    The majority of Sorry 4 The Wait reinforces that he's still capable of doing this [dismantling aggressive beats with purpose and flair], even if it doesn't exactly live up to classic mixtapes in his catalog.

    Sorry isn't in the same league as those Drought tapes, but it's freewheeling fun--and it makes you look forward to the next Carter.

    Some of the hunger and electricity he displayed in his pre-prison era seems to have diminished. This is something to tide people over until his next record, not an artistic statement by any means.

    He literally gives over five minutes of shout-outs, thanking people for their patience, but by the time we get here, our patience is run ragged.

  1. Lil Wayne takes other people's songs and uses them to make one of the greatest rap albums of all time. And it's only a mixtape meant to apologize for taking so long on his REAL album, Whatever it is, it is CLASSIC, and Lil Wayne is about to hold the throne. Expand
  2. Was this a rap album? Lil Wayne seemed to talk through the entire thing, not like he does regularly. However, the album does have a few miracles here and there earning it a mixed review. Expand

    Horrible. Cliched punch lines, REPEATED punch lines that appear multiple times on this tape, and an abundance of trappish Lex-Luger sounding beats. The only good verse was Based God's anyway. Expand
