    It doesn’t reach the heights of ‘III’ but probably crests ‘V’. His best work in a decade? A living legend re-asserts his worth, as if any reminder were needed.

    No one should begrudge Wayne for being contented on Tha Carter VI, secure in his reputation as one of the best to ever do it. But he can’t prevent his audience from opting for the classics instead.

    Lil Wayne exhibits glimpses of the brazen genius of his earlier self intermittently on Tha Carter VI, but the album feels like a battle between those moments of greatness and the rest of his weird swings and inadvisable choices.

    An album that feels more akin to an oddly shaped misfire of a satirical take than it does the latest installation of an ultra-successful series of rap albums.

    More than anything, Tha Carter VI is suffused with a sense of indifference, as Wayne comes across like a man with nothing left to prove, and he performs accordingly.

    Songs feel simultaneously tossed off and over-considered; there are perhaps two passages across C6’s 67 minutes that scan as anything other than the product of a hyper-competent professional in need of serious creative guidance. It would be a disaster if any of it mattered.
