Lil Wayne: Tha Carter IV (Target Bonus Tracks)
So these two tracks home with CD version that's exclusively at Target. Honestly, I'd say buying it on iTunes is better because it's cheaper. And because the iTunes bonus track is wayyy better than these two. If you are gonna go support him and buy the Target version, go right ahead (I'm gonna). Anyways, here are the two tracks.
1. I Got Some Money On Me (feat. Birdman) - Wayne's lyrics are dope. But this beat is sooo damn boring! And Birdman's incoherent ramblings kill this song for me. This was the only song I won't be keeping from C4 because I can't get passed this shitty beat.
http://hulkshare.com/1tzp99ulcdi7
2. Novacane (feat. Kevin Rudolf) - This beat is awesome!!! Reminds me of the "La La La" instrumental. And the switch to Kevin Rudolf's chorus is awesome. As for Wayne, his lyrics were nice. But his off-key singing is a little tough to here. It's definitely a good track, but I wish he had just rapped the verses. I mean you've already got Rudolf singing an awesome chorus, why would Wayne also sing? And it was such a great beat to flex on! Wayne coulda MURDERED IT. Ah well, I still fucks with it. Edit: I don't know how I missed this. The song is about his cocaine addiction. Keeping that in mind makes the song A LOT better. So guess what haters? Turns out C4 does have a deep and on topic song. Although it's hard to find, Wayne's clearly talking about breaking the addiction to cocaine in this song. This song is wayyyy more dope with that knowledge.
http://hulkshare.com/5aj0t35fdcgz
I can see why these two were bonus tracks for just one store. They aren't good enough to be on any iTunes version (which is where most people will be DL-ing it). If you want one more song with Wayne rappin' over a simple 808's oriented beat, then the Money on Me track is for you. But if you were hoping that C4 could be a little more diverse, then "Novacane" will be excellent for you.
This marks the end of the C4 countdown. Lemme just say that it only gets better with time, so go out and buy a copy of this disk!!!

