Genres: Rap, Pop-Rap
Redundant, irritating, muddled and embarrassing but picks up towards the end, is how I would describe this album. A lot of rap music is dismissed as violent misogynist thuggery and this is the basic mold for this release, I believe that is simply all entertainment and being outrageous is simply a marketing tool. This isn't to say I don't know when something is bad, this album is bad, but I don't get surprised by the adolescent nonsense. If you really like hearing about Lil Wayne's penis then this album will be the best thing you've ever heard but for me it was boring.
The pop side of his sound comes out in 'Curtains' and towards the middle it stops being outright disposable hedonism in 'God Bless Amerika', rap-rock or metal comes out in 'Hello' which is carried off with intensity but for the most part the album can be avoided. These highlights don't redeem the meandering of the first half and the obnoxious lyrics.
RATING: 2/5
