    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.

    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.

    Unlike Dedication 2 or Da Drought 3, Sorry 4 the Wait sounds like the work of a mortal human being. Happily, that mortal human being still happens to be very good at rapping.

    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.

    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.

    This was a great mixtape. Honestly some of the "critics" are against rap culture...
