As a New Orleans native, it's good to see another New Orleanian doing well. Personally, I prefer Tha Carter II but there's some nice bangers on this album.

No offense to anyone who like Lil' Wayne, because you certainly are entitled to, but I feel that Lil' Wayne is absolute garbage. How anyone could ever claim that he is one of the top MC's of all time is absolutely mind boggling to me.

PREACH!!!!

I'm not spending money on that garbage. I've already "got" it and listened to it through and its all over the place. He is not a good rapper. Period. Maybe one day skill will outsell hype again.

I'm glad there are other people out there that can see what I see. His lyrics are just plain not coherent, he doesn't rap even remotely close to on the beat, and his voice is straight up annoying.

After hearing this album, my first words were "dude should stick to mixtapes" this was a mediocre effort from a mediocre talent, but hey he's making money and I'm sure that's all that really matters to him and the 1.5 million people who are actually about to PAY for this booboo...1 hundo

Agreed, Lil Wayne is garbage this album was a waste of delay and time.

When he first came out he was decent but never great, now he's just overrated and boring!

The radio stations down here in Dallas, play his songs so damn much, I play only cd's now. I refuse to even listen to the stations anymore. He is garbage....

Unfortunately you guys fall into the "*****" category. I can see why, the hype and internet stanism is almost disgusting. But calling the dude garbage and saying you won't even listen to the CD or something to that effect is ignorant.

You just have to take it for what its worth. I don't see how you can deny he has been one of the better mainstream rappers since he dropped Tha Carter. I don't hate him and I don't love him, I just listen to each song/cd and judge it based on what it is. I think all three of the Carter albums are dope, the third being the worst of them though.

Like someone else said, he's a bit all over the place now, and needs to lose the vocoder for good. Some good stuff on there though that is certainly worth listening to.

Obviously he is not the best rapper alive and I can understand being sick of him, but that doesn't justify calling him garbage. He has too much good material under his belt.

I will stop short of calling him garbage I would rather listen to him then soulja boy, but his hay day was when Cash Money was all together in the late 90's

How is me saying that I don't like him ignorant?

He is not a good rapper and the fact that he is going to sell 1 mill units speaks to the poor tastes of the American public.

I could care less for the guy but just because you think he's garbage doesn't mean 1 million Americans have poor taste. How is your opinion any better?

it shows the sad state of the music industry when a guy who sings about abusing woman and drugs and has a voice that sounds like someone is strangling him while he's singing can sell so well...
