Review: 3.5 out of 5
Best Songs: Got Money, Playin’ With Fire, Shoot Me Down
Saying this is the most highly anticipated album of the year is an understatement that other reviewers will likely use to describe Tha Carter 3. We prefer to say that most hip hop heads are just waiting for Lil Wayne to “show and prove”. After all the “Best Rapper Alive” talk, a series of East coast (Read: Jay-Z) influenced rhymes showcased on the mixtape circuit, a feud with Philly hood rapper Gillie, and making guest appearances on every single song in 2007/08, all eyes are on Weezy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he’s the GRA (Greatest Rapper Alive).
Although, this album is Lil Wayne’s best work to date, the main thing missing from this album is the fun. Since The Block is Hot to Wayne’s recent guest appearances Lil Wayne proved he could have the most fun on tracks, with Tha Carter 3, Wayne trades fun for serious. Unfortunately, this is the major draw back of this album, as Wayne tries to hard to force himself into the Holy Trinity of Hip Hop (Jay-Z/Nas, Biggie, and Tupac) by making sub-par serious tracks.
You see Lil Wayne has everything going for him, except a compelling life story. He’s been signed to a major label since he was 13, so his tales of struggle, drug dealing, and killing (note: 4 tear drop tats), are unbelievable. In other words, there is no narrative that people can identify with him, and his “kid rapper” story is analogous to Lil Bow Wow and Lil Romeo. Weezy’s dependence on performance enhancing drugs and the kind of sympathy he evokes for being addicted to sizzurp are classic symptoms of CB4its (a common disease affecting most rappers causing them to get into more trouble then they did prior to becoming a famous rapper). Now enough of the knit picking, check out the break down.
1. 3 Peat (Produced by Maestro)
This is a 2008 Birdman Jr and works poorly as an intro track. Wayne’s freestyle, although impressive with a few lines, fails to set the stage of what Tha Carter 3 is about. I was expecting to hear something huge like the intro on Jay-Z’s Dynasty album or Kanye’s Graduation.
2. Mr. Carter featuring Jay-Z (Produced by Infamous)
Lil Wayne and Jay-Z try to make up for the monstrosity that was Hello Brooklyn 2.0. Although this is a much better track, I still think Jay-Z and Lil Wayne make the odd couple. Also what’s with Lil Wayne ending the song with an old Jay-Z verse from Lucky Me? I know Weezy will say he’s paying homage, but the truth is he just discovered In My Lifetime Volume 1.
3. A Milli (Produced by Bangledesh)
This beat has to be the most annoying and easiest beat to make in the history of hip hop. I don’t have any proof but I’m sure the producer, Bangledesh (who has a cool name), just looped the “A Milli” sample in Fruity Loops and Wayne (who was probably high as hell when he heard it) spazzed out. Having said that, this song does grow on you.
4. Got Money featuring T-Pain (Produced by Play-n-Skillz)
Undoubtedly the hottest song on the album. This is Lil Wayne in his element, having fun, talking sh*t and going hyper active with the verses. This isn’t a serious lyrical miracle track that touches on today’s social issues (not that I expect Wayne to make such tracks), but it is a big mainstream song. The only thing I want to know is why get T-Pain on this, when you can just sing into the vocoder and get the same effect. It’s not like Lollipop needed T-Pain.
5. Comfortable (Produced by Kanye West)
A song we have all heard before which made me wonder why did this make the album? Why isn’t Lisa Marie on here? I read that Birdman and Slim picked out all the songs for this album so… And secondly, why get Kanye to produce an R&B track? I’m still not convinced Kanye can make a an R&B groove.
6. Dr. Carter (Produced by Swizz Beatz)
Lil Wayne gets his Ph.D on this one rhyming over what could be A Tribe Called Quest beat courtesy of Swizz Beats of all people. Wayne uses the concept of being a doctor to diagnose wack rappers constant lack of creativity and lack of passion in their songs. An original concept with great execution, Weezy gives something to us “real hip hop heads”.