Lil Wayne: Tha Carter IV
This was by far my most anticipated album of the last three years. After a series of excellent singles, the album finally drops.. Here's what I think:
1. Intro - First off, this damn instrumental is way too slow. I was hoping for something fast paced like "3 Peat." Wayne's flow is pretty weak here. Furthermore, his lyrics are a little lackluster. Not a good start to a "classic album" by bragging about riches and smoking blunts. That Helen Keller line was nice though aha.
2. Blunt Blowin - Well here's a nice turnaround. This was the fan favorite when the album leaked. The first minute is slow paced with Weezy laying down some sentimental rhymes about the rap game. Then suddenly the beat drops and you just wanna jump out of your seat. Develop (the guy who produced Fireman) definitely did a nice job with this one. The voice effects on that last verse really brings you back to C2. If this isn't the "old Weezy" then I don't know what is... Posse cuts with dope punchlines and incredible energy. I fucks with this one. Edit: I just realized that this song sounds a lot like "Bill Gates."
3. Mega Man - The moment I saw this title in the tracklist, I knew it would dope. The bass in this song is crazy. There isn't even a fucking chorus. Just a minute of Wayne going in. I coulda died at that Burger King line. This fool's a comedian aha. My boy Andriy pointed that this beat sounds a lot like "Ransom."
4. 6 Foot 7 Foot (feat. Cory Gunz) - A Milli on steroids? Hell yes! This was the slapper of the first quarter of the year. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing this song. Bangladesh crafts a flawless beat with a nice "Banana Boat" sample. Wayne has countless quotable rhymes. People are still goin' ape shit to that Lasagna line. This album is starting off with some hardcore jams.
5. Nightmares of the Bottom - This next transition is perfect. The beat definitely slows it down a bit. But it's also got that CRAZY bass, which ties it together with the last 4 tracks. This one's got the top 3 best lyrics on the album. His punchlines are really introspective with lines like "Life is a course, and imma shoot for par." The only complaint I have with this track is that I wish Wayne had used the same energy he used when he performed Nightmares at the Unplugged concert.
6. She Will (feat. Drake) - You already know how I feel about this song. Best single in the Carter series hands down. There's so many quotables in this one. My latest favorite is: "some people hang you out like a towel rack, I'm all about I give the rest of the vowels back. The only thing I can say is that I wish they had just given Drizzy a verse rather than repeat his chorus 3 times at the end. This album is starting off HOT (excluding the intro).
7. How To hate (Feat. T-Pain) - ...And just like that I spoke too soon. This ones straight garbage. T-Pains verse is tough to listen to. His chorus is catchy, but has no substance. Then the beat drops and Wayne gets his "I'm Single" flow on (which is good). Unfortunately, he doesn't say anything worthwhile in the first verse. His second was a bit better. But this track was lackluster. The beat was actually really good and this one coulda had potential. But it kinda sucks. I guess it will do well on the radio, but honestly I don't even see that happening. This shoulda been scrapped and replaced with "Mirror"
8. Interlude - Wayne isn't even on this one. But it's got the same beat as the intro. Tech straight kills it. Wayne shoulda gone in like that on his intro. Also, Andre 3000 (of OutKast) makes a surprise appearance. His verse is pretty good, but 3 Stacks can do way better. Dope track though.
9. John (feat. Rick Ross) - This was my favorite single from C4. She Will was the best single, but this track was my favorite. First off, by far the illest instrumental on Carter IV. Initially, I wasn't wild about this song cuz Ross has one (or two) too many verses on the track. But it grew on me a lot. Wayne's second verse was not great. But his first one was ill, and the energy level is so high that I love it. Even though it was lyrically a little lacking, John got you feeling upbeat and crazy. This one's really good. It grows on you.
10. Abortion - No, Wayne doesn't speak his thoughts on Abortion (as interesting as that would have been). Right away I recognized the song. Two years ago, a dope Alchemist song leaked with Wayne on the chorus and Travis McCoy rapping. It was called "Know Your Name." Well guess what, this track is almost the same (no, that's not the bad thing). The chorus was reworked so that the autotune was more on-key, and StreetRunner reworked the beat into a true banger. Oh, and there's no Travis McCoy. His punchlines are crazy on this one: "Double R, I'm a rebel with a reason. Sometimes you gotta fight the devil with a demon." His delivery is also NICE as he puts real emphasis on his dope lyrics. And honestly, it was kinda refreshing to hear him with a little autotune. It's been almost 2 years since I heard a Weezy track with autotune. I forgot that his choruses actually sound good with a little autotune added to them. Oh and it's hands down my Favorite Song!!!
11. So Special (feat. John Legend) - At first this song sounds perfect. The beat is like a love song/trunk banger/club hit. Legend's chorus is gorgeous. He's singing a lot lower than he usually does, but he pulls it off. Wayne's definitely spitting to the ladies. But I feel that his lyrics are a little too sexual. I mean Legend's chorus is a total crooner, but Wayne's lyrics are about eatin' pussy. I just felt that Wayne shoulda try to talk about why his girl was so special, rather than talking about his sex game. But it's whatever.. the track just sounded a little awkward. If you ignore the lyrics and just listen for the punchlines, you're gonna love this one. Cool N Dre really hooked Weezy up with a hot beat.
12. How To Love - Ok, so this was way outta Wayne's lane. And he pulled it off. It's a little out of place on this boomin' album, but it's a good song in itself. In terms of a pop single, it's definitely quality. The lyrics are pretty decent, and it's a real summer song. Not to mention the video was ridiculous. Like for real, it's a tear jerker. I respect him for making this one because he stretched beyond his limits. It's nothin like anything Wayne's ever done.
13. President Carter - Wayne's best lyrics on the album are this track. The beat reminds of that song from '07 called "Outstanding." Weezy speaks on his domineering presence in the rap game. His speech at the end: "Gorillas in suits, the holy war, the spiritual troops, fighting over the mythical truth, drowning in the political soup, they shoot missiles and nukes, taking out such a pivotal group, the body count is the physical proof, and they thought drugs were killing the youth." Damn if he had spat like that the whole album, this shit woulda been ridiculous. Amazing track.
14. It's Good (feat. Jadakiss & Drake) - This one's been gettin buzz all across the internet. Jadakiss is a great rapper but his verse sucks. Drake's is really short and not all that great. But Wayne though.. his verse was mad. The Cool N Dre beat was really hard on this one, and Weezy's energy was perfect. And his diss.. that was crazy. "I think you pussy cat, hello kitty." A lot of classic Wayne punchlines here. He's really in his comfort zone on this one.
