He reminds you that he can still kill an uppercut with his flow, and he’s so skilled here that it’s easy to miss how good his pun is. The album packs a punch and erases any doubt after years of delay, but when you get to “Problems” it’s obvious that Wayne is still among the best. Halfway through Tha Carter V it becomes clear that the wait was worth it. “Nightmares” has a beat that feels like Wayne could have recorded years before, and being among C4’s official singles makes it all the more exceptional. Wayne had spent the last few years cultivating that rock star persona, and now, fresh out of Rikers, he debuts a new song on an MTV Unplugged session.
It was never an official single, but “Nightmares of the Bottom” is one of the songs that made Tha Carter IV what it was.