7. Phone Home (Produced by Cool & Dre)
Expanding on the whole “I’m a Martian” lyric, Wayne spit a while back, Lil Wayne turns into E.T. and goes into lyrical beast mode on this one. Wayne goes hard here, making it one of the stand out tracks on the album. The song reminds me of a cross between Jay-Z’s Hola Hovito and Souljaboy’s Crank Dat.
8. Tie My Hands featuring Robin Thicke (Produced by Kanye West)
Building on the chemistry of Shooter, Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke wax philosophical over a Mr. West beat that sounds like it was meant for Common. This is the kind of song in Wayne’s catalogue where he goes into Maxwell mode, turning into a Neo-soul artist aiming for those college educated Black women. I see through it.
9. Mrs. Officer featuring Bobby Valentino (Produced by Deezle & Wyclef Jean)
Another fun song that could very well be the second or third single of the album. Lil Wayne discusses his encounters with a “Lady Cop” and the sex filled day that follows. I can already picture the video with some thick video vixen in a tight police uniform arresting Weezy. Also Bobby V comes through with enough swag to match Wayne’s.
10. Let the Beat Build (Produced by Kanye West and Deezle)
Even though Kanye’s sample chopping is a little awkward on the beat, this song could have been the intro to the album as it’s rather triumphant and “church like”. Though Lil Wayne’s verses turn into a Seinfield episode of sorts as Weezy really talks about nothing other than rapping about rap -which I hate with a passion. For example take this sentence, “Hey I’m a great writer, I can write thought provoking album reviews”.
11. Shoot Me Down featuring D.Smith (Produced by Kanye West)
The beat and the hook on this one sound like Lupe Fiasco is going to jump in at any moment and kill it. Unfortunately or fortunately, Lil Wayne comes through with a few abstract verses that compliment one of the best emo-rock hooks hip hop has ever heard. I love it!
12. Lollipop featuring Static Major (Produced by Deezle and Jim Jonsin)
One of the biggest songs of 2008 and my personal favorite song of the year as well. Even though Lil Wayne gets his T-Pain on, this song came so far out of left field that you have to give the man credit for being some what original. Wait didn’t Snoop do a whole song singing into the vocoder?
13. La La featuring Brisco and Busta Rhymes (Produced by David Banner)
When I first heard a snippet of this on the previews that were released a few weeks back, I thought this would be one of the craziest songs on the album. It reminds me of the type of songs Busta Rhymes used to make like Whoo-Ha. So it’s not surprising that Busta makes a strong showing spitting some of his most colorful rhymes to date. Let’s not forget Weezy’s impressive performance and my new favorite Southern rapper Brisco (this guys on everyone’s posse track) [Sidebar: Peep Brisco's verse on Birdman's album 5 Star Stunna].
14. Playin’ With Fire featuring Betty Wright (Produced by Streetrunners)
Getting Betty Wright to do the most passionate hook ever = +1 point already. Another certified banger on the album where Lil Wayne channels the Lil Wayne from Gossip, which probably isn’t a coincidence since the Streetrunners also produced that joint. Only disappointment with this track is that Wayne recycles a verse from the Empire mixtape “Tha Carter Sessions”. I hate when rappers re-use verses!
15. You Ain’t Got Nuthin featuring Fabolous & Juelz Santana (Produced by The Alchemist)
Who would have thought that Alchemist would do a beat for Lil Wayne? Weezy goes hard for that Eastcoast love by recruiting Fabolous and Juelz for this NY posse cut. Surprisingly ‘Loso gets off his lazy ass and gives us that ’99 Fabolous flow with better lines than he has on his album. And Juelz comes out of nowhere, with one of his best verses ever. If anything, Weezy lit a match under his peers because everyone spits fire on this one.
