Lil Wayne - Sorry 4 The Wait (YMCMB, 2011)
Noz pretty much covered the general ideas and problems with this mixtape by listening to one song. Like No Ceilings was, this is cookie-cutter Wayne; Wayne doing his best impression of himself, or at least what he once was. I wish I could say this release is depressing, but I think the majority of us gave up on the young Carter (the old one too) sometime in 2008. Wayne sounds about as bored rapping as I do listening to him, but the Young Money fanbase’ll eat this shit up with no complaints. And that’s who this mixtape is made for; those naive, overly loyal kids who still think Wayne is the shit just because defecation is his favorite subject.
As I keep telling people who ask me when the Carter IV is dropping, or what I think about Wayne - I don’t really care anymore. We don’t really need Wayne anymore. His influence lives on in every active rapper but himself.
