Hell, it’s Lil Wayne.Įxtended rolling piano keys at the entry suggest that this partial title track will be some sort of inspirational anthem. It’s perverse, it’s bipolar, it’s abrasive, and it’s dark, yet it’s oddly bright. There are stellar moments to the work though, buried deep within the lewdness that riddles the greater whole. While the original was slapped together before serving a prison bid, part II was supposed to be finely tuned. He was off that lean (though that’s up for debate after recently suffering seizures) and carefully crafting this two-year opus. “I Am Not a Human Being II” was geared to be Wayne’s moment of clarity. With 2010’s “I Am Not a Human Being,” Wayne was paying for the sins of the rocky “Rebirth,” but continued with upward mobility toward “Tha Carter IV.” In that respect, “I Am Not a Human Being II” (March 26, Cash Money Records) is a step backwards. Many did not find that move palatable, especially coming from whom some deemed as a half-baked lyricist. Once he shed the skin of a Cash Money second-class citizen to ultimately stage a polite coup and brand takeover, Weezy transformed from the student to the YMCMB teacher. Lil Wayne has always been a polarizing figure, though.
