“The group is going to be Bad Ass Grasshopper,” he reports. Until then, Wayne and Juelz Satana’s duet album, “I Can’t Feel My Face” is being held up with “paperwork” but Wayne promised a single this month.Īs for Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, the MC says the label will release a group album as well. In response, the rapper plans to release the leaked tracks as a mixtape simply called “The Leak.” A new and improved “Tha Carter 3,” according to Wayne, will drop in 2008. And really, that’s all any of his fans could ask for.After releasing “Da Drought 3” mixtape a few weeks ago, Lil Wayne unveiled a YouTube video last weekend, explaining that his upcoming “Tha Carter 3” album was leaked. Wayne still has some corny lines and the album does drag in some spots, but is as solid a body of work as Wayne could create at this point in his career. For an hour and thirty minutes, it’s surprisingly easy to get through start to finish. “Don’t Cry” has a dark chorus from the late XXXTentacion, “Mona Lisa” has Wayne holding his own against Kendrick, “Dark Side of the Moon” is soothing, atmospheric, and paints itself like a grand oil painting. Tha Carter V is a product of literal years of work, and it shows. That’s not to say that most of the tracks here are in need of that push in order to be enjoyable. Though few compared to the rest of the record, the moments of emotional fragility stick out and add just a little more depth to the other tracks. When he takes the time to really reflect on his past, you can’t help but feel wistful. There’s been highs and there have been physics defying lows. It’s been over a decade since Lil Wayne made his debut. They can't wait for your album to come out But what I find myself hanging onto, still, are the moments where the view on Wayne’s legacy is taken from a different angle.Ī lot of people ask me when it's coming out Wayne has no problem going hard into song after song bragging about his status as the self proclaimed greatest of all time. It’s something made especially clear time and time again throughout this album. But though I don’t know the intricacies and the history behind the man all that well, even I can realize that the legacy he has is a long and unique one. I must admit that Tha Carter V is actually my first Lil Wayne album. More than appreciating the slick and smooth production, more than trying to catch line after line as Wayne and company spit hard and focused bars for 23 tracks straight. I find myself hanging onto the poignantly emotional moments on this album more than anything. Review Summary: you've always been my rock
