The moment has finally arrived. Lil Wayne’s highly anticipated album, Tha Carter V, was unleashed into the world on Thursday night (September 27).
The long-awaited release put a cherry on top of Weezy’s 36th birthday and ended a tumultuous chapter in Weezy’s story.
With guest vocals from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Sossaman, Ashanti, Mack Maine, Nivea, Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and the late XXXTENTACION, the 23-track album — understandably — lit Twitter on fire.
Post Malone, who was reportedly added to the project last minute, was noticeably absent.
Some are calling for Tha Carter V‘s release date to be a national holiday while others simply can’t believe it’s here.
Check out the initial reactions to the album below. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
It’s better than what I thought it was going to be. That Swiss beat sing was fuckin trash though. Possibly the worst lil waste sing ice ever heard in my life. But overall pretty decent.
Sorry for all the typos
Yeah, learn how to fucking spell lol
Chill with the overreacting shit. That song was cool not terrible or what the kids say “trash”. Better than what any other “Lil” rapper would drop fasho
Agreed….i wanted it to be good…expected it to be trash….overall i’m pleasently suprised….a Lot of fire tracks on the album…
But that Swiss joint though….Wack.
lol that cover looks like joke.
It does
It really does
YSIV vs Carter 5?
YSIV is WAY better than this. It only has a couple of not-as-good songs, but as a whole… YSIV is one hell of an album!
This album has 3-4 really good tracks. Nowadays that puts you in “album of the year” contention. He is all of these dude’s dad, he made the whole face tat, skinny jean, pill/syrup Lambo shit. Funny thing is, even though I was never a big fan of Weezy’s, he never seemed lame to me doing that shit. All these clones do. Somehow this album seems necessary. Open Safe, Dedicate, Used 2 and Mona Lisa are all bangers IMO. I’m surprised there’s no track with Eminem or Game on here…
I agree- Wayne is the OG to these kids in the mumble rap/trap game and he just schooled them all. This album is both “lit” and lyrical. Probably one of the best albums Wayne couldve dropped with Hiphop in it’s current state.
Way too much filler Songs on this. I give it a meh out of 5
That Dedicate track is lit
Classic
Better then Kamikaze
Better ‘then’? It’s THAN, when you’re comparing things. Your opinion is invalid.
Lmfao
Nah not quite.
said no one ever.
half songs on carter album are garbage. On kamikaze i didn’t press skip once.
Im not big on Wayne but if this was condensed to about 13 tracks it wojld be decent…i think he went crazy with the features after finally getting a release date
Im not even a Weezy fan (hes great, just not my thing) but there are some incredible moments in this album.
Especially given the wait, we needed something this epic. Even if there is some filler, it is 23 tracks totaling to 1.5 hrs! Not to mention the Kendrick track is crazy.
Never heard someone go blow for blow with Kendrick like that
nice features. overall that album was weak.
Weak is an understatment.
It’s not great. Rather hear The Talented Mr Trotter if someone’s gonna make me wait this long
Living legend!! #GOAT
Wayne has literally stayed out of the light long enough to let rap get as bad as it’s been – he comes out swinging like it’s mid 2000’s and it’s so refreshing to hear an MC go in like this Wayne is a lean head and he is still vicious on the mic what are these other rappers excuses for real
Wayne snapping all over this goddamn album! Good to hear him again.
Im almost embarrassed to say that i liked quite a few tracks, especially Cant be broken and Mona Lisa with kendrick
This shit was wack lets be honest. If Eminem would’ve released this garbage y’all be criticising this wack album. The only dope track in here was ft Kendrick Lamar
Dedicate is ? ? ?? ?.
The Mona Lisa joint wit Kendrick is easily one the dopest songs to come outta da last 10 years in hip hop… just sayin..
Mumbling to a fast beat ISNT RAP!! People so use to the trash being put out today, that when real fire is dropped it’s wack. Pssh Lil Wayne took us back to the real!!! We needed that! Best rapper alive!!
Absolute trash !!! Lil Wayne is a mumble rapper , awful “rapper” and awful album. You wana talk about great hop hop albums released this year then do your work and look for the real shit rather than this played out mumble jumble trap comercial mindless auto tune garbage pushed by media outlets as real hip hop when its not , it sounds like a Drake album on rocks.
Horrible album , one of his worst to date and thats saying something as most of his stuff is hot garbage, auto tune nonsense that makes no sense with played out trap beats and nonsense lyrics. If your boyfreind likes this album dumo his ass. I cant beleive people still think this clown is talented or amongst the goats. I can name 10 albums off the top of my head alone without researching that are way better than this boring lAME played out trash, fyck wayne hes past it and when he had it he was never that good to begin with.
I can name 10 albums off the top of my head alone without researching that are better than this that DROPPED this year and get next to nothing coverage because the media pushes bullshit like this
The album is weird because most of the songs are dated. The K.Dot record was hinted at by Lamar 4 years ago on Power 106, and you can hear his old style on it. I think it needs further updating, and operates in a weird space. It’s like a time capsule.
Never been a fan of Wayne like that, but coming from Drogas Waves this album is wack as hell! Wayne needs to throw in the towel
This ugly AG Gremlin looking wack POS IS the reason we have shitty rappers with shitty tats and this album is stinky Minaj ass cheeks, why waste your precious time and energy when so much other quality Hip Hop was released on the same day as this stinkinh
He‘s not even the best mumble rapper alive. This is by far the most disappointing album of the Carter series.
