It’s about time we put Tha Carter V in the same category as Detox. Lil Wayne seems more interested in getting face tattoos and skateboarding than making music in a studio. His latest twitter post is an example of that:

Lil Wayne has turned what was once a hobby, skating, into a full-blown career and rapping has taken a backseat because of that decision. The once self-proclaimed “best rapper alive” hasn’t put together a mixtape/album in over a year and the quality of his latest efforts pale in comparison to the Wayne that everyone liked in the mid-2000’s.
It’s more likely we see Wayne competing in the X Games than we see him performing on the Grammy stage in the near future.
