1 out of 5 stars This isn't even music....   November 14, 2008
P. Myers (Alberta)
This sucks so bad, the videos and Lil wayne look so pathetic. Rap sucks and this album proves it. Not only that but if rap fans think this clown who wares 10 year old's jeans is a great rapper then it proves rap sucks. Even the rap aside....some 80's rap is ok but this stuff is just so obviously stupid and talentless....who the hell buys this stuff!

This review is written by Mr. Bradberry's students:
Lil wayne is a good rapper. He is well known for all his songs on the carter 3. A big song in his work was called A Milli. This song tell about how much he got from the first week of selling the carter 3. Another big song was lollipop, that is the best, liked song by lil wayne. Same with all the other ones. lil wayne's partner in most of his song in T-pain. T-pain and lil wayne are from different recording company, but they are well known together. lil wayne's company is cash money records from 2001-2003 lil wayne's albume drot is over... didnt really get anything as in fame from that albume. 2004 he started carter 1. the carter tracks is what made lil weezy. The five top tracks from the carter 3 are mr carter, tie my hands, let the beat build, normal version of docter carter, and a milli.

I absolutely adore this CD and know about 92% of lyrics due to constant listening. Sadly I lost the actual CD, and bonus CD, and case, but I had already ripped the music to my computer so I am surviving! But I plan on repurchasing the CD in the near future. How could I not? He's the best rapper alive!

There comes a time where we all have to be judgemental and not follow a crowd, or not praise or slander something or someone because it's cool to do. For those few people who've been following my reviews, I'm sure I have an idea what you're thinking. You're probably thinking, "What Chandler?! You gave Wayne 8 out of 10 stars? You must be on that down south type ****." Or could it be "What? 8 out of 10 stars? No way Chandler! I stuck by your reviews for so long, and this is how you repay me??? You gave Masta Ace, and Immortal Technique 8 stars. Is Lil' Wayne just as good as them?" Whatever reason you're thinking why I didn't give Wayne a low score, because he's overrated and proclaims himself as "The Best Rapper Alive", I have a few words for you: Get a life! Just like EJ Rupert said in his review, is it cool to listen to underground and mainstream artists, without slamming one or the other? (this goes for half of you people who are on those Amazon threads as well)

Well, as for Lil' Wayne himself, he hits what he proclaims as a "3 Peat" with his third follow up in "Tha Carter" trilogy. I admit, he has stepped is game up since back in '04 when he came out with Tha Carter 1, which was mediocre (admit it, you only liked it because it was the cool thing to do). But in late '05/early '06 he came much harder on Tha Carter II. So can Wayne live up to the hype that he has been swimming in for the past year. When you hear how he rips on "Mr. Carter" featuring Jay-Z, the answer is apparently "yes". No matter how you match him up with the beats, he'll put them to good use. Just check out "A Milli" on how he handles it (and thank you every rapper popular and non-popular for freestyling that beat into the ground). "Dr. Carter" has a good concept as Wayne plays a doctor to rappers who are not good. Further down the album is the great and deep song "Tie My Hands" featuring Robin Thike. And then is the hilarious "La La" with Busta Rhymes and Brisco.

Songs that I don't like in particular is the second single "Ms. Officer" (that song get mass amount of airplay, and that "weedle weedle weedle" sound is VERY annoying). Some songs just don't make sense, such as "P***y Monster" and "Phone Home" (trying to be E.T. there huh?)

Overall, a great album. Wayne has hit a high mark in his career. Is he the best rapper alive? No, but he getting up there with everybody else. Which brings me to another thing: Record sales do not determine how great a rapper's skills are. Just becaue Wayne sold "A Milli" in a week, does no make this album the best ever made. Many albums have leaps and bounds over this and barely hit platnum (ex: Nas' Illmatic was relesed in 1994, but didn't go gold until '96 and platnum until 2001). Lil' Wayne may have done his job as an artist with an excellent album. Just like The Rolling Stone Magazine said in their review "Believe The Hype" (and gave this 4 1/2 stars). For me, it's 8 out of 10 in my opinion. Peace.
