    Terrible mixtape from Lil Wayne, maybe had like 2 decent songs and 1 good one, others are disposable generic hip hop that we get from everybody else, and in some cases better than this. 3 out of 10

    As someone else already said "This was a great mixtape. Honestly some of the "critics" are against rap culture..."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
