The album is almost a statement by the producers on what hip-hop's instrumentals have become, and them trying to audibly explain what they'd like changed.

The production on the album is risky and unproven, and it works. But from the emcee who made "Lollipop" don't be shocked by the numerous references to oral sex. There are of course, tracks obviously dedicated to Wayne's other favorite topics, like "Gunwalk" and "Trigger Finger" which explain Wayne's subtle interests in violence involving automatic weapons, "Rich as ***" which is a piece of celebratory excess, "God Bless Amerika" which is a surprisingly effective piece of social commentary, and "Trippy" which details Wayne's "occasional flirtation" with illicit substances. It makes for a better and more interesting martian, rather than a dull one. I'm not saying the album is by any means deep, but it's refreshing to see Wayne focused. Others are mixed bags, with just lightly humorous and subversive jokes about the subject. A few are revealing, as Wayne reveals some doubts and regrets about women he thought he trusted. A few of the tracks predictably contain references to Wayne's confidence in the bedroom. I Am Not A Human Being II is (mostly) about sex. Unlike Tha Carter IV, it has a unified theme which brings the tracks together. Is the album.enjoyable? For the most part, yes. Is the album revolutionary? This is Lil' Wayne we're talking about. Just expect him being Wayne, but more edgy, saying what he wants, a lot of fun, a lot of high energy.” Is the album Wayne's magnum opus like the YMCMB fanboys have been claiming it will be? That's the wrong question. He's been talked up by every emcee in his posse, especially Mack Maine who has claimed that I Am Not A Human Being II is lyrically "insane" and “When he does I Am Not a Human Being, he actually taps into a different part of his brain where he just talks out of his mind and out of this world.

He's made headlines after talking about quitting music to start skateboarding. Since the release of Tha Carter IV, Wayne's been proving he has no more desire to be normal.

Varying tracks of different genres R&B, hip-hop, rock, all seemed to demonstrate he was trying to fit in. Unfortunately, Tha Carter IV was nothing but average. Whether it be a proclamation that he is the best rapper alive, not a human being, or simply ahead of the curve, we're supposed to believe Wayne is cutting edge. But he's not a rapper.Īlmost every track Lil' Wayne has released emphasizes that he is not ordinary. Review Summary: Wayne reveals a new latent talent with witty punchlines, risky production and an unchained flow.