16. Don’t Get It (Produced by Will.I.Am)
I have no clue what Weezy is rappin’ about on this one. His handlers should have told him not to freestyle here. The only thing worth noting about this joint is the verbal abuse Al Sharpton suffers for a good two minutes during a Lil Wayne drug influenced soliloquy. Why Weezy went after Big Al, I do not know. I do agree with him though for the reason that Al Sharpton does not speak on behalf of Black people.
Even though this album didn’t (and couldn’t) live up to most people’s expectations, it should provide for some good car music for the next few weeks. Ultimately, the album disappoints because it’s lack of fun and cohesiveness as a full album. I won’t, however, hold my breath for Tha Carter 4. *Waits for Lil Wayne dickriders*

wtf got money is the hottest track? where the fuck is “tie my hands ” at ? lol, how can you say got money is the hottest?, then you sure aint talking about lyrical skills , “tie my hands ” is for sure the hottest on the album
c3 10/10
June 6th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I almost started to agree with you until you said Got Money is the hottest track on the album. Youre insane. The beat is average and cookie cutter, hes got t-pain on the hook and the lyrics are okay at best although his flow is pretty tight.
But come on.
I guess if youre looking for the track that follows the most trends for the moment, then that would be it.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
And Lollipop is your favorite song of the year?
Who the hell are you man?!?!?!
How can you like that trash!?
You must be a girl. You HAVE to be a girl
June 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I like the album…but you are TRIPPIN if you tink Got Money is the best track on the album….
June 6th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Haha naw dog I ain’t a girl. Lollipop is jokes in the club/car. It ain’t a serious song, it’s no Jesus Walks, but I highly doubt we are going to get any good intellectual hip hop on a mainstream level this year. Maybe Nas, Budden.
June 6th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
man you are so stupid, you actually think wayne freestyled on the first song???
Im sure….
June 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Your an idiot, Got money is the worst song on the album, probably the worst song ever made. Mr.Carter is fire, and that has to be one of the best collaborations that I have ever heard. Lil Wayne gets killed on “Nothing On Me” on with that fire beat on Playing with fire, he delivers stupid lyrics…This is a good album though, but not a classic
June 6th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
agree with Mack. The album is somewhere of 3- 3.5 not 4! Lollipop is the most f**g bullshit i ever heard But the worst is that this song has undisputable succes…(((
The most notable tracks r Dr. Carter and Playin’ With Fire on my opinion.
SO the worst of Carters trilogy.
Everything i need this year is DMX’s creation.
June 6th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Check this out pimp. im gonna keep it really simple for you. since thats obviously your mind state.
your opinion doesnt matter. it is completely irrelvant. And i say that because i know after reading thsi shit that im not theonly one taht thought you were out of your mind. simply put. you got written off after you said “Got Money” was the best track on the album.
I sincerly hope you get fired for this review, because im sure this isnt the only album you’ve slayed. I dont think its a classic neither but definetely better than what your saying. And thats coming from a REAL HipHopHead.
suck a fat one brah.
Now have a good day.
=)
June 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
i really love ur song lollipop
June 7th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I THINK TE ALBUM IS DIFFERENT FROM HIS OTHER STUFF , WHICH I THINK IS CAUSING AN UNREST AMONG HIS LOYAL SUPPORTERS .. BUT IF YOU TAKE A STEP BACK, WAYNES PERFORMANCE ON THIS ALBUM IS ARTISTIC AND SMOOTH…WHICH I THINK SHOWS A DIFFERENT SIDE TO HIM.WHICH IN MY OPINION IS INTERESTING..
I THINK IT IS A GREAT ALBUM AND A CLASSIC.
June 7th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
This album def doesn’t live up to a lotta the hype that accompanied it. Lollipop is def a tight song so i don’t know what y’all niggas is talkin about. got money was def a little misrepresented in this review. Kayne did a great job on the tracks he produced.
Wayne def went in a different direction than expected from his mixtapes.
June 8th, 2008 at 12:05 am
been listening to Wayne for a very long time and I have to say I am very impresee with this record. The thing that he brings to the table is unpredictability… And C3 delivers. The album is sick… The only thing it needs is Andre 3000 on ‘mrs officer’
Wayne delivers a CLASSIC here.
