    Rebirth" has moments of genius, and those moments almost always coincide with coupling fiery emotion with punk's propulsive rhythm.

    The problem is that Wayne has very questionable taste in rock. He splutters and wails over tracks stuffed with aggro stomp and bland riffage; it sounds like he's been holing up with a bunch of Spymob and Incubus records.
  3. Pitchfork

    Concocting the world's finest excrement-related rhymes, Rebirth is most definitely a flop, terribly unsexy, and contains surprisingly few shit jokes.
  4. Entertainment Weekly
    33
    A nimble, almost balletic rapper on countless mixtapes, singles, and Billboard-topping collaborations, the 27-year-old comes across both muddled and belligerent on the much-delayed, extensively leaked Rebirth.
  5. Slant Magazine
    30
    The result is not a rock record as much as a total misperception of what makes a rock record. The base elements are all here (the sex and sleaze and guitar solos), but they're delivered in such a flat, awkward way that they feel interpreted by an alien.
  6. BBC Music
    30
    There’s nothing wrong with experimentation, and a handful of rock tracks here could have worked well. But to make a whole album based around a sound Lil Wayne is so inexperienced with is simply outrageous.
  7. No Ripcord
    20
    The derivativeness quickly overwhelms.

    It's not a record for everyone. I never expected the critics to like it and I never expected it to be a "hit" album, but I love it.

    Ok so the album wasnt great but it doesnt deserve a 0... and it also certainly does not deserve a 10. Anyway, Wayne is just experimenting, its Ok so the album wasnt great but it doesnt deserve a 0... and it also certainly does not deserve a 10. Anyway, Wayne is just experimenting, its what artist do. Dont hate just because its not what you expected, thats just selfish. The guy knows what hes doing and could care less if you doubt him. Wayne loves all music and thats what makes him so successful. I love the fact that he can rap his way to rock, its what makes him unique. The guy is an alien he can do what he wants. I would know, were from the same planet... haha … Expand

    Lil Wayne already struggles with being a good rapper and this is the crowning achievement of pure garbage. Some Wayne Stans would say he's Lil Wayne already struggles with being a good rapper and this is the crowning achievement of pure garbage. Some Wayne Stans would say he's being creative and artistic, but the truth is Rebirth is a complete artistic failure with bad production, bad lyrics and just plain badness. … Expand

    Exsqueez me? Baking powder? SEVEN albums? You gotta be f*cking kidding me, right? If you ask me that's seven albums too many from this Exsqueez me? Baking powder? SEVEN albums? You gotta be f*cking kidding me, right? If you ask me that's seven albums too many from this pathetic excuse for an "entertainer." Anyone that buys this shit needs their head examined because you obviously have severe brain damage. This is not music, he is not an artist and he definitely shouldn't be "singing." People that buy this shit are what's wrong with America today. … Expand
