    Been quiet, but have given it enough spins now as to where I can weigh-in:

    Track-by-Track:
    1. King Carter - :emoji_thumbsup:
    2. Welcome to Tha Carter - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    3. Bells - :emoji_thumbsup:
    4. Hip-Hop - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    5. Sharks - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    6. Banned From NO - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    7. The Days - :emoji_thumbsup:
    8. Cotton Candy - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    9. Flex Up - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    10. Island Holiday - :emoji_thumbsdown:
    11. Loki's Theme - :emoji_thumbsdown:
    12. If I Played Guitar - :emoji_thumbsup: (I can't explain why)
    13. Peanuts 2 N Elephant - :emoji_thumbsdown::emoji_thumbsdown:
    14. Rari - :emoji_thumbsdown:
    15. Maria - :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:
    16. Bein Myself - :emoji_thumbsup:
    17. Mula Komin In - :emoji_thumbsdown::emoji_thumbsdown:
    18. Alone In The Studio With My Gun - :emoji_thumbsdown::emoji_thumbsdown:
    19. Written History - :emoji_thumbsup:

    Rating:
    My rating scale isn't very formulaic, but assuming a :emoji_thumbsdown::emoji_thumbsdown: = 1, :emoji_thumbsdown: = 2, :emoji_thumbsup:=3, and :emoji_thumbsup::emoji_thumbsup:=4:
    • total count = 55
    • total possible = 76
    • Avg = 72% (i.e., 7.2/10)
    • Minus 1 for length = 6.2/10 = 6/10 :emoji_shrug: seems about right

    Expanded thoughts:
    1. A 6/10 is not good, especially for a flagship album in the series; my general bar is that a 5/10 is deemed barely listenable
    2. 'King Carter' should have been the outro, 'Welcome to Tha Carter' the intro
    3. 'The Days' = 'Revival'
    4. Is 'Island Holiday' a Rebirth leftover from 2009? What's going on here?
    5. s--- really started to go downhill started at 'Island Holiday'
    6. C5 suffered from being too long. C6 is no different. Cut 1/3 of the tracks and the album would have replayability. The shorter the album, the longer it's played tbh
    7. Wayne should have stopped the Carter series at 5, like initially planned. There's no better track than 'Let It All Work Out' to close out the series. d---.

    @WeezySXN tell me I'm wrong w/ my track ratings

    She sucks these days. That diss track to Megan Thee Stallion was embarrassingly bad and she is not a good person

    6/10 is pretty high lol I gave it a 5 and I felt too generous. I might just like Rebirth more lol.

    I didn’t say “f--- Nicki Minaj” because of her music. You’re repeating the same thing you’ve repeated a million times from your dialogue tree. It makes conversing with you really f---ing boring. I never said you have to be a good person to be a rapper. I don’t know why you have to be such a hivemind bot 90% of the time. You don’t respond to things like a human would. You are the text equivalent of a soundboard.

    WPG is gay, so his voice only matters in June.

    I rated it 6/10 too. Kinda wanna lower it to 5/10 but I don’t care enough about this album anymore to really worry about giving it the proper rating. I don’t wanna listen to it anymore.

    I’ll hate on whoever I want to. I’m not here to defend Megan, Remy, or Cardi, I don’t give a f---. None of these things you’re bringing up change the fact that I think her feature on the Wayne remix sucks. Cope harder

    Feel like people are blowing this album way out of proportion with the quality. It’s a 4.5 at worst, in no world is this album a 2 lmfao

    She is definitely one of the GOATs. It’s just that more often than not I don’t enjoy her new music anymore. Although I did like a considerable amount of her last album even though it got heavily criticized so there’s that. Everybody is still a bop
