However, there were many positive reactions to Tha Carter VI album.

“I can’t understand all the hate behind this album. This is Wayne’s best album since IANAHB2,” praised one listener. “There’s literally 2 maybe 3 skips on the whole album. The production is unapologetically Lil Wayne. It’s a weird album and I fkn love it.”
