Well Tha Carter IV is legally out now. I've had it for a week like alot of people. My verdict: major disappointment. Tha Carter IV just seems to be lacking something. I think its the hunger that was on the first 3 Carters. Lil' Wayne had something to prove on those albums. He was competing for the title "Best Rapper Alive". He wanted to prove a kid from the South could be considered the best rapper to everyone, their moms, and even the President. Lil' Wayne was a beast at one time and what this album proves is he is in a slump. Tha Carter IV does have decent songs tho. "Intro", "Nightmares from the Bottom", "Interlude"(Tech N9ne kills and so does 3 Stacks), "Its Good"(Weezy's diss at Jay-Z is actually pretty good) and "Outro"(Nas and Busta kill it) are good songs. But he is missing the hunger. None of these tracks are better than any song on any of the Carters. I am a Lil' Wayne fan but he's been tripping lately. He's not focused. He's erratic. He's inconsistent. (Which is weird because I thought he was sober. If so he needs to start smoking and sippin again). But he needs to get hungry again. His legacy could easily fall. Until he gets hungry and passionate I'm gonna chill and not listen. Rating 2.5/5