15. Outro (feat. Bun B, Nas, Shyne & Busta Rhymes) - Continuing the Intro and Interlude pattern, Bun B starts this one off nice. His flow is mad nice. Then Nas comes in AND TEARS THIS BITCH UP. Lord almighty he murders it. Shyne... was awful. And Busta is in typical fashion. I still can't feel this beat. It's wayy too repetitive.
16. I Like the View - This is the third Cool N Dre beat on the album. It sounds like it was recorded during the No Ceilings era (I'm sure it wasn't). The beat is turned up a little too high so you can't catch all the lyrics. They're pretty good, but there's one too many corny lines. This definitely belonged as a bonus track.
17. Mirror (feat. Bruno Mars) - When I heard that Bruno Mars was on C4 I was pissed. But he actually KILLS the chorus. REO's chorus-filled beat matches perfectly with Mars's heartfelt chorus. Weezy uses his relaxed flow and works just as to plan. His lyrics are probably the second best on the album. This is just about the only song where he stays on topic the whole way through. I can feel that this was written in jail, because he really reminisces about his past life. The whole idea of looking through a mirror to see his past is cliche, but he really delivers. Why this didn't make the album? Idk. It would have been a number one single hands down. Too bad.
18. Two Shots - The beat here is simple (kind of an A Milli concept). His flow is really weird on this one, but I actually liked it. This track had love and hate reactions when it first leaked. The funniest line of the whole album is on this song: "She cross the line like a Mexican." Aahah Wayne is a fuckin' clown. Also, Wayne uses his Spanglish/Jamaican voice at the end for the first time in 4 years. The track sounds like it was recorded during the I Am Not a Human Being sessions, but it's pretty good. Dope punchlines.
19. Up, Up and Away - No, this is not the Cudi song. It's the iTunes exclusive bonus! It features some DOPE Timbaland production (seems like the first good beat Timbo's made in years). The instrumental switches up a whole bunch throughout the song and it's honestly one of the best on the album. Wayne's flow is awesome! There were many songs (such as the Intro) that he used his slow flow, but this one features his fast flow. "Her mouth is like my house, so I guess you could say I'm coming home." There's a shitload of quotables on this one. Why this didn't make the album? I have no idea.
So how did C4 fair? Well first off I'd say buying the deluxe version is necessary. Wayne sent Cortex (Wayne's manager) 30 songs to choose for the album. And it sounds like Tez didn't make the best choices. Making "Mirror" and "Up, Up and Away" was a huge mistake. Also, "How to Hate" should have been scrapped or sent to T-Pain's album. So not only did he pushback the album too much, he also didn't put enough songs on the regular version of the album. It's not that Wayne's fallen off, it's that the people around him have really started to slack. He's just not getting enough push from his label. C4 shoulda been on every billboard in America. It was the most anticipated album of the last 5 years.
But beyond his label issues, the album was good for it what is was. The main issue with the album was the perfection of the previous Carter album. The first issue was the beats. There wasn't anything as catchy as "Lollipop" or as soulful as "Comfortable." A lot of the beats were simple and based around 808's. The beats sound extremely dope while you ride around in the whip, but through headphones they sound simple. Also, there weren't any REALLY deep songs like "Tie My Hands" or "Dr. Carter." I feel that Wayne's gotten too much in his head that he's a punchline rapper. He's convinced that people want that "raw rap" full of punchline after punchline... And who can blame him. That's what his fans asked for after "Rebirth." But honestly, I wish he had made at least one song where he really stayed on a serious topic.
But here's the good parts. There wasn't any pop sell out tracks (C3 had Lollipop, Got Money, Pussy Monster, etc.). They were all exclusively for hip-hop fans. People wanted to hear Wayne RAP when he got out of jail. And that's just what he did. He gave his fans 21 fresh tracks full of crazy bars. Each time you listen through, you find twenty new "quotables." Even though he's entirely become a punchline rapper, he's good at it. No one else can spit one liners like Weezy in the game. No one. He's at the top of his metaphor lane.
This album flowed better than any of the Carter's (and other hip-hop albums of this year). The transitions from track to track. I still can't get over the 6'7 to NOTB to How to Hate movement.. Genius! You really gotta listen to the album as a whole. If you buy a few tracks, you're not gonna like it. The tracks are similar, but not to the point of getting bored of the sound. Although C3 had songs of almost every possible genre and sound, the album had no flow between song.
So what's my final thoughts on the album. Well it's growing on me. It's in a toss between my favorite album this year (competing with Goblin). I actually hadn't listened the full thing in consequential till today. But now that I have, I can safely say that I like this album more. It's been getting described as "disappointing"due to the comparisons to C3... which is understandable. Carter III had more substance and more versatile beats. But try not to compare the two, because they're completely different albums. And Wayne's a different artist at this point. You can just feel that he's trying to play up his most well-known trait; he's excellent with flipping words and phrases. Wayne's gone to his roots and pulled out a HARDCORE album. After giving the world a rock album, Weezy gives his fans what they asked for. A damn hip-hop album. There's really no low points in Carter IV. The high points aren't as good as Wayne can be. But the key word to this album is: consistency. So did Wayne's album live up to the hype? Yes. He put out a great album. His lyrics were better than I expected. Is the album classic? Probably not. There were moments where Wayne flirted with "classic" (such as at the end of President Carter) but I don't think he hit the mark. But then again.. have there really been any classic albums this year? Nahh. As the album grows on me, my faith is further restored in Wayne. I hope his career continues to ensue and may there be many more Carter albums of the year.
And I'm gonna finish with this final question. Was this album the best album of the year? I can't decide yet. I know it's better than Watch the Throne. Compared to Goblin? Well Tyler really spoke from his heart on that album. But it had it's low points (Radicals & Bitch Suck Dick). Whereas Carter IV had one (How to Hate). And How to Hate wasn't even that bad for a radio song. Wayne's second verse was mad nice. So I think that Carter IV actually might be the better album.
Now was it my favorite? Well fuck yes. Carter IV made me so proud to be a Weezy fan. He's back!

