Lil Wayne is a lot of things: rapper, entrepreneur, Grammy winner and cough syrup enthusiast to name a few, but he is definitely not a rock star. After spending 10 years becoming one of the hottest MCs in the rap world, Lil Wayne decided to try and force his way in to the world of rock and roll.

“Rebirth” is an album that has no real direction. Each song takes on a different rock subgenre, ranging all the way from nu metal to old school punk and pretty much every where in between. Unfortunately almost all of these attempts at rock fall flat. Wayne tries to mix his signature rap style into the songs with almost no success.

Out of the 12 tracks on the retail release of “Rebirth,” only two are worth listening to. “Drop the World” and “Knockout” are at the very least interesting if not quality songs. “Knockout” sounds like a mix between Blink 182 and Avril Lavigne and features a verse by Wayne’s Young Money label mate Nicki Minaj.

“Drop the World” has absolutely no place on the album. It is really just a rap song with some extra guitar, but has a verse by Eminem that puts it into the upper tier of the songs on the album.

Spending more that two dollars on “Rebirth” would be a tragedy, so if you are really curious, I would recommend buying the two stand-out tracks on iTunes and calling it a day.
