Now the store I bought it from is closed, like most other records stores taht aren't in malls and charge $18 for a CD.
btw, I wouldn't quite say he's fallen off either. I think you know I liked Rebirth but that was just out of so-fucking=crazy-I-love-it feelings. I Am Not A Human Being was good, at least better than a stop-gap in jail release should be. But I have to say Carter IV is really good. Certainly not as good as II or III, but I like it a lot. I think it's actually pretty solid except for the fucking T-Pain song.

Carter 1, C2, Like Father Like Son, Dedication 2, Da Drought 3, The Drought Is Over 2, C3, No Ceilings..
are all my shit, i can listen to them all day.
but i just can't take Wayne after that era. the hunger is not there anymore.
still, he had a quite legendary run throughout a few years.
btw, surprisingly he did much better on Take Care than on any verse from Tha Carter 4 for me.
gives me some hope for the future..
