Craziest part about this is that literally anyone even somewhat competent should be able to executive produce a good wayne album, it's not like he can't rap.
But somehow wyclef and wayne team ended up making this s*** with all these tacky and corny beats and features.
Can't believe someone went "getting a lin Manuel beat would be a good idea
and we need that jelly roll feat too"

Bono the most egregious to me
f*** that U2 album
Thoughts on my best of 2025 playlist?
Meet Your Padre
Anxiety
Cousins
WW3
Island Holiday
Peanuts 2 N Elephant
Cousins and WW3 are at least better produced than the other slop you have mentioned
Bono the most egregious to me
f*** that U2 album
the Bono song is like, not great
but somehow it was endearing dk why
like it felt comfortable by the end, idk

You have impeccable taste, John
I’m so tired of hearing Wayne over generic, tacky trap beats man
It was the same issue for me with NC3, he rapped his ass off on there but it just starts wearing on you after awhile
Gotta be honest family I wasnt feeling most of it on first listen.
Welcome To Tha Carter, Cotton Candy & Being Myself
I’ll probably be revisiting those the most. Bells could be a grower. I like his voice and delivery for more of this than I expected, but the production and mixing continues to be a letdown. A common theme with these later Wayne albums is something improving and something declining and I’m tired of accepting the compromise, especially on a Carter album.
Even the songs that aint bad but just aight arent enough cause both he as the artist and me as the fan have been doing this for too long to praise mediocrity when theres so much quality in the collection. For me this applies to his past few projects in general. I’m tired of cherry picking for the playlist and I miss having a full, quality body of work from him. Its getting worrying that even the “gems” from this album dont shine like they used to.
I did my first listen and it wasn’t horrible. it’s honestly what I expect from wayne at this point and i’m not gonna go through the mental shambles to accept or not
he my goat so ima pull the songs I like from it just wish it was most of the album and not the other way around

Insane how three GOATs all dropped career-worst songs this year
alright has everyone gotten their initial takes out yet
now lets all play the album a 2nd time and form actual thoughts now that we have our initial reactions out
the Bono song is like, not great
but somehow it was endearing dk why

It’s 2010 coded af I actually like it despite hating Bono lol. Wish it was any other “stadium” singer
Me personally take out Jelly Roll, skip Island Holiday and this is a great album. Best Wayne has sounded in a minute but he still struggles with beat selection
okay…
I heard this for IANAHBII, C4, C5, Funeral, Trust Fund, Tha Fix etc..
C6 has a direction and some dope songs it has a couple of really bad tracks but this is 2025 wayne
take what you like, delete what you don’t and save your “hot takes” for the next album, you gonna have the same reaction 100%
Or if an album is gonna get you that upset just don’t listen to it.
It’s like people want to listen/watch/do something they already think is gonna be bad and then scream from the rooftop that they told us so.
Enjoy what you enjoy, life’s too short
Man this album getting eviscerated on twitter. Lmaooo
OH NO NOT TWITTER?!?!?
Are people even Wayne fans or do they just miss themselves from pre-2012 lol
OH NO NOT TWITTER?!?!?
Nigga stop acting like this album is worth anything. Everyone is s***ting on it

No they didn’t man, people love the Carter albums, and apparently the whole world wanted to see him perform at the Super Bowl.
The album just sucks
