Official Carter IV Review Thread....

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

You really can't compare them. Wayne is on another level. Comparing Waka and Gucci is acceptable, because they talk about the same shit, shit.

This is Wayne, right now, at his best. The old Wayne is gone, people need to realize this. There is no more Mixtape Weezy, no more Lil Weezyana. It's Tunechi, take it or leave it. It started in 2009, and who knows how long he'll stay.

Yeah, Mixtape weezy was the best. That Carter 2/pre c3 wayne was such a beast. I guess he just soft kinda like em after the drugs.

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

Some people are gonna like it, some people aren't. Same with every album. BUT, it takes at least 2 listens to really digest an 18 song album, so if you're basing your "review" off only one listen I'd recommend listening again.

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

I thought it was good. I was expecting new Wayne, I got it and I'm happy. That being said, ... and I'm not a big fan of Kanye or the (new) Jay..but IMO Watch the Throne is the best produced and best musically rap album of the year. C4 was hella good though. Some great songs on that. Not going to compare it to anything, it's great for what it is.

lol old em over all. wayne didn't fall off anywhere near as big as em did. that being said, both can still show their old side at any given time. they just chose not to.

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

MegaMan and Blunt Blowin are dope... so much face palm worthy punchlines... "have it your way, burger king" ?? it went something like that... just wow. Flow is good tho on some songs. NOTB live >>> CDQ. Flow was lazy as hell on the CDQ. Still listening... I'm going to have to play it for a while to actually rate it and review the whole.

It's that "Gossip" effect. I bet if we didn't hear both songs until the CDQ then will would've said it was dope lol but Wayne's live performances always outshines his CDQ tracks anyways imo

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

Intro - Love the beat! Wayne went in at a few points, but was normal at other times. Pretty strong throughout though. Flow was smooth too.
Blunt Blowin' - Another win on the production side... This song gives me the "Bill Gates" feel though. Wasn't feeling the 3rd verse, eh. Song is sick though. "Life is a choice, and death is a decision."
Megaman - Some corny punchlines. But Weezy was tough on this. Not much else to say.
6'7' - Whack attempt at a true hip hop, punchline, mainstream song.
Nightmares Of The Bottom - Not feeling the singing, slow rapping type flow he's doing on this. He did it some on Blunt Blowin' too.... Some good lyrics on this. Like the no hook on this, the little interludes were cool. 3rd verse was the one we've been waiting on, and it's the best.
She Will - Not digging Wayne much on this. Pretty crazy beat, perfect hook. Just wasn't feeling Wayne's approach on this...
How To Hate - Sounds way too much like a T-Pain song and that's not a good thing. T-Pain on the start of the song almost made me skip this... Wayne actually had pretty cool verses too... T-Pain ruined it.
Interlude - Omg.... Tech & 3k. I actually like how Wayne didn't hop on it. Just got two amazing artists to go off on his album ha. Tech's flow is so nuts on this. I had no clue 3k was gunna be on this. So glad he is. Epic...
John - Still my favorite single probably... Still enjoy this song every now and then..
Abortion - Know Your Name.... ha. Kinda like this song. Except the singing at the start and on the hook.
So Special - DOPE beat.... John Legend was perfect for it too. I don't feel like Wayne delivered though.. This would've been way better with Big Sean on it 100%.
How To Love - Song has grown on me a bit. Still eh though.
President Carter - DAMN! God damn. My favorite song off the album probably! That sample too ha! Weezy biting Earl though.
It's Good - Jada went in.... Drake went the fuck in though, best verses hands down. Wayne's diss was nice, a dumb move though. "I just throw the alley oop, to Drake Griffin!"
Outro - Bun B always comes through for Wayne and Drake... Nas! Ahhh god damn! You can't do that to them Nas, omg! Shyne.... what the fuck gtfo. Busta always through for Wayne too... Take out Shyne and this is perfect..
I Like The View - Pretty weak song until he switches it up half way through... Weak hook too..
Mirror - Dopeee beat imo. Wayne's slow flow gets sooooo boring though, fuck. He needs to stop that shit... Wasn't really feeling Bruno on this either. I feel like this song could've been executed WAY better..
Two Shots - Really feeeling this for some reason ha. Just something about it.


Overall, not his best effort at all. Not his best album. Not a classic. But it definitely exceeded my expectations. Let's me know Wanye does still have it somewhat. But he just isn't executing in some parts. This album could be so much better if he thought some song idea's a bit better. Stop that slow flow Wayne, it gets boring. 7/10.

Agree with the T-pain thing... Kinda messed How To Hate up for me.

Re: Official Carter IV Review Thread....

Short review

1. Intro - It was cool, would've been better if he sped up his flow but it's aight, punchlines/beat save the song.
2. Blunt Blowin - One of my favs on the album. Like people have said before it sounds like "Bill Gates" but way better. Flow, hook, and lyrics were on point
3. Megaman - Another dope joint. Wayne goes Drought 3/NC style and murks the beat.
4. 6 Foot 7 Foot - Heard it so many times I just skip it. Just an 'ok' song now.
5. Nightmares Of The Bottom - Different flow from the live version but I still fuck with it. The last verse was crazy
6. She Will - Average Drake and Wayne song. I still play it from time to time though.
7. How To Hate - I actually like this song even though T-Pain Autotunes through the whole song. Wayne's verses were nice
8. Interlude - Nuts! 3K and Tech murk the hell out the beat. Nuff said.
9. John - I still bump this shit, fuck the haters!
10. Abortion - The beginning scared me lol but it's a good song even though the hook was recycled. Good song
11. So Special - John murks the hook, Tune murks the verses, and I love the beat. Dope song
12. How To Love - I still think this is a very good song for Wayne. Shows his range imo
13. President Carter - Very dope! Might be the best song on the album. The hook was slightly annoying, verses made up for it though
14. It's Good - Everyone kills it plus Wayne throws a shot at the throne
15. Outro - Nas killed it, Bun murked it, Busta destroyed it, and Shyne...............*skips to bonus tracks*

*Bonus*

16. I Like The View - Dope song. Lyrics, flow and beat were on point
17. Mirror - Best Wayne song in years. Grammy winning type shit. Nuff said
18. Two Shots - 'Tha Carter' type shit, just dope.

Overall - 8.5/8.6
