Good artist come around every few years, but Goat status artist are once in a generation and even they have an expiration date. Wayne has shown that he is the exception to that rule after listening to Carter 5.
This is the album we needed not because it’s the first Wayne album in years, not because of the legal battle over the album, but because it’s the album that bridges old heads and new heads together. Wayne does an amazing job of giving everybody what they want from lyrics, flow, beats,and features which include the late XXXTentacion, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Sosamann, Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Ashanti, and his very own daughter Reginae Carter. The album is laced with 23 tracks but you don’t realize it’s that long because the vet knows how to make the album flow. The Carter 5 is pleasing to ears of every age.
Old heads if you looking for bars and story telling at its finest listen to tracks ” Cant Be Broken“, “Mona Lisa“( which has two goats going back and forth), “Open Letter” and “Dope N****z” and that’s not even the half for you old heads. Now the new age hip-hop heads he got tracks for you guys too. X fans can bump ” Dont Cry” if they wanna hear some good harmonize. La flame fans can bump to “Let It Fly“, Barb’s can listen to ” Dark Side Of The Moon” that gives you singing Nicki and Wayne. Even his daughter held her own on her track “Famous” flexing her vocal skills. Swizz Beats even comes through to get my New York people shoulders moving with the ” Uproar” track. Wayne did exactly what he was supposed to do, show us why he is the goat and should always be respected and never questioned.
In all this definitely has to in contention for album of the year. You get old Wayne and new Wayne battling it out with some new school flows and people. Wayne is a top 10 rapper of all time and that’s no cap. Not many rappers can go through what he’s been through, take a hiatus like he did and still deliver the project he did. Wayne has single-handedly connected old and new school hip-hop without destroying his integrity. Please raise your lighter and flick them one time for Mr. Carter and Carter 5.
