly above average but for his ability we all know he can do better.

Im confident their opinion will change as im sure Carter IV will be a fantastic album.… Expand

    The more lil wayne makes albums the more his lyrics die down. It's going to get to the point where lil wayne cant even rhyme or even right a decent punch line. He should just stop rapping. Or go back to the Tha Carter I-II & Dedication days

    Right Above It is probably the highlight track to this album thanks to the performances of Wayne and Drake as well as it's upbeat, confident tone. Some of the production is a bit out of fashion, except for I'm Single which has a more relaxed tone, and Weezy sounds boring at times but it comes awfully close to Tha Carter III, which is Wayne's best album to this day.

    The occasionally good production and occasionally good bars make this average, but overall it's not a fulfilling listen with not much to come back to.

    It's a perfunctory affair, further fragmented on my download version by the muting of Wayne's stream of expletives, which renders large parts of it unintelligible.

    Human Being seems designed to keep Wayne in the public eye during his big-house stay, but he's a superstar who could pull a J.D. Salinger, and the press and public would still be obsessed with him. If nothing else, Human Being serves as a potent reminder that Wayne is still capable of both greatness and awfulness.
