Weezy’s flow goes together with rock about as well as journalists and Vladimir Putin. “Rebirth” should alienate Weezy’s fans the lack of classic Tha Carter material pushes his core fans away, while the low-quality rock won’t appeal to a different crowd. There are moments of electronic-inspired brilliance, but not enough to justify this nü-metal shitstorm. If “Rebirth” is an indicator for Weezy’s influences, he must’ve been listening to the dregs of alt-rock from the past two decades. The riffs and chords on this album never rise above a beginner level-as his album cover suggests, his “rebirth” is nothing more than the product of several sessions of lazy doodling. Lil Wayne should’ve learned to play the guitar before he decided to become a “rock star.” Apparently those rumored lessons with Kid Rock didn’t pay off, to the embarrassment of both men. Weezy’s guitar playing is so bad that it makes this album unlistenable.
After delaying the album, balking at multiple release dates, releasing four singles, changing the tracklist after an shipping error, it became apparent that “Rebirth” was never a good idea in the first place. On January 23 of last year, he made the mistake of clarifying that “Rebirth” would be his rock album debut, not a re-release of “Tha Carter III” as was originally believed. He was obviously aware of it, too because he did just about everything he could to wipe away the hype surrounding this album.
