Even on “Without You,” featuring Rihanna’s “BBHMM” songwriter, Bibi Bourelly, could be interpreted as either a #message to his ex or Birdman. “My Heart Races On” serves as the final sendoff, soundtracked by a traditional New Orleans brass band with rising singer Jake Troth on the folk-y hook. Replaced with fiery rage, though, is a somber track that really kicks off a musical funeral service to his Cash Money days as he repeats, “Rest in peace to the Cash Money Weezy, gone but not forgotten.” As previously shown on other songs like “Mirror,” “Tie My Hands,” and “Shoot Me Down,” Wayne lets us into his warped, troubled mind on occasion. The Kane Beats and Vinay-produced “He’s Dead” picks up where “CoCo” from Sorry for the Wait 2 left off in driving home the point that he is declaring his independence from Birdman and Cash Money Records. “Glory,” while flawed, shows Wayne in top form, showcasing his sharp rhyme game: “Sippin’ syrup like ginger ale, but I’m the quickest snail/From here to hell, I hear them hail, I give them hell/I’m spittin’ hail, I’m Clinton, well, I did inhale/These niggas frail, they Chip and Dale.” With the posse cut “Murda” featuring Capo, Cory Gunz, and Junior Reid, the legendary reggae artist sets the tone with the hook as Weezy spits, “AK bullets move mountains/Break them bitches down to pebbles/That tough talk is like music to my ears so keep it acapella/Based on a true story we not worry you too worried/I faced my fears and told them motherfuckers y’all too gorgeous.” Flashbacks appear from happier times of Wayne a la “A Milli” and “6 Foot, 7 Foot.” Wayne proves that even on his worst day, he still means trouble for some of your favorite rappers.įWA‘s other saving grace is the level of depth he goes into his personal life. 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.
