All Eyez On Weezy: Tha Carter III Leaks

The much anticipated Carter 3 has leaked everywhere it seems; we all await the impact on the world from the hyped up album. The self proclaimed “Best Rapper Alive” wants to sell 5 million copies, but in today’s blog driven society I feel it’s going to be difficult. I mean if you are the best then this album has to beat, nay be much better than, “Graduation”, “The Cool”, “Rising Down”, etc etc etc…… I will agree that the album is not garbage, but is it the BEST? Can you critique it in the same category as the albums I mentioned? You have too I guess….so I’d love to hear some people’s opinions on the album as most people probably already got it from some leak outlet. There will either be hate or love for the album, but what I’m interested in is an honest unbiased critique, because music is art, and we have to critique art.

The production on the album is real pro, which I expected from money bags Weezy; Kanye produced 25% of the album so I guess we know who Weezy thinks is the best producer! I wonder why Kanye wasn’t featured on the album….maybe Weezy was worried about being out shined; I mean Kanye did rip up the track when he spit on the Lollipop RMX. HMMM interesting…..I wonder if Kanye thought about that. The predominant theme of the album is how great Lil Wayne is (”3 Peat”, “Mr. Carter”, “Phone Home”, “Nothin On Me”, “Let The Beat Build)”, how he saved Hip Hop (”Dr. Carter”), how good he is with women (”Comfortable”, “Lollipop”, “Mrs. Officer”), and how rich he is (”A Milli”, “Got Money”, “La La”). Although these are all cool things to communicate, and even though Lil Wayne’s delivery is authentic and original and all that jazz……the envelope can still be pushed. In my personal opinion it has been pushed w/ the Graduation album, which raps about the truth in life vs. “I’m the best and I make the most money and get all women and that’s all that matters”; I guess in the latter Lil Wayne IS the BEST, and I can’t deny that, but there’s more out there and I’m not even hatin’. Tha Carter 3 does have a deep end though with “Tie My Hands”, “Shoot Me Down”, “Playin With Fire”, “Misunderstood” and the album just plain sounds ill and bumps super hard (if you like Weezy, which I do)!

I think in the end the album is a good one, and bumps hard, and is G, and Wayne didn’t let me down; I’ll play it when I want to be on some G shit. As far as being the best, none better, the end, period, game over; ……NO. It’s still up for grabs, and I’m still not convinced.

CHI TOWN STAND UP.

Here’s a few tracks that I like from the Tha Carter 3, even though I like em all (PRODUCTION IS CRAZY) except for “A Millie”, which is now annoying. BUT let me know what you all think of Tha Carter 3, either when it comes out June 10 or if you already got it now.

“Watchu ’bout bitch!?

Excuse my french emotion and my passion, but i wipe my heart on my sleeve like it’s the new fashion.

What are you asking? If i don’t have the answer, it’s probably on the web like I’m a damn Tarantula. But I know you don’t understand, cuz’ you thought Lil’ Wayne was Weezy, but Weezy is Wayne. “
