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' Wayne re enacts getting pulled over by a female police officer. The best lyrical effort has to be "You Ain't Got Nuthin' On Me" Fabolous produces the best lyrics in my honest opinion.

In everyone's overall view, Tha Carter III fails to live up to the hype surrounded by Wayne many believe it lacked the normal concept of a memorable album such as Nas' Illmatic.
Positives that can be drawn from this are that it is certainly a mainstream album with tracks such as "Lollipop" & "Got Money" featuring Mr Vocoder himself T.Pain.
Their are only a handful of tracks i can say i really like out of the total 16 but you be the judge.
