Nov 6, 2013This album is terrible. Compared to Tha Carter 3 and 2, this pales in comparision. Every song on here is except for 6 foot,7 foot. Don't buy this album EVER. Your ears will bleed.
-
Oct 10, 2013How does awful music like this actually get released? This guy has no talent and does not deserve the fame he has. Why do so many people listen to this idiot? In fact the whole record label produce terrible "music" Just quite lil wayne you are not 2pac.

Sep 29, 2013I'd rather dip my dick in a some strong liquor and then drag my balls across a field of Venus flytraps than listen to this cancerous piece of garbage again.

Apr 11, 2013Typical Lil' Wayne, Cursing and rhyming N@#$A with N@#^A in almost all of his songs, This is just as bad as Tha Carter III. Yeah, that's right boys, I said it. Tha Carter III is just as bad as this abomination, WAT IS WRONG WITH YOU 61 PEOPLES DAT GAVE DIS A POPULAR REVIEW?!?!?!

Jul 22, 2012I remember the days when rap was about stuff that actually made sense, such as Tupac's "Changes." I expected Lil Wayne to be better than this. He reuses beats a LOT and has pretty much no originality in this album. This is not worth your money. Do not get it, unless you like whiny voices trying to relate to the "hood."
-
Jul 7, 2012all the attention is put on the singles and that is not something bad but when you hear the other tracks you realise that his lyrics are the worst of any of previous wayne records.
one of the biggest problem for me is the auto-tune in the album. and that although there are good guests like andre-3000 the rest suck like drake and nicki minaj (especially t-pain) -

Feb 4, 2012Lil wayne has put so much effort in his albums that it becomes a trashy album. Ever Since Tha Carter III lil wayne went down hill. I dont like lil wayne but Tha Carter II is one of my favorite albums of all time. If lil wayne can go back to those days I'll start comparing him to artists lil Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, Kanye & Canibus

Dec 3, 2011Piss poor. Literally un-listenable. Wayne fell all the way off. From poor choice of beats to abysmal lyrics, this really is a terrible album and sits at the bottom with rebirth of Waynes discography.
-
Nov 10, 2011Dont care what any one says but Lil Wayne cannot rap anymore, the album has bad production, the songs sound weird. It's an album that proves lil wayne should just retire. HE CAN't RAP.
Yh he can get some big names to rap with him, but that doesn't matter when lil wayne ruins every song with his vocals and slow and uninspiring rapping. Most disappointing rap album of the year. -
Oct 24, 2011There'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.
-
Oct 6, 2011Lil Wayne has got be one of the worst rappers of all time, and this album proves it. Please do not buy this abomination, you will regret it. This is not Hip Hop, it's pop. And Wayne's singing is absolutely awful. I don't know how anybody could like this. The critic's that gave this album a good score must have been paid. Don't buy this.
-
Oct 2, 2011There's plenty of great rapping on Tha Carter IV, but it isn't coming from Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has deteriorated as a rapper and because he has consistently focused on mainstream-pop songs, his rapping skills have too. Shame to the game.
-
Sep 23, 2011I simply do not understand what is so great about Lil Wayne. His voice is horrible (probably because of all the drugs he likes to use), and it is unbearable to have to listen through one of his songs. Surely there must be a more deserving and better artist to spend your money on, right?
-
Sep 17, 2011this album is **** terrible. its like he went to a drive through and ordered a **** with extra cheese. the only good part about this album was when Cory Gunz killed it in "6 Foot 7 Foot" that's really about it.
-
Sep 9, 2011Lil Wayne is one of the worst rappers ever, he proves it here once again. Don't know where his popularity comes from but it's certainly not his talent.

Sep 8, 2011wow!! this is a album from a rapper who call himself the king of hip hop. i am amazed at the poor quality of this album. with songs as poor as how to hate, this album is total. worst CARTER ever. i used to admire lil wayne but not after this album. i thought carter 4 would be the best rap album of 2011 but i was wrong. hell the sequel is still the best rap album on my list.
-
Sep 6, 2011where an album like illmatic, blueprint, and mbdtf is made for the people and have goals of advancing rap, the carter 4 is made for the sheep of society with the lone goal of seliing records.
-
Sep 5, 2011i use to love lil wayne, untill i heard this peice of poo of an album... what is this? its just hurting my ears. i just wanna call lil wayne and say SHUT UP YOU RAP TOO MUCH BULLSHEE IN THIS ALBUM. also carter 3 was 20times better thanks.

Sep 3, 2011This album isn't dope nor is it very fresh -- in both senses of the word. Seems like I've heard this before, oh yes I have, on the radio. Just a bunch of shallow songs that just beg for airplay, that's it. Wayne uses his mixtapes to get his creativity out, and he uses his albums to remain the cash cow that he is. Simple as that.

