Thankfully, the New Orleanian prodigy is still far from the retirement he announced a few years ago. Without any promo, and still on his Young Money label, Lil Wayne is back with Funeral, only two years after Tha Carter V which nearly never saw the light of day following some points of contention between Wayne and his mentor Birdman. Opting for a longer album with 24 tracks, different to the new standards but not straying from the Carter traditions, this record banks on features chosen by the artist. At 37 years old, of which twenty have been in the business, Lil Wayne knows more than anyone that innovation is key, but he won’t shift his modus operandi that easily (“I know that time change, I don’t think I’ll change” on Stop Playin With Me). He’s joined by Big Sean, Jay Rock, 2 Chainz, Takeoff, O.T. Genasis, his favourite of the moment Lil Baby and his departed-too-soon prodigy XXXTentacion on Get Outta My Head.
Less sombre than it seems, this thirteenth chapter does however give more of an impression of a mixtape than an album reached full maturity. Of course, there is breakneck production galore, such as the deformed synths on Stop Playin With Me, the missives of Mama Mia or second track Mahogany: produced by Sarcastic Sounds and longtime collaborator Mannie Fresh, it recalls the A Milli-era Wayne and gives him the perfect platform to prove that he is “the best rapper alive”, an all-terrain rapper who manages to pull off far-fetched rhymes (“Mahogany dashboard, I do the dash, boy/I think in my backyard, I need an airport) and insert effective hooks. But the overkill (Piano Trap, Line Em Up) which relies on cheesy pop (Trust Nobody with Adam Levine) lets the record down somewhat. Weezy also employs some classic standards and makes sure we don’t forget where he’s from: Clap For Them features a Drag Rap sample from The Showboys (1986), a symbol of Bounce Music and the Dirty South. After mixtapes The Prefix, The Suffix, his 4 Sorry 4 The Waits, Rebirth (2010) and the iconic The Carter series, Funeral takes its logical place. “Even if my real funeral was tomorrow, this wouldn’t be my last album. We’ll keep an eye out for his reincarnation… © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
