Christopher Nelloms  Tha Carter IV is probably one of the most anticipated albums released so far in 2011. Lil’ Wayne has taking much time off since his last release back in 2008. His award winning albumTha Carter III left such an impression on his fans it instantly built up a name for his next album before it was ever even announced. While some complications caused the album to be pushed back weeks, months, and even years, Lil’ Wayne came out swing and this album is a home-run.  Lil’ Wayne’s fourth iteration of Tha Carter series has not only filled the void all Lil’ Wayne’s fans have been waiting for it showsmultiple personalities[|[a]] that the artists has built the last couple of years. From his hard hitting tracks such as John and 6 Foot 7 Foot, to his slower yet lyrically creative tracks likeNightmares of The Bottom and So Special,Wayne continues to take his audience deeper into his world.  Wayne’s album includes multiple well known artists such as Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Drake, and Andre 3000. The inclusion of these artists help reassure the fact that this is his “I’m back” album. They basically get on the track display a different type of style on his album yet it complements the road Lil’ Wayne is trying to take. He isn’t about “dissing” other rappers he just wants to produce good music for his fans.  Lets get into the meat and potatoes. From top to bottom there is a song on this album that someone will like. The album starts out with a slower beat and basically Wayne is reintroducing him self in his first song. Bringing us to his new album cleverly telling us its been awhile but he hasn’t lost a step. This is a great intro to the album and a very warm welcome.  Skipping down to track three named “MegaMan” the beat speeds up and the creativity continues to show. This is one of the better song on the album, there isn’t really a chorus just Wayne rapping for about a minute and a half, then the music plays for a little while and he hops back onto the track and finishes it off nicely. Moving onto the first single released off the album, “6 Foot 7 Foot”. This track came out a week after Lil Wayne was released from jail last November. It was the start to the way to long wait for the actual album. Although the song, was well worth being the first single released. It’s a lyrical monster that attacks the mind and leaves you listening over and over again trying to pick through every line wondering how he comes up with some of the things he does. One who the lines from the song is “Try me and run into a wall outfielder.”  “She Will” is another great track off the album that features Lil’ Wayne’s right hand man Drake. This is another single that was released off the album to give his listeners a taste of what was brewer. It’s a slow paced song but one of the more interesting lines is “ Haters can’t see me, nosebleed seats, and today I shoppin and talk is still cheap.” Drake just sings the chorus in this particular song but all in all. It’s a good song off the album. The “Interlude” is placed right in the middle of the album. Lil’ Wayne actually isn’t even present on this track. It includes Tech N9ne and Andre’ 3000. They basically hype up the album and show off theirs skills. This shows the level Wayne is at and the people who are on his level. So this is a nice little addition to the album. Another track I want to single out is “So Special” it features the unique voice of John Legend. The song is good in the sense of it being about not loving your loved one, and how if they she stays you will make her feel so special. There are some nice metaphors and such used in this song. One of my favorite lines is, “I spent the night in heaven, I slept with an Angel.” The last song I’m actually going to talk about will be the actual last song on the album. Correctly labeled “Outro”. Wayne, weirdly, isn’t on the song. Its kind of like a dedication to him and his success. It includes big name artists such as Bun B, who helped Wayne when he first started rapping. Nas, who is an old school rapper that is very well known around the industry. Busta Rhymes finally appears here at the end to polish of the song beautifully. A line by Busta Rhymes goes a little like this, “ Most of you niggas sorry and owe apologies quick, what the fuck you niggas still hangin around here for you apostrophe bitch”. Tha Carter IV is collectively a great album. It can easily be played all the way through without skipping a song. It may not live up too some of the hype people put on it, but it still is a great album. Its got big name artists featured on it and Wayne is back with a vengeance. You will not be disappointed with this album at all.
