When you listen to Lil Wayne do you ever have this long period in the middle of his songs where you just look up at the sky and go "Why?". "Is this man just a figment of my imagination? Is this a test lord? I'm not actually sure if I'm conscious right now but this is the worst possible form of mental torture in the history of torture techniques." That sometimes happens to me. So since this isn't really a rap album I can't review it as one. I now have to look at Lil Wayne as a rockstar and not a rapper. I wont hit you with the countless Lil Wayne insults you see on Youtube about Lil Wayne killing hip hop or whatever. Not even gonna waste my time but I'm still just wondering, "WHAT THE FUCK?" This album is enough to put you into a cohma and then you'll snap out of it but it'll leave you retarded and you wont be able to shake it from your memory. The first time I heard it, I contemplated killing someone. I think I slowly gained an immunity as I gave it more listens but I may still be in shock from the sheer craziness of this album. Craziness as in are you fucking serious? Did a human being actually make this? It was in this moment that I felt like I was in The Matrix and was not sure if I or Lil Wayne existed and this was all just some sick joke. I was having a mental breakdown while Lil Wayne pretended to play the guitar. Yet I feel like I'm stronger now after all of this. There needs to be a warning sticker that tells you not to listen to it if you aren't retarded because I swear to god this album was forcing me to have back spasms. It was like the room was spinning and the world was beating me over the head with simple lyrics and guitar riffs. Yet I digress and will give you a fair review of this album. Enjoy!
So in all honesty I think I sort of like the first 2 songs on the album. The songs American Star and Prom Queen both feature Young Money Artist, "Shanell" and I actually found to be semi enjoyable. With American Star you can feel a sort of Bob Seger or Bruce Springsteen influence. It's actually not that bad of a song. I could do withoutthis song and every song being drenched in autotune and Lil Waynes voice in general but what can I expect. So "American Star" isn't actually that bad and was pretty well written and I didn't feel the need to turn it off. "Prom Queen" is acceptable as far as the upcoming disasters and poor excuses for music go. It's catchy if nothing else. I sort of like Shanell's voice. So everything started off not so bad right? Can't be to picky with Lil Wayne, especially with how experimental this whole thing is. So onto the song "Ground Zero". How exactly do I describe the listening experience to this song? Well it's a lot like being stabbed in the ears with scissors....again.....again....and again. As a matter of fact to speed this up, the next song "Da Da Da" is on the exact same level of awful. Then we got to another not so bad song called "Paradice". I honestly didn't mind this song so much, I mean Lil Wayne sounds like a dying cat when he sings but it wasn't an awful song. once again, not awful for Lil Wayne or Rap/Rock standards. So 3 out of 5 tracks aren't all that bad. Looking good right? Nope because that my friends is when this goes from pretty bad album to an unbelievable raping of the human soul. The song called Get A Life is just so fucking STUPID!!!! The simplest and most kindergarten song I've ever heard. It's like I was listening to "The Wiggles" or Culture Club. Then there's that song "On Fire" that samples and takes it's rhythm from Amy Holland's very own "She's On Fire". You've heard it if you've seen Scarface. I don't know why but I was actually offended by this song.
Moving on now we run into the song "Drop The World" featuring the ever more increasingly gay Eminem. Actually featuring yourself on this album makes you a bitch but this whole song is meant to be a sort of "Fuck the world" style song but instead you're just like, "oh Fuck me god dammit I can't handle it anymore". If you're wondering about how good Eminems verse was. I wouldn't know because I was to busy covering my ears. Seriously though his verse was weak as hell. Runnin was a meh track. it seems like really the only songs I could stomach were the ones featuring Shanell. That's probably because a good female voice was refreshing compared to Weezy's awfulness. One Way Trip & Knockout are both equally terrible tracks that sound like Blink 182 ripoffs. Wait no, I apologize Blink 182, you guys aren't this bad. Oh but this review is not over. ONE MORE SONG and forget what I said about all the other songs. The final song called "The Price Is Wrong" is worse than all of those songs combined. I really don't see how someone could be as garbage as Lil Wayne. Excuse me I have to go throw up.
At the end of the day this album is so terrible it needs to be studied by scientists. I meant what i said about certain song sbeing listenable but I think they were just okay in comparison to the other more dangerously terrible tracks. If you like this album, you're a Lil Wayne dickrider and you're probably white. This album is awful and I expect nothing but that from Lil Wayne. Just fucking terrible. All of Lil Wayne supposed street cred jumped out the window with this album not that I thought he was gangster anyways but now I'm questioning his sexuality even more than I did when he kissed another man on the lips and called him daddy. this album gets a huge 1 Out Of 5 and may God have mercy on you Lil Wayne.
