![]() The short answer is, yeah, it’s pretty good. It’s a story that would be better explained elsewhere, but suffice it to say that Birdman’s act of holding the record hostage for nearly seven years had the effect of turning “Tha Carter V” into a legendary record before it was even released, and nothing short of an unmitigated disaster would do anything to diminish that legend.Īnd while I acknowledge that my reviewing the record is largely a futile task, it’s what they pay me to do, so let’s look at if “Tha Carter V” is any good. It’s a lengthy story, complete with lawsuits and a shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus with which both Birdman and fellow rapper Young Thug have long been suspected of being involved. Lil Wayne had a lengthy legal dispute with Cash Money Records head Birdman, after Birdman refused to release the fifth entry into “Tha Carter” series - the last he was contractually obligated to hand over - with Wayne stating he felt like Birdman was keeping him “prisoner.” Most of that has to do with an astounding amount of drama leading up to the album’s release. Let’s get this out of the way right now: No matter how good “Tha Carter V” actually ended up being, it was going to be the most important release of this year.
