Tha Carter lll - Lil Wayne

Advantages: No bad tracks, great album!
Disadvantages: None

Weezy Didn't Kill It This Time

Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: He doesn't pay attention to rhyming on occasions

"Tha Carter III" is the latest album in the "Tha Carter..." series by Lil' Wayne, who has boosted his popularity over the past few years without releasing a solo album since 2005 by appearing on collaborations with just about everyone, not just rap, or even that and R&B, but these and pop as he collaborated with Natasha Beddingfield. Lil' Wayne never took a break from making music all through last year or the beginning of this, resulting in some material leaking. As the artist is so productive and is able to whip together tracks quickly, he decided to take advantage of what should be a negative situation by releasing "The Leak", using tracks which should have been found on "Tha Carter III", but as they had already been heard by a substantial audience, he may as well release the music offically to see how many haven't heard it ...

Review of Tha Carter III [ECD] - Lil Wayne

Lil' Wayne Tha Carter III

Advantages: Mainstream Album, Cover Is Cool Yet Weird
Disadvantages: Lyrically Weaker Than Previous Efforts

Lil' Wayne. Arguably the best rapper alive. This album was supposed to prove this point. If you are a hardcore Lil' Wayne fan i can't help but say you will disappointed by his latest effort in terms of lyrics you will prefer the carter II but in terms of overall ability, concepts and bars this is an amazing overall effort. The album opens with "3 Peat" which is not as fiery as an intro should be but the lyrics are hardcore. You get a mixture of songs on this album, but I believe his previous mixtape "Da Drought III" was a better overall effort. But if you are new to Lil' Wayne you will be amazed by such an album. You get an insight into soul through "Tie My Hands" with the legendary Robin Thicke a song which delves deeper into the real Lil Wayne. "Mrs Officer" features Bobby Valentino who serenades us with his melodious voice as Lil ...
