This album is really really bad. Lil Wayne released a rock album on February 2nd, with hopes of being discovered not just as a rapper but as one who is talented in multiple areas. Areas that most involved in the hip hop game do not go to, and for good reason. When a rapper has been rapping for as long as Wayne has, it seems like an odd concept to start devoting time into what he thinks will sell to the rock crowd.
Sadly there are many preconceived notions in both genres of music. Those that heavily favor rock may feel that most rappers are, blood sucking, money taking, drug sellin, gang bangin individuals with no content behind work. And those against favor rap may feel that rock is filled with a bunch of tight pant wearin, white boys who scream about the hardships of breakups with girl friends of 2 months. Well sadly I do not think Wayne realized with the release of this album that people are not perfect and stereotype. These stereotypes affected the sales of the Rebirth album.
One can some it up with the rockstar life style that Wayne thought he saw, was just a mirage. Lil Wayne is a rapper, and a fabulous one at that however it is rare that an artist makes it out of a genre. Not like most people, I still got mad respect for Lil Wayne and will continue to support him I will just never buy another rock album that he releases.
