Lighter flick\u2026 inhale\u2026 beat drops. Tunechi\u2019s back! After nearly a year from releasing his last album, \u2018I am not a Human Being\u2019, Tunechi, best known as Lil Wayne, has exposed his latest creation, \u2018Tha Carter IV\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to Vibe magazine online, the Carter IV is projected to sell over 900,000 copies in its first week.<\/p>\n

Prior to August 29, 2011, his mix tape \u2018Sorry for the Wait\u2019 was purposely leaked as a preview to the official album on various media networks such as, YouTube and iTunes. The album has been highly anticipated. If you are like me, you would be somewhat confused by the mix tape. Like most of his mix tapes, \u2018Sorry for the Wait\u2019 is a collection of covers and collaborations. Some of the covers include, \u201cRacks,\u201d \u201cRollin\u201d, and \u201cMarvin\u2019s Room\u201d borrowed from Young Money\u2019s own, Drake.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tha Carter IV\u2019 was definitely worth the wait! The album is structured by fifteen singles. There are also four deluxe version bonus tracks on the deluxe album. One of my personal favorites is \u2018John\u2019 featuring Rick Ross. I like the song because it has an amazing beat that just yells \u201cTurn me up!\u201d
\nSome people say that he could have done better. I say, let\u2019s not forget, it is Wayne.<\/p>\n

He is bound to make his millions, regardless! Considering the fact that there was so much buzz about the album, I\u2019m sure Wayne has not let his fans down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWayne is real music. I think that he is going to sell at least two million the first week, Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive,\u201d said Jamal Carter, a senior recreation administration major from Livingston, Ala. On the other hand, some fans disagreed with Carter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t like every song. I did not like the cover Wayne did called \u2018Gucci Gucci\u2019. It sucked! But, I\u2019m still a Wayne fan,\u201d said Will Pollard, a sophomore criminal justice major from Gary, Ind.<\/p>\n

I cannot speak for everyone when I say that Wayne has been \u201cmissed.\u201d Yes, his songs were leaked before the album, but the industry really isn\u2019t balanced without his electric performances and radio hits.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be real, I\u2019m certain that you guys were tired of Wayne\u2019s green screen cameos this past year, because, there were a lot of them! Overall, Tha Carter IV speaks the truth. We can never be disappointed by his intense flow along with those enticing lyrics. As Lil Wayne fans, we follow his music only to realize how much thought seems to be put into every lyric of every bar. Wayne is deep! He basically sums it up for us all.<\/p>\n

Wayne fan or not, we all know his music hits hard. Maybe he is simply the \u201cbest rapper alive.\u201d What do you think? In my opinion, the mixtape and album presumes him as the last man standing\u2026 well, at least until T.I. makes his come back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
