Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
2015 - After four years of lackluster releases, The Free Weezy Album, billed as a "Tidal exclusive," doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Rating:
-
Hot New Hip Hop
2015 - If FWA was simply an exercising of demons and styles that Wayne wanted to explore, then maybe he’s gotten the less desirable aspects out of the way to make room for another claim of greatness.
-
Genius
It’s Weezy’s best album since Tha Carter III.
-
Consequence of Sound
That kind of cluelessness is the exception, not the rule, on FWA, an important album in Wayne’s career.
-
The Atlantic
2015 - Free Weezy Album at first seems like pure swagger. But then you realize what’s really on the rapper’s mind.
-
SPIN
2015 - Listening to FWA start-to-finish is a bemusing experience as the mood shifts erratically, casting it as a badly formatted playlist.
-
DJ Booth
FWA isn’t terrible, by modern Wayne standards.
-
HipHopDX
2015 - Free Weezy is not the monumental testament the world had hoped for.
-
The Know
2015 - It’s depressing stuff (that’s not easy to relate too), but he does so with razor execution.
-
Vibe
2015 - On his Free Weezy Album, we meet a version of Wayne who still shows signs of genius but ultimately falls short.
-
Pretty Much Amazing
2015 - All of that criticism aside, FWA is not without its moments of genuine fun and musical inspiration.
-
Complex
July 4 release notwithstanding, this is one boring Declaration of Independence.
-
Wickedd Childd
Wayne brings some pretty average lyricism.
-
The Pop Break
“FWA” is solid form beginning to end and will satisfy hardcore Wayne fans for the summer.
-
XXL Magazine
2015 - The Free Weezy Album, or FWA, as it is more commonly referred, is what some people hoped would be Wayne’s return to rap supremacy
-
Rhyme Junkie
2015 - Regardless of what yours is, the Free Weezy Album is sure to fuel its fire.
-
UPROXX
FWA is a huge step forward.
-
Fox Force Five News
Even the auto-tune can’t resuscitate the pitiful vocal track.
-
Rap Reviews
Weezy still has his swagger, and with a little more effort he could add some substance to go along with it
-
True Music Reviews
2015 - Lil Wayne's latest endeavor has some filler, but it is enjoyable as a whole.
-
Soul in Stereo
Although the Free Weezy Album is easily his best release since Tha Carter IV, it still fails to capitalize on a decade of potential.
-
Spectrum Pulse
2015 - This album has energy and intensity and Lil Wayne is on topic, I see the sparks of why I liked him in the first place
-
Reveille
2015 - With only a few interesting songs at the beginning, the rest of the album just wasn’t that engaging
