Track by Track Review: Lil Wayne- Tha Carter IV: Deluxe Edition


Intro: This song has a hot beat, It seems Wayne wanted to structure this album like Carter II….with 3 tracks with the same beat.

8/10



Blunt Blowin: A really addictive song. I love the chorus and the beat is pretty good. “You don’t need a bus pass for me to bust yo a** n****”!

9/10



Megaman: A fast paced song. Megaman is an interesting title. Perhaps Wayne feels the beat is like some of the music in the video game….I don’t really agree.

8.5/10



6 Foot 7 Foot: The successor to AMilli. This song is almost as good as that song. Wayne goes hard on every punchline. Young Gunz’s verse is tight but it’s so fast you almost can’t understand what he’s saying. Overall it’s a dope track.

9.5/10



Nigtmares of the Bottom: This is an interesting style for Weezy. This is a slow song dominated by Piano. The song doesn’t really have a chorus but its decent.

8/10



She Will: This song is catchy but ultimately nothing new from either Lil Wayne or Drake. It’s about a gurl putting it on a real n**ga lol. I like the beat….and the chorus is good also.

7.5/10



How to Hate: Wayne is joined by T-Pain(Which seems like the millionth time) and the result is a song that is pretty good. This is an interesting song about a girl that Wayne is pissed at.

8/10



Interlude: A real dope song that doesn’t have Wayne on it. Tech N9ne goes first and spits a mean verse. He’s followed by Andre 3000 who also kills it. This song has the same beat as the interlude.

9/10



John: This is a hot song but it borrows lyrics from a song on Rick Ross’s Teflon Don album. I guess its only right that this song has Ross on it. Ross goes hard, outshining Weezy a little bit.

9/10



Abortion: This song is pretty good but Wayne seems to be everywhere on it. He continues to flow with a metaphor on almost every line. The chorus isn’t really that good either.

6.5/10



So Special: My favorite thing about this song is the chorus. John Legend kills it. Wayne seems a bit more focused on this one lyrically.

7.5/10



How To Love: An ode to a woman that “Could never figure out how to love”. Wayne straight sings on this song which isn’t like him. The song is decent despite it being so simple.

8/10



President Carter: When I first saw this title I remember thinking “oh yea we did have a President Carter” This song has an eerie beat, and a somewhat annoying chorus, but strong verses from Wayne. Its one of the only songs that seems to have a message on this album

9/10



Its Good: Wayne is joined by Jadakiss and Drake on this banger. The beat has a “this should be the last song on the album feel to it”. The song has no chorus, but it doesn’t really need it. Drake’s raps really well here,  and then he sets up Wayne, “Then November came and they let my n***er out”. Wayne goes pretty hard here, while taking a shot at Jay-z.

9.5/10



Outro: It’s odd that Wayne would not appear on the last song on his own album. Bun B starts it off on the same beat that was on the Intro and Interlude. Nas is up next, and he kills it. Then Shyne goes up next(where the heck has he been)….then the song is ended with a great verse from Busta Rhymes.

9.5/10



I Like the View: The first bonus track is pretty good. I really like the beat, as it seems pretty cohesive with the rest of the album.

8.5/10



Mirror: Wayne is joined by Bruno Mars here. This is a good song, and Wayne raps introspectively for once.

9/10



Two Shots: The beat is cool, but this song doesn’t really help the album out much. Wayne should have ended his album with something else.

6/10


This is not an easy album to review...theres average songs, good songs, and few great ones..so I'm gonna give this one 3.5/5 stars. It'll pass but its not as good as Carter II and III.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