June 8th, 2008 at 12:53 am
shut da fuck up you dick heads tha best song is MILLI YOU DUM FUCKS
June 8th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
he recycled a bunch of verses… i herd the dr carter 1st verse a wile bak on a mixtape… the 1st verse to let the beat build was used on a radio station nd the intro he uses at concerts all the time
June 8th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
o my fucken god pleazzeee got money the best track…….shoot me down, mr carter, and tie my hands are the best songs …Got Money???? who the fuck are u
June 8th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Lollipop is your favorite song of the year? What the fuck are you, 12? You must really not appreciate Wayne’s creativity or charisma he brings to each track, especially since your favorite tracks are “Got Money” and “Lollipop.” You wrote a terrible review and I doubt you even really listen to hip hop.
-a “real hip hop head”
June 9th, 2008 at 2:56 am
This is a great review. right on point. While Wayne attempts to be considered the GRA the problem lies in this attempt..He’s trying…& it’s so obvious. Real Legends don’t try, they just be. They just are. & content wise this album is just a bunch of Pr0meth-infused random mumble jumbo… Weezy F, the effort is appreciated…But you are (as way of this album) NOT the GRA…Carter III is ambitious…C for effort at best….
June 9th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
this doesnt live up to any of the hype it got. def. not an album type rapper, stick to the mixtapes and it will be straight. the reason this is so big because everyone wants to know if he is the greatest ever and we def. know he is not. but he is up there and give the man doing the review a break its a review meaning his opinion. eveyone probably thinks different songs are the hottest on the album. OH YA and DMX sucks a big one where that came from i have no idea. good review but its a 3.5
June 9th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Well I been a wayne fan since BG true story. This kid has grown up in tha rap game and taking over Jay z gave him the crown in Mr Carter even kanye gave him props on lolliop remix look at his work 1. The Block is hot–ok
2.lights out—better
3. 500—he fell of on that one
4. Da carter—Classic
5. Da Carter 2— Classic
6. Da carter 3 –Differnt–Classic
Rappers must change their style to stay in the game look at LL Cool J even Jigga now you tell me WAYNE IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE. NEW ORLEANS FOR LIFE
June 10th, 2008 at 12:45 am
Haha
“DMX sucks a big one where that came from i have no idea”
Is Lil Wayne paying you stans?
June 10th, 2008 at 9:10 am
ok ok ok kids stop hatin’. this is most highly anticipated album of this year and it’s the best album so far by miles. it’s got dat classic album feel to it like carter 2. just face it dis is HOT so go and snap ya fingaz and clap ya hands coz none can do it like dis man (lol stop hatin’ and realize wot skill is).
June 10th, 2008 at 9:49 am
Weezy should have just stuck with all the hard tracks. He shouldn’t have put lolipop on it. By far the worst song in history of weezy. And by far You aint got Nutting got to be one of the hottest tracks on the cd. Juelz murders the beat and fab did his thing. Weezy got the worst verse in it but still toughest track
June 10th, 2008 at 11:02 am
For the record,if you were true wayne fans you would find a way to respect his album. Every song is ridiculous minus lollipop which he only made to draw in ignorant underappreciative white people who aren’t true fans. PLLEASEE DONTT SHOOOT MEE DOOWNN
June 10th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
The entire CD is fire….6 out of 5…anyone who hates on WAYNE should’ve been following his mixtapes since the post-carter 2 period. Understand his flow and respect the fact that he’s original…every track on this album is in one way or another unique and no other rapper can compete with him right now. My top 3 tracks….3 PEAT, Shoot Me down, You ain’t got nothin’ on me, and in close 4th…Let The Beat Build…kanye is much better when he keeps his mout shut HAAA
June 10th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
