Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter VI’ Gets 2.9 Rating From Pitchfork, Album Criticized For ‘Disposable’ Beats & Lack Of ‘Creative Guidance’

Music magazine Pitchfork is keeping it brutally honest in its review of Lil Wayne’s latest project, Tha Carter VI.

Following a wave of fan backlash when the album dropped last Friday (June 6), Pitchfork echoed the disappointment by stamping the project with a low 2.9 rating. The outlet laid out its main issues with the album, calling out the lack of standout records and what they see as a lack of creative direction from the rap legend.

“The first problem is that there aren’t any good songs… there are perhaps two passages across C6’s 67 minutes that scan as anything other than the product of a hyper-competent professional in need of serious creative guidance,” Pitchfork wrote.

The review also slammed the album’s production, adding:

“Many of the album’s beats are simply too disposable to be the scaffolding of anything good.”

While Pitchfork did shout out “Rari” as a highlight, calling it Wayne’s best performance on the project, they ultimately concluded the album failed to live up to expectations, especially for an artist of Wayne’s stature.

Did Tha Carter VI live up to the hype for you, or are you siding with the critics?