Smoke DZA: Personal Party (feat. Curren$y)
Man, Curren$y has been all over the place this week. New leak from Smoke's "Rolling Stoned." This album is shaping up to be in the top albums of this year. Smoke is sounding so good over these smooth beats. Hope the rest of the albums sounds like this.
http://hulkshare.com/vcrgsgb3c4vq
Curren$y: Smoke Somethin' (feat. Lil Wayne)
FUCK YESSSS!!! Finally these two reunite after label disputes made Curren$y split from Young Money. Just two of the best rappers in the game spitting over "Elevators." I never thought I would say this, but these two dude's give Outkast a run for the best track over this incredible beat. Let's hope Wayne and Spitta continue making music together.
http://www.mediafire.com/?s186otvexymeyhi
Kevin D'Wayne: The Commitment
Found this guy this week. Apparently he's from the Bay Area!!!! He sounds a lot like Mims + Bei Maejor. The production is ridiculous, mixing new school "Drake style" beats with old samples. "I'll Stay" is the best example of the combination of new and old school.
1. The Commitment
2. Kill Em All
3. To The Top
4. The Music
5. I'll Stay - Favorite Song!!!
6. Destiny
7. Let Go
8. Up To Me Now
Fabolous: Sicker Than Yo Average (feat. Red Cafe & Trey Songz)
Apparently this is Fab's new single. It's pretty short and the chorus isn't great. But Fabolous though... damn the dude can spit. As Fabolous would say: "Niiceeee"
http://hulkshare.com/1gbiul11zv9e
Curren$y: Verde Terace
Spitta hits us with his latest tape. I personally am not a fan of the "mixtape Curren$y", and I wasn't wild about his last album. But he definitely returned strong. Lyrically, he's gotten better. But his beat selection has gotten a little less to my liking. But back to the mixtape, I really felt "High Tunes" and "One for Da Wave." By far the best song on the tape was "Job." Damnn sounds like a Cardo beat. A VERY good Cardo beat. My faith is restored in Spitta.
01. Job - Favorite Song!!!
02. The Jet Business
03. Pinifarina
04. Hennessy Beach (feat. Dom Kennedy)
05. Car Talk
06. Smoke Sum’n
07. Run Dat Shit