C3 is a classic. F*** anyone that says otherwise. I have listened to Lil’ Wayne since he started rapping. Tha Carter 1 and 2 were good but tha Carter 3 is the best. The best tracks are A milli and phone home. And for the hatin a** c*ck sucker that said Lil’ Wayne aint the best rapper alive and said he had to try. Dude u obviously do not listen to his music or rap for that fact. His freestyle is sick and his music is far beyond most rappers out here. He does not even have to try. He can get in a booth and spit fire every time. Alot of the shit he does he does not even write he comes up with on the top of his head and 10 out of 10 times it is hott. Most rappers cannot do that. So Fu** what you say Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive. And for the dude that wrote the review what the fu** were you thinking. Got Money the best track? What is wrong wit you. That song was the worst on the CD. It kind of sounds like a pop song. Yeah u must be a girl. Lil’ Wayne is one of the sickest rappers and freestylists out there.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
tha carter 3 is one of the best albums out period. Its it str8 hip hop. I understand that everyone will have an different opinion but my opinion is that wayne is the best rapper alive right now because who else is doing what he is.If you like him or not he is one of the best rappers alive period. Just give the man his props and if you are a true wayne fan you would go buy the album instead of gettin it of the internet…ya dig
June 10th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I agree with WeezyFbaby, the lollipop type song is something every rapper does just to sell more shit but you have to hate all the mainstream faggots that are obsessed with songs like lollipop and have never heard of da droughts or any of his other mixtapes.
June 10th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
brilliant lp considering the leak and every fire mixtape track on the drought is over mixtapes he uses less punchlines but at the same time pushes different styles on his tracks if u listen closely even the bars he spit relate to upcoming punchlines new style new standard step up artists wayne left yall in the dust.
June 11th, 2008 at 1:38 am
By far “Dr. Carter” is one of the sickest tracks on the album…”Got Money” are you serious with me right now…? T pain has a mustache tatoo on his finger you can’t take that cat seriously…who ever wrote that review needs to get a grip I’m starting to think you were drunk when you heard it to say some mess like that.Looks like Dr. Carter needs to do a little operating on you…
June 11th, 2008 at 4:16 am
Ok honestly i am the biggest jay z fan ever…but i have been a fan of lil wayne since since 8th grade and im now 22…ive seen lil way mature as i have…even tho he’s on that nose candy hard, I still love him…people need to stop comparing his albums to his mix tapes….lil wayne is crazy if you havent figured it out!!!!! a album is your ultimate work …hes not going to spazz on every song like everyone expects…the carter 3 is a nice polished peace of work. reasonable doubt is a classic and “aint no nigga†is not classic shit…im sorry…people keep saying this album is not a classic…define classic…i love real hip hop…to me commons album BE was a classic…the miseduaction of lauren hill classic…bluprint was a 4.5…i think tha carter 3 is a 4.75 he should have replaced la la with gossip…but the more i listen to it as soon as i doubt him…â€let the beat build†he just starts spittin fire..at the end of that song he flipped…and Shoot me down…being the wayne f=a true wayne fan you cant get lost in his metephors you have to listen past the punch lines to realize that his new self is talking to his old self its like t.i vs tip…ant the end of the song he says his gun is pointed at a mirror…..its that type of shit that puts him in the running for being the best rapper….i think i have just convinced my self this is a classic….i gotta give it to him every classic has tha excepeition tha song that could have been left off…its not that bad but compared to the rest it sucks…but if soldier boy put it out it would be a hit( ya feel me)….la la could have been left off…but dontgetit…..with the misunderstood beat…common had the better beat and a story line…but weezy had the better concept…..AL Sharton…he says what everybody else is thinkin…hes speaking the truth….as high as he is…..lol
June 11th, 2008 at 4:21 am
How the hell can Wayne be the best rapper alive… he wants to come out with an R&B album and said he was bigger than rap come on now… this cd is average… like 3 or 3.5/5 at the most…. Got Money is horrible along with the beat for La La lol… best songs are Mr Carter Dr Carter Tie My Hands and Nothin on Me b4 Waynes verse….
