==Recording and production==
In 2016, while Lil Wayne was in the midst of the legal battle with [[Cash Money Records]] over contractual disputes, it was announced that his next album would be titled ''Funeral''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/11/lil-waynes-new-funeral-project-on-the-way/|title=Lil Wayne's New 'Funeral' Project Is on the Way – XXL|date=28 November 2016 |access-date=2020-01-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200125005226/https://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/11/lil-waynes-new-funeral-project-on-the-way/|archive-date=2020-01-25|url-status=live}}</ref> The album was completed in 2019, as Wayne started promoting the album again.<ref>{{cite web |title=Is Lil Wayne teasing his Funeral album again? |url=https://www.thefader.com/2019/04/30/lil-wayne-funeral-album-tease-2019-instagram-story |website=The Fader |access-date=January 30, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Everything We Know About Lil Wayne's New Album 'Funeral' |url=https://www.complex.com/music/2020/01/lil-wayne-new-album-funeral-everything-we-know/ |website=Complex |access-date=January 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200129162303/https://www.complex.com/music/2020/01/lil-wayne-new-album-funeral-everything-we-know/ |archive-date=January 29, 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> In an interview with ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'', Lil Wayne spoke on how his recording process changed throughout his career, saying:
{{quote|I love the difficulty of trying to fit in with what's going on today, making sure I sound likeable to the ears today and having to remind myself that it's not about what it was back then. […] I can't wait to get in the studio now every night, just to see what I can come up with. [Before] it was just me going to the studio and saying, let me kill ten more songs and then I'm going to go home or do whatever I was doing. Now, it's let me see what I come up with. Self-discovery, rebirth – call it whatever you want to call it but it feels awesome, I swear to God.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lil Wayne Talks 'Ghost Recon Breakpoint' Game, 'Funeral' Sessions And More |url=https://www.vibe.com/2019/09/lil-wayne-talks-ghost-recon-breakpoint-game-funeral-sessions-and-more |website=Vibe |date=18 September 2019 |access-date=January 30, 2020}}</ref>}}
The track "Bing James" concludes with 24 seconds of silence, paying tribute to [[2020 Calabasas helicopter crash|the death of Kobe Bryant]]. The album also contains 24 tracks on the standard edition and 8 tracks on the deluxe edition, honoring [[Kobe Bryant]]'s jersey numbers with the [[Los Angeles Lakers]].<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Saponara |first1=Michael |title=Lil Wayne Honors Kobe Bryant With 24 Seconds of Silence on 'Funeral' |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8549776/lil-wayne-kobe-bryant-24-seconds-silence-funeral |magazine=Billboard |access-date=2020-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200404052347/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8549776/lil-wayne-kobe-bryant-24-seconds-silence-funeral |archive-date=2020-04-04 |url-status=live }}</ref>

''Funeral'' was met with a mixed to positive response from critics.{{cn|date=June 2022}} At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a [[Standard score|normalized]] rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an [[Weighted arithmetic mean|average]] score of 62, based on 10 reviews.<ref>{{Citation|title=Funeral by Lil Wayne|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/funeral/lil-wayne|access-date=February 4, 2020}}</ref> Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 5.9 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.anydecentmusic.com/review/10242/Lil-Wayne-Funeral.aspx|title=Funeral by Lil Wayne reviews {{!}} Any Decent Music|website=www.anydecentmusic.com|access-date=February 4, 2020}}</ref> According to [[Robert Christgau]], the album was "downplayed by most of the few outlets that bothered to review it at all—five mostly kindish notices are nonetheless stuck down in Metacritic’s dread 50-60 zone, with only ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s a takedown pan."<ref name="xgau"/>
