Even if he only smoked weed and drank syrup there’s no doubt he’d have an altered mindstate that would lead him to question the nature of reality and even his own perception of events. I prefer to believe that he at times doesn’t know whether his life is really real or The Matrix, and that’s with or without the numerous amounts of mollys and percocets he seemingly uses based on his bars. It could be that Lil Wayne only meant to put a pop culture reference into “Problems” with no deeper meaning. I’m never home every time I thought I was home it was only the Matrix” I live all alone no house telephone, talk to you later I’m never wrong one time I thought I was wrong, I was only mistaken “If lovin me is wrong, I don’t wanna be right then b***h you hate me Perhaps it’s also a cliche of a reviewer to over-analyze songs like “Problems” that are only meant for entertainment, but at times it feels like Wayne is pouring his heart into the pages of his lyric sheets and wondering if it’s all worth it. A Wayne album ends up feeling like a vlog from a famous celebrity, one where you’re both entertained by the drama and slightly ashamed of yourself for enjoying how off the rails their life is. It feels as though he embodies the cliche of the “tortured artist” where no amount of fame, money or success can make him TRULY happy. That’s exactly what makes Dwayne Carter an interesting artist though. Wayne still released their duet “Don’t Cry” as a single and presumably the royalties are going to his estate, though I’m not privy to that information. Unfortunately the release came too late for XXXTENTACION to pop champagne with Wayne. The fact he finally got to release “Tha Carter V” his way through Young Money/Republic/Universal had to feel like a huge victory after so much drama. We won’t even get into the numerous other beefs he’s had with people in the long span since “ Tha Carter IV” back in 2011. A long standing legal battle between Wayne and Cash Money Records mogul Baby/Birdman ended in a settlement that released him from the label. He’s had a lot of health problems including multiple seizures that have led fans and media to speculate about his use/abuse of syrup.
Realistically there’s no way to ever be 100% caught up given just how much drops every week between mixtapes, retail albums and everything in between, but something as significant as a Lil Wayne “Carter” album just can’t be skipped over.įor what it’s worth Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. Now that RR is up to par it’s easier to get caught up on the backlog of hip-hop albums. We went through a lot of things around here back when “Tha Carter V” dropped including redesigning the entire website.
