My thoughts: This is the first rapcore-album by world-wide rapper Lil Wayne and most of his fans have responded negatively on his transition from mainstream gangsta- and club-rap to raping over rock and metal, but I have to say that it’s a step in the right direction for him. Sure, some of the tracks aren’t even worth listening to and he can’t really pull this of live, but most of his tracks, like Prom Queen and Paradice are way better than his usual crap. He has an amazing voice for rap so it’s a shame that he’s almost only done mainstream music, but the lyrics on most of his song from this album are lightyears better than his ordinairy lyrics.

Grade: 8/10 – This may by far be the best album ever to come out of Lil Wayne’s sleeve, but some of the songs are still as horrible as his usual work. But it’s ´worth listening to, without a doubt.