Game: R.E.D. Album
Last post of the night. Game's long awaited album finally hits stores tonight! Overall I'd say it's pretty solid. Game tends to bite the style of those he features on his songs (which is fine) on this album. It's by no means a classic, but it's a fun album to listen to. You didn't let us down Game. As always, I'm only reviewing the tracks I liked.
1. Dr. Dre Intro
2. The City (feat. Kendrick Lamar) - DOPE beat courtesy of Cool N Dre. Kendrick's accapella verse at the end is crazy. And Game says some crazy shit (including calling himself the best westcoast rapper). Nice track.
3. Drug Test (Feat. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg & Sly)- I think this could have been a lot better. The beat is a little lackluster, but it's by no means a bad song.
4. Martians Vs. Goblins (feat. Tyler, The Creator & Lil Wayne) - What's not to like about this song? Crazy beat courtesy of 1500 Or Nothin and Mars, with all sorts of guitar riffs. NICE first verse from Game where he name drops Lil B. The hook is a little iffy. But Tyler's verse is ridiculous. I couldn't stop laughing when he poked fun at Game for name dropping too much. BY FAR my Favorite Track!!!
5. Red Nation (feat. Lil Wayne)
6. Dr. Dre 1
7. Good Girls Go Bad (feat. Drake) - Real old school joint. Just two emcees goin' over a simple, sample based beat. Drake's line about the Ninja Turtles was mad funny.
8. Ricky
9. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
10. Heavy Artillery (feat. Rick Ross & Beanie Sigel) - Ross's verse sounds like it's a few years old. Very nice StreetRunner beat. Game definitely goes in here.
11. Paramedics (feat. Young Jeezy) - Crazy Maestro beat here. Pretty much a Jeezy track with Game verses on it. Pretty nice!
12. Speakers On Blast (Feat. E-40 & Big Boi)
13. Hello (feat. Lloyd) - This one's a little sappy, but I really liked it. The beat is smooth as fuck and it goes perfectly with Lloyd's soft hook.
14. All The Way Gone (feat. Mario & Wale) - Mario + Wale is a total win for me. The beat is a little boring. But the features on this track are what makes it worth it.
15. Pot Of Gold (feat. Chris Brown) - Some people hated this single. But for me, it worked. Chris Browns hook sounded excellent over the acoustic guitar. And Game was really honest about his career. Honestly, the whole track sounded heartfelt.
16. Dr. Dre 2
17. All I Know (feat. Lu Breeze)
18. Born In The Trap - You already know how I feel about this track. Definitely his best lyrical gem on the album.
19. Mama Knows (feat. Nelly Furtado)
20. California Dreams
21. Dr. Dre Outro
22. Basic Bitch
The album isn't perfect. But it's got some nice songs. I think Game felt a lot of pressure after having his last three albums go platinum. It's a nice summer album and I think he did pretty well with all of the butchered promotion. Definitely worth coppin' this album. Nice beats, DOPE features, and solid lyrics.
Bei Maejor: They Call Me
I REALLY fucks with this one. His tape needs to hurry up and drop!!!

