Still, Lil Wayne proves to be a beast on the mic. Let’s be honest, who’s checking for a Lil Wayne love song like “Thinking About You” besides, maybe, Christina Milian? Especially when he sing-raps hot garbage lines like, “Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay/Can’t trust these dog a** hoes today.” Sound familiar, doesn’t it? The project suffers from tired concepts. “I push his a** in the wishin’ well, then wish him well,” he raps. On the disturbing “Psycho,” Weezy spits, “I thought I was whippin till that pu**y whipped me/I fell asleep in it like Whitney.” References from Tha Carter IV are subtly littered throughout the album, like on “Glory,” the first single that was released exclusively by TIDAL.

One would think after the Emmett Till fiasco, he would be more careful with how he uses late legends in similes. Many of Wayne’s bars have devolved into a syrupy, random, uninspired mess that can range from uncreative to inept.
