feeling that I don’t even know where to begin. The opening track had piano playing in the background that was surprisingly good. Hearing the piano got me excited again. I hoped for a comeback that would be reminiscent of the Carter III‚ but that changed when he started to speak. Lil Wayne still has his raspy‚ hoarse voice that doesn’t add much weight to the album.

Through his prurient‚ violent threatening to Michele: “thrashing of your life‚ shoot him in the head‚ swear on your father’s head”‚ it is obvious that Pino‚ from a seemingly nice and happy father at the start