Reviewing in February 2020 for ''[[Consequence of Sound]]'', Christopher Thiessen said that "''Funeral'' plays less like an album and more like a mixtape" and wrote of Lil Wayne: "He still has endless punchlines to punctuate his effortless flow. He still has clear vision and awareness of his place in the hip-hop game. However, Wayne is not a great editor, and thus listening to ''Funeral'' can become exhausting about halfway through."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/02/album-review-lil-wayne-funeral/|title=Album Review: Lil Wayne's Funeral Celebrates a Life That's Far from Over|date=February 3, 2020|website=Consequence of Sound|access-date=February 5, 2020|archive-date=February 4, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204122915/https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/02/album-review-lil-wayne-funeral/|url-status=live}}</ref> Jacob Carey of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' also criticized the length of the album and concluded that, "overall, ''Funeral'' lacks replay value compared to the multiple 'best of the year' albums that Wayne has proven capable of creating."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/lil_wayne-funeral|title=Lil Wayne Funeral|website=exclaim.ca|access-date=February 5, 2020}}</ref> ''[[NME]]'''s Thomas Hobbs felt that the songs lack a unifying quality within the context of an album, while interpreting the large number of tracks as "an attempt to play into streaming politics". He added that, "it's a real shame that the ambitious druggy swirl of some of the earlier material is replaced with more formulaic songwriting".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/lil-wayne-funeral-review-the-big-kid-2604385|title=Lil Wayne – 'Funeral' review|date=February 2, 2020|website=NME|access-date=February 5, 2020}}</ref> Danny Schwartz wrote in ''Rolling Stone'': "''Funeral'' is wildly uneven, a landscape of pronounced highs and lows. In truth, it peaks early, on 'Mahogany'." Schwartz called "Trust Nobody" the worst song on the album, labeling it a "sunk by a banal and out-of-place Adam Levine hook, while noting that "Get Out Of My Head" is "soured by the great rap pedant [[XXXTentacion]]" and called "Sights and Silencers" a "surprisingly limp [[The-Dream]] ballad that he should have just given to [[Jeremih]]". While applauding the parental neglect-themed "Bastard (Satan's Kid)", he ultimately found ''Funeral'' to be "emotionally adrift".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/lil-wayne-funeral-946939/|title=Lil Wayne Displays Moments of Genius on the Wildly Uneven 'Funeral'|last=Schwartz|first=Danny|date=February 3, 2020|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 5, 2020}}</ref>
Other reviewers were more enthusiastic. In ''[[The Observer]]'', [[Kitty Empire]] wrote that Lil Wayne's "[[flow (music)|flow]] can still be fearsome, even if his edit function remains iffy", and that songs such as "Clap for Em" are more than lively enough to render the album's title "nonsense".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/feb/09/lil-wayne-funeral-review|title=Lil Wayne: Funeral review – fearsome and full of life|last=Empire|first=Kitty|date=February 9, 2020|website=The Guardian|access-date=February 13, 2020}}</ref> [[Pitchfork (website)|''Pitchfork'']]'s Sheldon Pearce credited him for "experimenting with an array of styles and a dizzying maze of wordplay", while comparing his raps to thrilling romps: "Wayne raps with a lightning ferocity that will often conceal his more direct revelations."<ref name="Pitchfork" /> Similarly, ''RapReviews'' critic Ryan Feyre said that "Wayne, much like in his mixtape days, is finally having fun again. And when he does that, the results are captivating."<ref>{{cite web|last=Feyre|first=Ryan|date=February 11, 2020|url=https://www.rapreviews.com/2020/02/lil-wayne-funeral/|title=Lil Wayne :: Funeral|website=RapReviews|access-date=July 18, 2020}}</ref> In his [[Substack]]-published "Consumer Guide" column, Christgau regarded the album as the rapper's best since ''[[No Ceilings]]'' (2009) and explained: "Cherishing no vested interest in hip-hop's musical progress, if any, I enjoy the shit out of it while admitting it's more a collection than an album, its parts more impressive than what they add up to. But it had me from the superb lead/title track: 'Welcome to the funeral/Closed casket as usual/Soul snatching, that’s usual/Amen, hallelujah though/Whole family delusional/Niggas cryin’ like two-year-olds.'"<ref name="xgau"/>
