DJ Booth album review: [ Ссылка ]

Compared to ‘Tha Carter V,’ Lil Wayne’s ‘Funeral’ is exhilarating. As Yoh writes in his 1 LISTEN album review, Weezy isn’t ready to be buried just yet.

Lil Wayne demands little introduction. The golden child of New Orleans has influenced an entire generation of rappers. With decades of experience under his belt, the promise of a new Lil Wayne album is less so exciting and more so intriguing.

What will the maestro do next? How will he wow us? Will he wow us at all? These are the questions running through my mind as I load up Funeral, Wayne’s thirteenth studio album.

Unsure of what to expect, one thing is for sure: With Lil Wayne, expectations mean nothing. Let’s get into the album.

In usual 1-Listen fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. Godspeed.

1. “Funeral”

The sounds of strings and a lighter flicker. “Welcome to the funeral / Closed casket as usual.” Wayne is singing in a quiet tone that is growing louder. He isn’t sad, but the sound is meant to be melancholy. So much passion in his voice. “Gotta die to see who you know.” Here are the drums. Wayne sounds like he’s getting back into a form reminiscent of his best-self. He’s feeling it. The explosiveness in his flow is a rocket leaving its launching pad. “Funeral” is a song I want to hear again. The production is cinematic, and Wayne’s rapping is gripping. He’s starting strong.

2. “Mahogany”

Wayne’s run-on-sentence flow is exciting. The sample loop and these drums, whew. Mannie Fresh produced this record? He doesn’t miss. Hearing Wayne and Mannie back together in 2020 is bringing some warmth into this cold, cold world. An instant keeper. Wayne’s voice has been touched by time, the tone is exhausted, but he sounds lively. The spirit of the greatest speaking through a worn-out voice. “Good times, no hard times.” “Judge gave me time, I did that time like nap time.” Wayne is a lifeboat floating over every drum kick. I love the slowed, chopped-and-screwed switch at the end—a keeper.

3. “Mama Mia”

We are three songs into the album, and there has been no sign of a hook. Wayne is just rapping like this is a mixtape, and I’m not mad. Love a Wu-Tang reference. I don’t know how I feel about this beat, but it’s being decimated by the one-time rapper eater. “Your partners are poodles.” Wow, that breast line got a chuckle out of me. Wayne is in a zone, “Turn a nigga noodle to nada.” Hahaha, he’s bleeding bars. It’s just line after line after line; there’s no direction. Wayne could’ve recorded this song a capella, and I would have loved it.

4. “I Do It” feat. Big Sean & Lil Baby

Big Sean! Not loving this dragged out flow that he’s using to start. He’s switching it... Well, that’s over. Lil Baby is here, and he’s rapping with the undying fire of an Olympic torch. Baby has zero intention to rap for an endless amount of time. Wayne sounds the best thus far. His melodic flow is a nice change. He made a speedy switch up. He doesn’t sound weighed down by fatigue or exhaustion. He’s agile, excited, a rapper who still enjoys the art of writing and delivering a good verse. I don’t like the hook, and the song is a bit messy: They have Sean, Baby, and Wayne’s voices stitched together at the end like some rapper Frankenstein. Not in love, but don’t hate it.

5. “Dreams”

Singing Wayne doesn’t sound like an angel. The explosive switch-up brought a dead song back to life. This is the Wayne who made “Prom Queen.” He’s back flirting with the rock sound. Not in love with the YouTube-type beat, or the ineffective singing that could use the crutch of Auto-Tune, but he’s rapping, and I’m not mad at it. There’s a great idea in this song, one that I would have loved to see Wayne pull off in 2009. It’s not quite fully formed here. It’s like Cell before absorbing Android 17 and 18. I’m not coming back.