Sep 1, 2011I''m a huge fan of Weezy and I couldn't wait for this album.
The mixtapes are better than this, even in production value. I'm really, really, really disappointed with Lil Wayne on this one. I always said that if Weezy keeps putting out good mixtapes, I'd keep buying the albums. After this AND rebirth...I'll probably illegally download the next one and then decide if I want to buy it. -
Aug 31, 2011A terrible album. Wayne's flow is very sluggish and lazy, the beats are too simple and generic, and the wordplay is childish. The only thing keeping me from rating this a 0 is Tech N9ne and Andre 3000 killing the interlude and the possibility that this could be his last album.

Aug 31, 2011Just plain terrible. To be fair, I've never been a big Wayne fan, but these are the most uninventive lyrics I've heard from him yet, and the beats (which were fantastic on Tha Carter III) are TERRIBLE. The only redeeming qualities are that 6'7" is an awesome club song, and a few guests are worth listening to, like Jadakiss, t3ch 9ine, Nas, and Andre.

Aug 30, 2011Its crap that is gonna sell regardless. He used to be soo good at rapping. bummer. He just spit lazy lines with no energy. the best song was by Tech 9ne and Andre 3000. the only reason he put Shyne on the album was so he would at least out-shine one person on his album.
-
Aug 30, 2011The punchlines were bad, the beats were bad, the features were alright, and the lyrical ability of wayne was weak. By far the worst Carter album out of the 4. I was expecting better but he failed to deliver.

Aug 30, 2011This album is one big uterus! I see why there is a track called â
-
Aug 30, 2011I would've said that Lil Wayne, Dwayne Carter, the skateboarding rock/rap star has fallen off. Sadly, he wasn't on to begin with. And this album didn't put him on at all.

Aug 30, 2011AS a french who understand a bit english this album is full of Weak punchline overused rhymes the album even with an intro interlude and outro doesn't got any "cohérence" but we can expect a great success worldwide because they"re is so many people who doesn't speak and understand English but lil Wayne slowly getting old sorry for my french
-
Aug 30, 2011This is probably the worst Lil Wayne album he has ever made, how can you call this a hip hop album? This album is so bad, production is cheap and sad. I'm not hating, I was truly a Lil Wayne fan, but from my bottom of my heart, this is the worst album of this year. I'll give 1 point just because Tech N9ne, Bun B and Nas are featured in this album.
-
Aug 30, 2011Doesn't need to be a hip hop stan or lil wayne haters to know that this album is the lowest common denominator in hip hop: corny punchlines, far from cohesive beat selections/empty-head-banger & corny punchlines. Too bad, as Lil Wayne used to be one of the standard-bearing of mainstream hip hop.

Aug 29, 2011When you thought he couldn't get any worse, he does. Lil Wayne is just a disgrace to hip-hop now. The saddest thing is that this terrible album will sell millions and he'll make another one. "If I die today, remember me like John Lennon". I can't listen to this without laughing. The worse thing is that line is from one of the least horrible songs on the album.
-
Aug 29, 2011You have to be mentally unstable to listen to this album. First of all, lil wayne sings too much, when he shouldn't at all. His voice is so unbearable I'd rather watch spiderman 3 on replay. His flow has become so bad, I think Nicholas Cage can act better then that. I only give it a one because the outro and the interlude are good. YOU KNOW WHY? BECUASE LIL WAYNE ISNT IN THEM AT ALL.
-
Aug 29, 2011Lil Wayne did a horrible job on Tha Carter 4...it does not even closely match the level of Tha Carter 3 in quality. You would think after a year in jail he would have something else to talk about or have hundreds of great raps to spit...but no. His lyrics are nothing new, his flow is average, the beats are forgettable and generic and overall it is a bad experience
-
Aug 29, 2011this is pure trash, some of the weakest raps ive ever heard. do not buy this is a pure waste of money.. he should of just stayed in jail so we wouldnt have to him in his leopard pants.
-
Aug 29, 2011Lil wayne lost a fan with this album, his performance last night at the vmas was disgraceful .. i dont think i will ever buy another lil wayne album ever.

Aug 29, 2011I give this album a 4, but then switch it to a 0 because he calls himself the best rapper alive but dropped one of the weakest rap albums of this year. Every song sounds like a filler, and the punchlines sound like a grade 2 made them.

Sep 12, 2011In short Tha Carter IV flops not because it's straight-up bad, but because it's boring.
-
Sep 11, 2011We know he's capable of better. Whether it ever comes together on a Carter release is anybody's guess, but the prognosis isn't good.
-
Sep 11, 2011Beat-wise, IV doesn't attempt to outdo the top-dollar Carter III production, whose murderer's row of producers and beats is likely to remain unparalleled for some time. But Wayne uses the less showy selection this go-round to deliver a definitively rawer album that only smartens the impact of some of his career's best vocals.
