I'll start with the minuses. I can't listen through the Drake guest track. I pick through the R Ross guest track to listen to Wayne. Other than the Jada, the Tech N9ne, Cory Gunz and Outro power pack, the guest spots are terrible. The track with John Legend could have been a burner, but the fire gets doused with baby formula mixed with corn syrup and Irish Cream. Not that it's his disposition, but Legend's shit just sounds sour to me. Don't know how else to say it.
The rest hits the spot again and again. It's comfortable and surprising at the same time. A lot of good shit keeps turning that corner. I think Lil Wayne is a great lyricist - immaculate, tight as fuck syntax/arrangement.
I don't follow this shit, I just know everybody is rich. Is Lil Wayne sporting like Kanye and Jay-Z? I mean he must stack up about the same? If not neck-to-neck, in the same column? All to say different folks wear money differently. Fun vs hungry. Life or things. I like what Wayne is chasing.

Nahmsayin son.
From www.celebritynetworth.com
Kanye West net worth = 70 million
Lil Wayne net worth = 85 million
Jay-z net worth = 450 million
Oprah Winfrey net worth = 2.7 billion
Steve Jobs net worth = 8.3 billion
Bill Gates net worth = 56 billion
That site is fun.
Yes, the comfortable part. But he's got some gems that keep me from being bored of it. The beats help A LOT.
These folks are like the worst of the worst to me lol - I don't mean to beat it to death, but how terrible Ross, Drake and Legend are still hasn't ceased to amaze me.
get rid of How to Love, How to Hate and Abortion and this album would be greatly improved.
Yea
have you heard all of Rawse's oeuvre to me he freshens up a lot of stale songs
for example here he saves the day (and the good beat) not stellar but solid
weezy's verse here is on some birdman level of song ruining (remember baby's freeway feature)
wayne spaztick schtick has turned into horrible bars one clever line per 3 verse song
that's not a good batting average
b/w is that T.O? in the video...the 4loko and cheap wine sponsorship khaled forces in are hilarious
birdman is close to the jiggaman @400mil
lmho - I feel like he ruins most songs he's on.
No, I can't say I've heard everything he's done. No doubt he has some less than terrible shit. I don't hear the appeal. His voice, his flow, his writing...man doesn't bring too much to the table imo.
I am not saying Weezy is batting perfect. I am saying I think what is good on this tape is amazing.
"Aubs" - perfect!
i've considerably lowered my standards to hail ross as refreshing and he has been everywhere so you definitely need to separate the wheat from the chaff
imo i thought rozay's stock was rising (solid albums) and wayne's was falling (YMCM&new; video) but I guess i'll pay closer attention to this tape (the interlude is my fav so far) also it's clearly a matter of opinion since to me ross's voice is his greatest asset. however i agree about the writing
I wish sandman could make a comeback and rhyme over all of ross's beats
wow. how is that possible?
I am dying!
"If you gay n you wanna say some homogetical shit like that its cool"
"Cant believe I had to listen to almost 1:40 min of T-Pain doin that wack shit he does (you kno???where he opens his mouth n sounds come out)"
no. I mean, Drake and John Legend are on this album. two dudes I go to great lengths to avoid listening to. that's enough for me to pass on it. I guess I could skip those tracks, but what the fuck are they doing on this tape to begin with then?
It's not--it's probably a self-reported figure.
And LOL @ Wayne supposedly having a net worth of $70 million--that's just as ludicrous. I'd be shocked if he was worth a tenth of that.

You doubt the black gold geyser of riches otherwise knowed as Bronald Oil & Gas, LLC?

Didn't a little investigative reporting establish that no such company even exists?
I ASSURE YOU THAT JAY'S BUSINESS VENTURES SUCH AS CAROL'S DAUGHTER COSMETICS AND FELA (THE MUSICAL) ARE VERY REAL, SON
It doesn't, Variety's regurgitation of Baby's baby mama-penned press releases notwithstanding
OK - just saw this now. Personally, I think the whole song is ass and ain't nothing anyone can do to really save it. I guess everyone in that room for Drake's opening verse had to think about the saddest thing they could muster up so to not laugh at Aubs showing the fam his raps.
