![]() Like “Open Letter,” Famous is a slow introspective track, but this track features a hook from Wayne’s daughter, Reginae Carter, making it that much more special. Worst: “And some people say I changed but they can’t hear me jingle” Reginae Carter) īest quotable: “Can’t talk to myself ’cause mama said don’t talk to strangers” ![]() While this is one of the most personal tracks on the album, the instrumental grows stale quickly, holding the track back from reaching its full potential.ĩ. Wayne shares some of his most personal thoughts about death while still managing to craft electric flows with plenty of wordplay. You can hear the pain in Wayne’s voice as he pours his soul onto the eerie instrumental. Worst Quotable: “Just got off the phone with my son, told him ‘you’re a son of a gun’” Open Letter īest quotable: “And sometimes I fear who in the mirror, that n**** weird/ He done died so many times but still here/ Why am I here?” Used 2 īest quotable: None are appropriate enough for this website.ġ0. Is there a better flex than claiming God himself took his time when creating you?ġ1. Took His Time īest quotable: “Momma said God took his time when he made me” This could’ve easily been a song that comes off as forced and corny but this track somehow avoids that.ġ2. Wayne and Nicki sing about “intergalactic love” with plenty of astronomy references. I wasn’t expecting to see Wayne show his soft side on “Tha Carter V,” but this track ended up being a pleasant surprise. Nicki Minaj) īest quotable: “Planet of the aches, and she is my prescription/ We out of this world, baby, we have been evicted” This track is getting played anytime I tell someone to keep the change.ġ3. Worst quotable: “I capitalize off my own mistakes, you lowercase, n****” Nivea sounds great on the hook, setting a triumphant tone to the whole track.ġ4. This song is begging for a Chance the Rapper feature with the beat sounding like the outro of a Tyler Perry movie. ![]() Nivea) īest quotable: “When I think I’m bad like Michael/ He bring me back down to Tito” Lil Wayne spazzes out on his verse, but I still can’t decide if rhyming the word “line” over 15 times in consecutive lines is clever or just doing the most.ġ5. Scott’s feature on “Let It Fly” doesn’t feature his signature crooning or ear candy audio engineering, instead, it just features an underwritten hook and unnecessary verse. This trend of every album having a Travis Scott or Migos member feature is starting to grow stale. Travis Scott) īest quotable: “Take the T off Tunechi and look at it as the crucifix, b***h” While the hook is undeniably catchy, Wayne’s speedy flow doesn’t really match up with the beat.ġ6. Me: *Patiently waits on a surprise Future verse*īest quotable: “Found a halo in her trash but she don’t talk about her past”īoth Wayne and the soulful instrumental both sound amazing on this track but they don’t really complement each other well. The most memorable part of the track is the clip used at the beginning and the least memorable part is the hook. Worst quotable: “I’m a** with that semi, call me semicolon” There are plenty of songs about redemption on this album, and this feels like one too many.īest quotable: “Money in the air, who said white men can’t jump?” This song reminds me of something off of Eminem’s “Recovery” or “Revival.” While it rings of redemption, the song seems to take itself a little too seriously with its somber piano keys on the instrumental. Can’t Be Broken īest quotable: “I got a lawyer that turn any case into a pillow case” Wayne doesn’t sound bad on this track, it just sounds underwhelming compared to a lot of other tracks.Ģ0. Perfect Strangers Ī song about a broken relationship. Time for me to go get my 3XL Shaq jersey and loose-fit jeans out the closet.Ģ1. Ashanti’s substanceless hook sounds like it was pulled straight out of the early 2000s. This song sounds like something that “I’ma need someone to throw a 90s-themed barbecue this summer” Twitter plays when they get handed the aux at a party. Let’s start this list off right with what sounds like the most outdated track on the album. Worst quotable: “She said, ‘I will,’ like ill with an apostrophe” Here is my ranking of the album’s 23 tracks (excluding the intro “I Love You Dwayne,” which is a voicemail from Wayne’s mother).Ģ2. With a length like that, it’s hard to make every song feel meaningful, but it provides plenty of songs for the playlist vultures to pick at. Like plenty of other projects released this year, “Tha Carter V” sports a hefty tracklist, clocking in with a 90-minute runtime. With the fifth installment in “Tha Carter” series having the third biggest week for an album in 2018, it’s safe to say Wayne’s commercial comeback has been a success thus far. After years of being held captive by Birdman and Cash Money records, Lil Wayne was finally able to set “Tha Carter V” free to the world.