Clinton Sparks: Super Dupa Star (feat. Too $hort, E-40 & Mistah F.A.B.)
Although Sparks might be the biggest douche in music, he did get my favorite Bay Area artists together for this track. Props to him I guess..

Lil Twist: Over Again (feat. Khalil)
I'm not a huge fan, but there's no denying that this lil' dude is gonna blow up. He really needs to get outta this pop lane, because he has a lot of potential. Twist can definitely spit, but he's not showing it as of lately. Oh and shave the damn mohawk.

Dave East: Close To Fame
I don't know about close.. but it would be nice to see him get some buzz. That's quite a mean mug he's got in this picture.

The-Dream: Murderer
One of the few R&B artists I can expect to be continually good. This is off his "1997" mixtape. I'm not feeling the autotune, but the blends of his voice are awesome.
http://www.hulkshare.com/c5s2pxp6kz7t
Consequence: Movies On Demand III
Too bad he fucked up his chances with G.O.O.D.... because this tape lost all of its previous buzz. He needs to get his shit together and focus on rapping rather than dissing Kanye and Pusha T.

Posting this for the Ortiz feature. Anything Slaughterhouse goes (even though it showcases my least favorite member of the group).

Schoolboy Q: My Homie
WOW!! By far the most slept on member in Black Hippy. Smooth lyrics over some Alchemist production. What could be better?

Wale: Sugar Hill
The DMV rep goin' in over a legendary AZ instrumental. This is a lot better than the mixtape he just put out.

Mac Miller: Frick Park Market
He's definitely not my favorite, but here's Mac's new single. I guess he's improving a little bit.

The Weeknd: Thursday
Been waiting on this one. He's really made quite a career after that big Drake co-sign. After hearing "Rolling Stone", he jumped to the top of my R&B favorites (up there with Lloyd & Mario). The dude's range is crazy!

Smoke DZA: 4 Loco (feat. ASAP Rocky)
I just starting getting into ASAP Rocky so this perfect timing. Too bad he's just on the chorus. DZA's upcoming project is looking to be one of the best this year.

Marcus Manchild: A Million (feat. Travis Porter & Big K.R.I.T.)
I absolutely HATE Travis Porter. And I absolutely LOVE Big K.R.I.T. So this track is pretty conflicting ahaha.

Busta Rhymes: Tilt (feat. N.O.R.E., Spliff Star, Reek Da Villain & J-Doe)
Busta and a bunch of his cronies hit us with a new one. Not really feelin it...

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)
This dude's slept on as hell. I'm reallyyy feeling this one. Macklemore's got such sick delivery.

Mickey Factz: Nightrider (feat. Jade)
Haven't heard from Mickey in over half a year. He's usually pretty consistant. The only problem I have with this song is the chorus. Shit hurt my ears.

Wale: The Eleven One Elevon Theory
Well this dropped outta nowhere. A lot of these sounds like cuts that didn't make his upcoming second album. Definitely isn't as good as "More About Nothing." Nonetheless, the tape is dope as fuck. Enjoy Wale's first mixtape while on MMG! After a few listens I'd say this is a bit underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, Wale is one of my favorites and he's raw as fuck. But this tape sounded like a bunch of throwaway tracks.
1. "Theory" 11.1.1
2. Fuck You
3. Drums N Shit [Prod. by Deputy]
4. Chain Music
5. Lacefrontin'
6. Mother Nature (Slow Jammin) [Prod. by BuBu]
7. Barry Sanders [Prod. by DJ Toomp]
8. Bait
9. Passive Aggres-Her [Prod. by Sonny Digital]
10. Fairytales (feat. Lil Duval) [Prod. by Lil C]
11. Ocean Drive (feat. Magazeen, Black Cobain & Tre of UCB)

STS: Hello Sunshine (feat. Yelawolf)
WTF???? YELA CAN SING??? Damn if rapping doesn't work out for Yela, then he could pull together an indie singer career.

B.o.B.: High Life
Damn I haven't heard from this dude in a minute. He was one of my favorites last year, but this year he's been pretty good. Seems like he's still got it.

Mac Miller: Get It Again
He really gets the jazziest, old school beats out. He's definitely improving a bit.

Audio Push: Scratches
Damn this shit is smooth. And who doesn't love scratches on their back?

Mellowhype
One of the stronger emcees in Odd Future (along with Tyler, Domo Genius and Earl Sweatshirt) drops a new one with Left Brain on the beat. I didn't like their album that much, but this one goes!

Styles P: Harsh (feat. Busta Rhymes & Rick Ross)
Very typical Styles P track (which is a good thing). Busta is on a shitload of tracks lately.

Neako: Every City
Lex Luger has been falling off as of lately. Cuz the beat isn't as good as it should be. But Neako goes in, so that makes up for the underwhelming beat. Every City is supposed to appear on Neako's upcoming tape "The Number 23."
