~ Album Reviews 💿 ~

Album reviews tend to follow a track-by-track format, commencing with an intro paragraph comprised of background information, and concluding paragraph that wraps things up. Also, GEMS 💎 – the best, highly recommended tracks – are selected at the end of each review. It should not come as a surprise to see the analysis run > 1000 words.

Lil Wayne, I Am Not a Human Being II | Album Review

‘I Am Not a Human Being II’ is a good Lil Wayne album, not an elite one. Sometimes he’s ‘on,’ while other times, he's less inspired, recycling past ideas.
