  1. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    ...you know that it's his rock & roll record — not such a crazy idea for this leather-clad Martian with serious rock-star appeal. The problem is that Wayne has very questionable taste in rock

  2. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Lil Wayne has earned his time in the spotlight the hard way, but it’s hard to view Rebirth as anything other than resting on his laurels

  3. 4.5 |   Pitchfork

    Read Review

  4. 4.0 |   Eye Weekly

    ...from horrendous Limp Bizkit cast-offs to goofy pop-punk that no sane person would pay cash money for

  5. 4.0 |   NME

    Print edition only

    Rebirth is as close to unlistenable as any major star has been in years
    Read Review

  11. 2.0 |   No Ripcord

    ...it’s remarkable how an artist can go so quickly from making one of the last decade’s best records to making one of the new year’s worst

  12. 2.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    Read Review

  13. 2.0 |   The Times

    The solitary highlight is Eminem’s verse on Drop the World
