Lil Wayne - “The Rebirth”
“@Aussie: 1901 is sick. But it's synth punk. I gotta give it 5*. I can see why a lot of ppl don't like it, but I do. Wayne doing a rock album is not new. Wayne's been experimenting with rock since Carter II and pushing the envelope further with each album. He may have alienated rock fans by jumping back and forth between sub-genres. I love it. I'm a fan of "white ppl music". Yeah, "white ppl music". Within rock, you have alternative, punk, synth punk, acoustic, emo, screamo, indie, etc. and fans of each hate the others. Well, I just like it if it's good, everything from neo-soul to kumbia. A lot of ppl are saying Ground Zero isn't rock. Actually it is. Rap rock has almost become a rock sub-genre to itself. Nothing new, the intensity of the instrumentals lends itself well to rap-like delivery. Rockers have been doing it for years. I'll admit there are some lacking tracks, but I've never heard an album that was 100%. If you want to hate, it's easy to find a reason. I'm glad Wayne did this. It's obviously something he was passionate about, enjoyed, and will be enjoyed by the right listener. I hated the delays, but I understand them. Did he do this to win a Grammy? Did he expect to? Maybe in the beginning, but he knew he was fighting his own popularity and fickle public. But he still did it because he wanted to. If you're a hater at all, you'll hate this album. Even if you're not a hater, you still might not like it based on your foundation or experience. Love to Weezy for going all in, looking to good ppl, and for not doing what everyone else wanted. This sounds as much or more like the Wayne I hear on all of his albums and mixtapes. This is Wayne. If you don't like this, you don't like Wayne. You may like his lines or attitude, or delivery, or voice, but not him. I do.” Corner49's Rating:
