The Dedication is a mixtape by Lil Wayne, hosted by DJ Drama, released April 2005. It is the first mixtape in the Dedication/Gangsta Grillz series and it was produced and hosted by DJ Drama. The mixtape was given its name because as Wayne explains in the track 'Intro', it is dedicated to everyone around the world and to the 'fallen soldiers'. The cover art shows a shirtless Wayne standing in the road with DJ Drama looking on in the back.

Critical reception[edit]

The mixtape currently holds a rating of 5 stars (based on over 500 ratings) on DatPiff and has generated over 200,000 downloads.^[1] The mixtape has been described as 'Inspirational' and 'A Classic' by rap critics. Paving the way for a world famous mixtape series. ^[2]

Young Money: The Mixtape[edit]

In February 2005, prior to the release of The Dedication, Wayne and his group, Young Money released a mixtape, Young Money: The Mixtape.^[3] It was a double disc tape and featured every song on The Dedication (besides 'Please Say The Baby') without DJ Drama and in their original form. When DJ Drama re-released it as 'The Dedication', he added his tags and cut out the other members of Young Money. He also mashed up some of the songs with different instrumentals:

• Motivation (Mashup of Young Money's freestyle over 'No Problems' and T.I.'s 'Motivation')
• Like Dat (Mashup of Young Money's freestyle over 'New York' and Stat Quo's 'Like Dat')
• Nah This Ain't The Remix (Mashup of Lil Wayne's freestyle over 'Drop it like it's Hot' and Snoop Dogg's 'Drop it like it's Hot [Remix]')
• Much More (Mashup of Young Money's freestyle over 'Lean Back' and Fat Joe's 'Much More')
• D-Boyz (Mashup of Young Money's freestyle over 'Smoke, Drank' and Rich Boy's 'D-Boyz')
• Stilettoes (Mashup of Young Money's freestyle over 'Knuck if you Buck' and Crime Mob's 'Stilettos')

Critical reception[edit]

Dedication 5 was met with positive reviews from music critics. William E. Ketchum III of HipHopDX gave the mixtape a positive review, saying 'To Wayne’s credit, Dedication 5 is the best the series has showcased since its legendary sequel from seven years ago, even if it pales in comparison. Occasionally, the YMCMB head honcho shows that he still has a portion of the skills that earned him his spot among rap’s elite. If he can find recapture the consistency from that same era, he won’t have to apologize to his fans for much longer.'^[13] Brian Josephs of XXL gave the mixtape an L, saying 'Surprisingly, one of the more intriguing moments of Dedication 5 comes in a skit. On one of the final tracks, Lil Wayne is asked if he considers himself a living legend. He doesn’t know, but he concludes by saying being Lil Wayne is “amazing.” Is this just contentment or a positive outlook on things to come, like the entertaining, but flawed Dedication 5 is? Fans could speculate, but it’s much easier to realize how refreshing it is to hear Lil Wayne sounding like he gives a damn.'^[12] Corban Goble of Pitchfork Media gave the mixtape a 5.1 out of 10, saying 'Though he’s still got an ear for the beat and can manipulate his flow to fit-- and, again, most of these bars are rapped without rehearsal, so adjust your mindset accordingly-- Dedication 5 is uneven, front-heavy, and too long for one sitting. But with both recent mixtapes as well as recent projects, Wayne has set the bar very low. What more can he say? It’s hard to know until the artist himself decides, but Dedication 5-- a release whose DatPiff page earnestly reads 'Welcome back Mixtape Weezy”-- shows that some gears are still moving.'^[10]

Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying 'In just a few words, Wayne lends all sorts of gravity to claims that he wants to get better and to do away with the laziness, fear, and negativity of recent years. He’s got a long way to go before he’s ever the Best In The World again, but he’s nothing if not totally, totally… committed. Good to have ya back, Mr. Carter.'^[9] Adam Finley of PopMatters gave the mixtape a six out of ten, saying 'Medical troubles, legal troubles, self-doubt, the crushing weight of expectation – any one of those on its own could cripple an artist. Wayne has stumbled hard in recent years, but with Dedication 5 he seems to have temporarily caught himself. Fujitsu esprimo mobile v6535 bluetooth drivers windows 7 free. He even apologized to fans on Twitter recently and promised to work harder. Dedication 5 is not the best Lil Wayne mixtape ever. It’s not even in the Top 5, but it is the best that he’s released in four years. More importantly, it’s evidence that Mixtape Weezy still exists in some form, if Wayne can stop cashing checks and doing skateboard tricks long enough to let him out.'^[11]

On December 23, 2013, XXL ranked it at number 16 on their list of the best mixtapes of 2013.^[14]
