#LIL WAYNE NEW ALBUM TRACKLIST PROFESSIONAL#

As Wayne heads into a new decade-his fourth as a professional rapper-itвЂ™s hard to know where his head is at, where heвЂ™s coming from, or where heвЂ™s going.Tyler the Creator has unveiled the tracklist for his forthcoming album, вЂCall Me If You Get LostвЂ™.

Aside from a few moments, like вЂњBastard (SatanвЂ™s Kid),вЂќ which touches on WayneвЂ™s fatherвЂ™s neglectful parenting, Funeral is emotionally adrift. Lil WayneвЂ™s previous album, Tha Carter V, was also overlong, but it was at least anchored by a gentle familial undercurrent. The simple removal of the albumвЂ™s eight worst songs would have framed Wayne less as an unruly fire hose and more as a madcap rap virtuoso, which he is. While that version of Wayne tempered his referential, stream-of-consciousness style with masterful pacing and comedic timing, too many songs on Funeral -like вЂњDarkside,вЂќ вЂњWayneвЂ™s World,вЂќ вЂњMama Mia,вЂќ and the title track-devolve into word vomit, as if heвЂ™s trying to spew out entire verses in a single breath. These are the quintessential, delightfully random moments that Wayne fans have lived for since his Drought 3 days. Funeral is pockmarked with duds.ДЇuneral is also studded with classic Wayne-isms-like when he shouts out Sinead OвЂ™Connor, casually references the condiment Heinz 57, and cooks up a bit of wordplay inspired by Eric Snow, the former NBA player whose unremarkable career peaked in 2003.

ThereвЂ™s вЂњTrust Nobody,вЂќ sunk by a banal and out-of-place Adam Levine hook вЂњGet Out Of My Head,вЂќ soured by the great rap pedant XXXTentacion вЂњSights and Silencers,вЂќ a surprisingly limp The-Dream ballad that he should have just given to Jeremih and вЂњDreams,вЂќ which sounds like WayneвЂ™s audition for a high school production of an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.

In truth, it peaks early, on вЂњMahogany.вЂќ Amidst a smoky Eryn Allen Kane sample (produced by Mannie Fresh and Sarcastic Sounds), Wayne harnesses his run-on sentence syndrome by tracing the many associative strands that run away from the word вЂmahoganyвЂ™: вЂњMahogany door handle to match the floor panel/ Mahogany sand, mahogany Dior sandal.вЂќ The battle for the albumвЂ™s worst song is much more contentious. It is rife with defects-poor editing, clumsy sequencing, and a pupu platter of room-temperature trap beats-that highlight WayneвЂ™s worst tendencies as much his stylistic flair.ДЇuneral is wildly uneven, a landscape of pronounced highs and lows. Despite an encouraging performance from the Best Rapper Alive emeritus, Funeral represents a failure of album construction. He is, at times, still a wonder-an ageless Swiss army knife who can carve up any beat with any gadget in his toolkit, who deploys angular flows and zany metaphors and executes dicey hairpin vocal turns from mutter to wail. Wayne has good reason to indulge this impulse. This album is the work of latter-day Mixtape Weezy, who is eager to treat songs as exercises, to prioritize spectacle over substance, to showcase his technical daring and singular lyrical imagination. These trials have little bearing on the direction of his 13 th studio album Funeral, in which he eschews introspection and sets out on a mission to bury other rappers across a digressive 24-song tracklist. A creative slump, a year-long stint in jail, the seizures, the bitter, prolonged label battle-the вЂ10s were a tough decade for Lil Wayne.
