Track 1 - American Star - Solid intro track. To quote the sample in a Kanye West song, “He’ll give us what we need, it may not be what we want” A well executed album by a GOAT, but dismissed because of how different/underwhelming it was to the hype. This album falls in the same category as “Kingdom Come” by Jay Z. I'm gonna try to refrain from using smilies to make this easier to read for you guys, because I fully believe this is at least worth a listen. Mods, PM me if you have any problems with this, I legitimately love this album and I feel like it gets brushed aside far too often. Prior to this album, I had never imagined autotune over rock music. As most of us agree, autotune is a vastly underrated instrument/effect. Wayne did something with this album that had never been done before. But, I have a lot of respect for him taking that artistic risk to get out of his lane. Cudi did it, but in my opinion, didn't do it well. He was willing to take artistic risk to make something great. He got out of his comfort zone, of rap music. Lil Wayne changed up his lane with this album. In my opinion, this album is a solid 9//10. But, I disagree with many of the criticisms. Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dadįlow colder than February with extraordinary swagįind T.I.So, this album gets shit on a lot.
