Tha Carter IV 2011 Album

Review
I was/am not a fan of the previous Cater (1.5/5), but this is a small improvement with some harder beater beats overall. However, for someone lauded for his lyrics, Wayne writes some corny ass shit. The 'Intro' is one bad punchline after another. And while it bangs, whats with 'John'? It's the exact same beat as a million Rick Ross and similar artists' beats. But I guess overall there isn't much new on the production side of things on this album. In the lead up, Wayne said the producers needed to step their game up, I can see why. The lead single '6 Foot 7 Foot' falls into this category perfectly, it feels like a 'A Milli' clone with an overuse of the sample. It never completely grabbed me, but it drops off further after 'John' with some wack crossover tracks, but finishes on a reasonable note with 'President Carter' and the guest filled 'Outro'. - I really need a new NaS solo album. Overall, there is a bit to go back to. 'MegaMan' should get your head bangin', 'She Will' is a fine hardcore pop rap track, 'President Carter' offers some uniqueness lyrically and has nice laid back production, and the guests all come correct on the 'Outro'. Worth a listen with some tracks that may make their way to your portable music device, but overall it's another variable album from Lil Wayne with him continuing to drop off lyrically. Best Tracks: MegaMan, She Will, President Carter, Outro