Just give you a couple shitty lines:
-I told her back it up like burrrb burrrb and I make that ass jump like jurrrb jurrrb
-Take that, naw better yet like Diddy, take that
-I’m wildn like Captial One, what is in yo wallet
-Get you 3-4 get you like the number after 1 imma get me 2???
-Hector camacho man randy savage better than average
-I told a tool box, bitch its hammer time
-I am legend and I will smith bitch, now thats how you let the beat build bitch…….
I could go on but I won’t don’t want the weezy dick suckers to have to hop off and get mad…
Hottest Line is the : Always use the Latex, cuz you don’t want that late text, that I think I’m late text….
But the main problem I had was wayne’s random rambling about so many different things never staying on topic and the worst comparing himself to MLK Jr.???? wtf?? a rapper who get caught with weed, x, said he was addicted to syrup and talking about gunplay all the time comparing what he’s doing with a preacher who made non violent speeches and marches to get black ppl to advance in society…. he’s bringin us back…. got white ppl thinkin thats how we act….. a fuckin shame…. but the album is cool… nothin like i expected tho
June 11th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
yo this album is not fire at all. i got a few strong songs, alot of luke warm songs, and some songs he had to be high as hell. A classic? Fuck no! Black Album is a classic. Graduation a classic. Illmatic a classic. This bullshit a dud. It could of been better. i think the hype made me have higher expectations but i felt like it wasnt met. the best song is not got money. who is this reviewer? ur on lil waynes dick cuz ur too bias. be real the album wasnt that good. its ok. 3/5
June 11th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Who gives a F!!!! Lil Wayne Can Suck My Mexican Balls!!!…Twice….WHACK!
June 11th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
This album was a ball of hype for reasons I still cannot understand. Sure, Wayne says a couple of hot lines here and there, but he is far from consistent. He’ll go from shooting guns to stepping on buildings in the same bar. Just that lack of connection and lack of storytelling is what knocks his ability down a couple of notches. Wayne tries too hard to be “serious” and as such, he throws out his fun flow to be something that he is not.
To even proclaim that this album is a classic and Wayne is the best is an insult to any living legend. There are two people that are still very much alive and spitting way hotter flames than Wayne.(Nas and Jay -Z.)
At best, this album is a 3.5. (Average)
There is really nothing that sets him apart from your 50 cent besides a different flow and a few extra metaphors. Wayne is overrated and for no good reason besides the fact that listeners these days have an ignorant ear and do not know what real lyrical ability is. Real talk, this album was far from a classic and it makes it worse that it came from a man who had the nerve to call himself the best when he’s barely walking.
June 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Damn, the Wayne Stans and Haters(and realists) have banded against each other. Should’ve thought twice YoRapper(even though we knew you had to give a review, P.S. did you ever give The Cool a review?)
June 12th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Mood Music 3 is way better than this album stop listening to the beat and listen to the lyrics u dont even have to buy u could download it Mood Music 3
June 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
“did you ever give The Cool a review?” Dathrowed 1
Nah that’s the only album I bump that I didn’t do a review for. Maybe, I’ll bang one out for the real heads.
June 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
And yes it’s royal rumble in here.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
To be brutally honest, This CD is not what I expected. In sales it’s a smash, but it’s horrible. Let the beat build and Playin wit Fire are pure heat. I get it Weezy is cool, he is the IT guy of this decade. The Best Rapper Alive is not a title he deserves. Although he may be creative and unique some of his lyrics are straight garbage. He used alot of his best material on all those mixtapes and features so now he has nothing to talk about. Best Rapper Alive my ASS! Jay-Z murdered his ass on Mr. Carter! I will give it to him though he has other rappers on their toes..making them come correct, hopefully that will bring hip hop out this funk.
June 13th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Yo i think that carter 3 is fire! wayne kills it lyrical, and his punchlines are sick! its not a classic, but its preety close. Weezy has inproved alot as a rapper since the first carter, only thing wrong with this album is that some of the beats are slack and album could’ve been a little longer. Other than that Carter 3 is a hot album. I must admit lil wanyne is best rapper in the game right now.
best tracks are shoot me down, a milli, let the best build, comfortable, Mr. Carter
June 13th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Carter 3 is 4-4.5 easily nothing less.
