good choice of tracks but the problem with your rating is that not a single song on Barter 6 or Barter 6 itself come close to one of these tracks you listed

Some will absolutely despise him for it. Me? I think this solidifies his status as a young icon. C5 will solidify his cemented legacy in the Rap Game and to Hip-Hop Culture....as an undisputed living legend. I believe that.
And if there's going to be a Final Dedication (I'd prefer one last Drought though), it's about to smash the game on a whole new level. My point is....he's trying. And his efforts finally feel cohesive. Miraculously enough, that's probably for the first time in his life and in his burgeoning career where it felt venerable. So what if it's not "Carter 2" Weezy.
That was never what I wanted. A true artist doesn't recycle old material or rehash former phases in their life to serve as a consolation or redeeming quality for the pacifying of the casual listener's perspective. If you're a real fan, you just wanted to see him "Grow Up", so to speak. Dwayne Michael Carter has proven, time and time again, that he is an intelligent entity and hot commodity in the mainstream music scene who just began to rest on his laurels once he hit the ripe age of 30. Still in his Early 30's, there's a good chance that Wayne will drop a record as hot as Jay did at the very same age and in the same vein as "The Black Album". Hell, this might be that equivalent for Holly Grove's Sergeant General.
you touch on something here, that i think is going to be important for wayne going forward, and its that veneration. I dont think his claim to be relevant during these times is as a "hot" artist.
he's got to be reclassed and branded as a master artist at work. The way people attach the high art pop significance to kanyes work is whats got to happen for wayne to really start getting his due.
right now, that feeling is on the fringe. its going to be curious to see how this album changes that.. if it does, we already have people throwing out bullshit first impression reviews trying to downplay his work..
but i think moving forward, waynes pretty much gotta turn himself into a luxury brand, represent the elite. tidal could be a start of that.. that video of him performing he's dead.. has that sort of appeal.
going to be really interesting how this plays out for wayne going forward...

I feel like we're not listening to the same Weezy anymore...
like, Weezy was around from 99-09, then Auto-Tunechi took over in 10-13, slowly Weezy came back in 14, and now we're listening to the new Free Weezy. new stage in his career
