    If you thought him too weird for your tastes previously, Tha Carter IV is the album to introduce you to the never boring world of an artist whose importance remains so significant that, should he finally collapse like the star he is, he's likely to take half the rap game with him.

    Each featured artist at the top of their games, masterfully dominating their segments, leagues above Tha Carter IV's comparatively tired host.

    This is a bad rap album, and one that needed the shock of Internet promotion that the Jay-Z diss on "It's Good" gave it when C4 leaked.

    Tha Carter IV is a major flop with it's inconsistents lack of Lil Wayne. It has good songs but not enough to say it's better than Tha Carter III. Listening to this album it's almost like he's trying to be like Drake. The production is terrible having no stand out beat. He talks about the same things he has been saying. An album with Drake on there twice can't be terrible but it seems has Wayne's laziness can reverse that. I wish I never bought this album!… Expand

    There's nothing of value here. He's not skilled, hard-core, interesting or original. Lil Wayne is an oil spill in the already polluted ocean of today's music that should have been cleaned up much quicker.… Expand