June 14th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I have to comment on this review by simply mimmicking that beer commercial;
Dude.
This album is ok at best, definitely not a classic, and anyone that says Wayne is better than Jay-Z is blasphemous. Weezy can’t be the GRA until he submits a classic CD and to date he has not. Jay-Z has a minimum of 3 classics and no other rapper can boast as many. By the way the song “Got Money” is the worst T-Pain collabo that I have ever heard and that is saying alot.
June 15th, 2008 at 11:13 am
no offence fam, but i think ur review is a bag a shit i dont even know where to start so i jus say overall its wank, da only thing i took out of it is dat da lucky me part
June 15th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Lil wayne= Greatest Rapper Alive
Yall niggas need to stop hatin and actually listen to what the young man is trying to deliver. In the year 2007 he made 12 million just off of features. obviously his peers agree that hes the hottest shit out. Tell me of any other rapper who has done what this young man has done. I agree that the album is different but after listening to it a couple of times everyone on this page is gonna be sucking his dick. And for whoever wrote the review you should be ashamed of your taste in good music because got money is not the best song on the record. And maybe lil wayne wouldnt have to put a song on his album that was on a mixtape if these dick jacking dj’s will stop leaking his shit. This man had to go back in the lab 4 times since the carter 2. Direct quote from weezy to these sucker ass dj’s “LET ME NUT”.
June 16th, 2008 at 5:20 am
Yo dude fo real, the game is chaging since i got on, I’ve been into hip hop since way back last summer when Crank that Travis barker remix came out (shit was fire). Fo real this dude stepped up all of hip hop, like being true here, i aint even listened to the album, i just listened to the 30 second preview on itunes, and its a classic, any reveiw less than a 4.86343 is is wack, Sorry Jay, Nas, Wu, Big, Pac, Fifty, Nelly, T-pain and Soljiah boi, but Wezzy baby is a better rapper than all y’all. Like Heres my complelte track by track review
3 peat- better intro than Finding forever
Mr. Carter- Cool concept cus its featuring jay z and jay’s last name is carter, like the name of wezzy’s album
A milli- D’Wayne takes a beat that was made by my little sister and turns it into a song, and by that I mean a real f’n song
Got Money- Looks like a second Lollypop!!!!!!
Comfortable- some sexy punchlines in this song
Dr. Carter – Wezzy gets his metaforest on here, and explains why he is going to save hip hop from when ness killed it
Phone home- Should have been replaced by lolly pop remix
Tie my hands- kinky
Mrs. officer- bobby adds a lot to this with the hook
Let the beat build -kinky
Shoot me down- this really is history in tha making
Lollipop- for all those true hip hop heads
la la- liked newcomer’s busta ryhmes verse, beat will wear on you though after playing it too much
Playing with fire- i cant even tell you what wezzy’s talking about here, so it must be good
You got nothing- why does he do these mixtape cuts, I mean hes so popular he doesn’t need this shit
Dont getit- Should have been replaced by another one of the lollypop remixes, or maybe a got money remix, with snoop and everlast on the hook
**Will the album cover make another shark niggas II track on OB4CLN**
***Will OB4CLN ever even come out***

c3 to me is a masterpiece. each song is different and unique in its own way.i think that the harsh reviews are coming from those who are incapable of excepting growth or change in ones art.although ‘got money’ is a catchy song and will probably get alot of club play,its the best song on the album. this is exactly what is wrong with the music today its all about how thug or hood you sound instead of how creative and different you make your music.alot of people hated on ‘the love below’ because it was different and the next thing you know its the album of the year.i thank weezy and all the other artist who dare to be different!
