‘Billboard Unfiltered': Reviewing Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI' & His All-Time Ranking in Rap
Billboard Unfiltered is back with a reimagined format and will remain a live show every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. ET. Staff writer Kyle Denis, senior director R&B/hip-hop Carl Lamarre and senior charts analyst Trevor Anderson returned with new moderator Delisa Shannon on Wednesday (June 11) as the trio debated the early returns of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI, and all three skewed to various degrees of a negative reception to Weezy's latest installment in his decorated series. More from Billboard Former Evanescence Guitarist, Jen Majura, Announces Decision to 'Step Away' From Music Industry Douglas McCarthy, Nitzer Ebb Vocalist, Dies Aged 58 Ananda Lewis, Influential MTV Host, Dies at 52 Lamarre compared Wayne's career legacy to that of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and said Weezy still remains in his top five of all-time. Although, CL believes that the disappointing album and his solo output over the last decade have watered down his discography. 'I need to fire whoever was A&R and executive producing my brother Wayne's album because this is easily the worst [Carter] in the entire series,' he claimed. '[C6] was just a full trainwreck… When you take out the mixtapes and look at pure albums. From one, five and six on Tha Carter is mid — everything else is mid.' Denis bluntly said C6 is 'not a good album at all' and 'a—.' 'He spent the last year begging for sympathy by him not getting the Super Bowl slot and he deserved that,' he said. 'This was the time to drop a fire album, get one or two hits off of that, and make your actual case for a Super Bowl headlining show next year. That's completely shot now because it's a—… You did not rise to the occasion.' Anderson seemed to enjoy the album most among the Unfiltered crew, highlighting the first six tracks as standouts before being derailed. 'I'm not gonna be that hard on it,' TA began. 'Clearly, it's the weakest entry in the canon… It didn't stick the landing for me… I don't know if this album really messes up [if Wayne is top five or top 10] for me… It does weaken Tha Carter series overall… But I don't think it messes up the legacy peg at all.' The conversation turned to Wayne's legacy and Lamarre believes every top 10 rapper should have at least three classic solo offerings, and he thinks Wayne has two with the second and third installments of Tha Carter, but not much else. 'I'm adamant about saying his [albums] discography is not as strong as people think,' he declared. Ultimately, the trio wants to see Wayne get back to the drawing board and lock in with a singular producer like Nas did with Hit-Boy to bring that greatness out of him. When the dust settled, Shannon gave Trevor Anderson the victory in the first game of the revamped Unfiltered series. Watch the full episode below.

Nicki Minaj Reunites With Lil Wayne for Fiery ‘Banned From NO (Remix)': Listen
It's a Young Money reunion and the remix, baby. After Nicki Minaj was noticeably absent from Tha Carter VI, the Queen reunited with Lil Wayne for the 'Banned From NO (Remix)' on Wednesday (June 11). Fans were disappointed after a rumored C6 collaboration didn't come to fruition, but the latest chapter in the Nicki-Wayne lyrical marriage arrived less than a week later, while Minaj emptied the clip with a fiery verse on 'Banned From NO (Remix).'

The Queens icon then dives head-first into her bristling verse, which finds her sniping at NFL player-turned-podcast host Shannon Sharpe, who has been critical of Minaj in the past. 'If I send a pic of Shannon you ain't that Sharpe/ Cause you still can't spell Prague and that's horrible,' she raps. Minaj then salutes a classic Wayne bar from the Pharrell-produced 'Yes.' 'Weezy F Baby and the F is for Phenomenal,' she mimics. Before leaving the burning booth, Nicki wasn't done and she sent a shot at the NFL about their choices for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which overlooked Wayne in his hometown earlier this year. 'NFL, fire some n—s and then call us,' she spews in defense of the Young Money boss. Tha Carter VI arrived on Friday (June 6) filled with 19 tracks and features from Kodak Black, MGK, Bono, BigXthaPlug, Jelly Roll and Big Sean. The 'Banned From NO (Remix)' marks the first Weezy-Minaj collaboration since 2023's 'RNB' from Pink Friday 2. Listen to the 'Banned From NO (Remix)' below.

Douglas McCarthy, Nitzer Ebb Vocalist, Dies Aged 58
Douglas McCarthy, the co-founding vocalist of English industrial dance outfit Nitzer Ebb, has passed away at the age of 58. McCarthy's death was confirmed by Nitzer Ebb's official social media account on Tuesday (June 11). 'It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that Douglas McCarthy passed away this morning of June 11th, 2025,' a post read. More from Billboard Woman Arrested for Attempted Break-In at BTS Jung Kook's Residence on the Day of His Military Discharge Carín León Is Ready to Prove He's The 'Missing Link' Between Regional Mexican and Country Music The Grammys Add New Country Category for 2026 'We ask everyone to please be respectful of Douglas, his wife, and family in this difficult time,' it added. 'We appreciate your understanding and will share more information soon.' McCarthy co-founded Nitzer Ebb in 1982 alongside school friends Vaughan 'Bon' Harris and David Gooday, with the group taking inspiration from the post-punk genre for their early single releases. That sound soon evolved with more industrial and electronic influences, with the band quickly becoming regarded as noted figures within the 'electronic body music' scene – a genre that combined elements of industrial and punk with dance music. The group's debut album, That Total Age, would be issued in May 1987, and though avoiding chart success, the single 'Join the Chant' would reach No. 9 on the Dance Club Songs charts. Nitzer Ebb would remain a fixture of the chart in the coming years, with singles such as 'Control I'm Here,' 'Lightning Man,' and 'Fun to Be Had' all appearing therein, with the latter giving the band their highest peak when it reached No. 5 in 1990. They would also impact the Alternative Airplay charts, with 1991's 'Family Man' giving them a career high when it reached No. 21. While 1991's Ebbhead would be their only record to reach the Billboard 200 (peaking at No. 146), their follow-up, 1995's Big Hit, would be the band's last for 15 years, with Nitzer Ebb splitting soon after its release. McCarthy would contribute to Recol, the solo project of Depeche Mode's Alan Wilder throughout the '90s, and later collaborate with French producer Terence Fixmer as one half of Fixmer/McCarthy. Nitzer Ebb would reform in 2006 and release their final album, Industrial Complex, in 2010. In 2013, McCarthy would release his only solo album, Kill Your Friends. In recent years, McCarthy had suffered from noted ill health, with Harris taking over vocals for a series of 2021 performances after McCarthy collapsed before a show due to a 'pre-existing' medical condition. In early 2024, McCarthy announced he would no longer be performing live after being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver.
