At the end of the year, Lil Wayne comes up with another project, mixtape, another episode of the "No Ceilings" series, a sort of b-side of the tape released just under a month earlier.
The boy doesn't give up his controversial and meaningless lines, the rather surprising novelty lies in the fact that this tape is much better than the a-side. Hosted again by DJ Khaled, this tape keeps generic beats and accessible deliveries, holds half an hour of music and eleven total cuts: it just doesn't have time to fail, and because of that, it works. On melodic and accessible trap rhythms, with light and decent drums, Weezy provides similar tracks to each other, but all quite discreet (except "Ring Ring", where a mediocre rhythm meets a mediocre delivery, and Euro isn't capable of lifting the piece); sometimes a shy snare drum peeps out, it hurts exclusively in "Pop Off", hard, tight, pounding and unlivable, in what is the worst beat of the project. Lil Wayne seems even concentrated, and the tape at the beginning also deceives you: Big Sean delivers the best cut of the effort on a good accessible, melodic trap beat, blessed with a lively delivery from Carter, the closest thing to a banger that the rapper has provided in this season. 6/10.
