Wayne’s second album offered a better showcase for his burgeoning talent than Tha Block Is Hot. His finest full-length in a decade, the 36-year-old’s music-making instincts and passion for rap reach levels we feared would never return. Wayne puts the frustrating delays and legal wrangles with Birdman in his rearview mirror with a personal, big-hearted record that combines modern sounds and thrilling early-00s pastiches. His froggy flow would smooth out, and quotable lines would become more cutting, but there’s plenty of no-nonsense street bars and plaintive musings from a kid who was already a father. The 17-year-old little Wayne’s ferocious debut encapsulated the Cash Money Records machine with Mannie Fresh’s rumble’n’bump beats and ample appearances from Weezy’s group Hot Boyz and Big Tymers. This is well made early-2010s hip-hop, but where is Wayne’s once uncontainable personality? 8.
