For those who like Lil Wayne, what did you think. Its not often we get a rapper going rock.

I thought it was alright. The talent is there but its obvious that the different direction Lil Wayne is not experienced in. If he wants to continue this, he needs to hone his skills as a rocker.

He is decent but he definetly doesnt consider the hype to be considered the best "rapper", i think some people ride on him way too much imo.

He has not been the same since The Carter, which was great, and the mix tapes that came out around that time and a few years after. The Carter 2 was good. The Carter 3 was piss. And now Rebirth...I am disappoint. And I want you all to know that he used to be my favorite rapper, so I am not completely biased.

He is one of the best, so its natural there will also be alot of people who hate him.

I think this new album has rough edges. If he wants to pursue rock in the future get better influences than Coldplay.

I have HATED lil wayne with a passion for the longest time, but there is something about the song "Drop the World" that i cant get enough of. I am also very picky when it comes to rap, but Drop the World is just a great song.

I really only liked Ground Zero and Drop The World. Now the Young Money album, that was pretty good, even if it is pretty much all sex, money, and poop/toilet metaphors.

He wont continue it. I really enjoyed it, I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan of wayne though, it was good music. It might not have been good rap or good rock, it's kinda somewhere in the middle, whatever it was it was good music and enjoyable :)

Lil Wayne is a disgrace to hip hop music, as is any other rapper who blatantly abuses auto-tune, but Wayne is the worst.

How do you know he won't continue it? There is potential there. Before he was truly even trying to rock he is one of the view "rockstars" left in the industry.

That's exactly how I feel. I think he is an very overrated rapper and his so called rock album sounds a lot like his rap music.

he is horrible, his raps was great until carter 3 came out.

And Now Hes doing a rock album? the tracks are horrid, and then his singing is covered up with autotune, because he knows he cant sing.

Rebirth=Fail

this guy has really gone down hill, all he does is drink syrup and say stupid crap in his songs cause hes always under the influence.

His voice is really bad when it comes to rock. It works for his rap stuff since that doesn't need a good singing voice, but in his rock songs it just sounds awful.

To be honest, I'm a metalhead, and I like this. I dabble hip hop occasionally like Mos Def, Talib Kweli and the like ,but I think that Rebirth is an interesting and good album. It's not Lil' Wayne's norm, but I appreciate the fact that he is man enough to try something different, whether it flops commercially or not. It's not one of my favorite albums of 2010, but I do like it. "Drop The World" is one of my favorites off it.

ehhhh to each his own I guess, he needs to stick to rap, and go back to his roots, this stuff is some BS, even the guys who play the live instrumens suck, it just sounds like banging on drums and distortion. Carter 2 was great cause Wayne, was trying to prove to the world hes the Greatest Rapper Alive, now all this stuff is garbage cause he thinks hes made it. I dont know if you like Hip Hop or Rock, but there are much much better songs out there....

Even worse then the usual garbage he has been putting out recently. And no, I'm not one of the people that just hate him, I actually admit that some of his older stuff was actually not bad..but since Tha Carter 2, the dude has been putting out nothing but complete garbage IMO.

Ok, let me just say I absolutely hate the music Lil Wayne makes. His voice makes me cringe and his music is just overall bad. This album just reinforces me thoughts on the guy.

Listen Walter...... you basically said I have bad musical tastes!! I know Rebirth is not that good overall, but as someone said I applaud the effort to create variety within your own label. There are some good songs in there. Seeds or future endeavors, plus I did say this was for non Lil Wayne haters. If you do not like Lil Wayne to begin with then....

He has not been the same since The Carter, which was great, and the mix tapes that came out around that time and a few years after. The Carter 2 was good. The Carter 3 was piss. And now Rebirth...I am disappoint. And I want you all to know that he used to be my favorite rapper, so I am not completely biased.clayron
Go listen to his mixtape he dropped for free last falled called "No Ceilings". That I would have paid 15$ for.

None of his work ever impressed me. I'm not big on rap but to my knowledge he's a sell out and not worth any time.

Some of those "rock" songs are just ... I am speechless. Who can take that seriously? What did he actually contribute to those "songs" They just slapped his face on the record... he couldn't play a proper guitar chord if his life depended on it. It is an insult and a mockery to actual musicians.

Ummm he played guitar at an award show a few years back and he played many proper chords right, in succession, making what you would call a song. Rebirth isnt an amazing album but it isnt as bad as you're making it out to be.

He made a what now? I have never even heard of this...

Do people take Lil Wayne seriously as an MC? I thought he was a joke MC, like MC Chris or whatever... the dude is a scrub anyway.
