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.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