June 17th, 2008 at 9:36 am
yo carter 3 is deff. a classic u gotta listen to the cd more that once at first i didnt like it so much now i love it his flow is sick and every song he hit it hard even lollipop play that in the club and see if yall start dancing just as well as get money… this reveiw is wack tho its str8 bs he saying sum reall dumb stuff.. and yall say he recycled verses iight then let him do that it aint his fault that people put out the mixtapes without him wanting him too.. if yall heard his interveiw yall wud know how he feels aboutt hem mixtape dj’s but all in all carter 2 is a real classic that is really hardcore and carter 3 is a classic too hardcore and different ..respect the man for that he does!
June 17th, 2008 at 9:58 am
i have to say that this is the worst of all the carters and let the beat build and mr.carter are the best songs on the whole album
June 17th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Album is alright. nothing even close to expectations. At the end of the day there are several good songs, who cares what the best song is. Its not a classic, he is not the best rapper alive. He claims it and then comes out with this?
Bottom Line.
He talks a lot and says nothing. This was supposed to be a classic, but it lacks an overall feel to it. Illmatic, reasonable doubt, doggie style, ready to die, all eyez on me. (the real classics) all have this. More modern classics put out by kayne west and others have this feel, its just different. Wayne will never be on the same level as the greats because he lacks a defining album, and he never will compare lyricly. He has many hot songs, no great albums. period!
June 17th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
bigman45 knows whats up.
June 18th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Can dis album really b classified wit Illmatic, Cuban linx, liquid swords, Ready to die, All Eyez on Me, Reasonable Doubt, 36 Chambers, It IS NOT A CLASSIC BY ANY MEANS LISTEN TO HIP HOP AND A CD MUST NOT BE DEBATED TO JUSTIFY ITSELF AS A CLASSIC IT IS OBVIOUS TO ALL
June 18th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Hating ass! his shit sold over 1 million copies in the first week. Now try not to choke on those words you are eating!!!!
June 18th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Ok, I’ll clue all yall in real quick. Wayne’s gift (besides great mixtape verses) is his sound! He sounds like a little ass kid! Literally! He sounds like a little kid saying nasty/gangsta type shit. That’s what’s ill about hearing dude. So check this, it was never about how tight of a rapper he was (even though his mixtape lyrics are tight as hell), it’s been about his whole steez. The reviewer is right when he says that Wayne does not have a compelling life story to rap about. I don’t even think dude knows who he really is. His mom gave him up to Baby and Slim when he was waaaaay young. Rapping is actually all he knows. Since he’s not an L.L. type of spitter who just spits to spit hot shit and be the best rapper (even though he claims it) He wants to be fly more than be the best spitter, he can’t really make great albums unless he has one cohesive producer to get him to make about 60 cuts and then let the producer arrange the album for him. Probably Dr. Dre could put this project together and make it crazy. Other than that, you won’t be hearing a classic from this guy.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
YoRapper, I agree that this album is not anywhere what I expcted it to be. This guy LiL’Wayne needs to be consistant in his rhyming, he’ll say something that doesn’t make any sense, and then say something that does and people are like oh shit that niggas tight, GRA! n sh*t. I’m still trying to figure out what he was talkin about on “Don’t Get it” I gess that’s why it’s title that!…lol And I’ve been saying if for years this dude is nowhere the best rapper alive, especially when theres rappers like Mos Def n Talib Kweli still alive. I give him props for selling A Mili in one week and all but I think I’m about to go listen to the Roots’ new ish and be enlightened. Holla!
June 19th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
One more note just cuzz an album sells A milli records in one week doesn’t make a classic. It just means a million people went out to buy in because they were that curious in one week….no where close to Illmatic, or Ready to Die, or Aquemini for that matter. I like his new sound and direction and swag is off the hook, but in this game you need to make sense and have an overall theme on an album, which this one doesn’t…call me a hater but so be it.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
On the cool, I don’t have much to say about the album. But I must say that if the writer doesn’t understand the reason Weezy jumps on Al Sharpton, the man that basically said Hip-Hop ain’t about shit, then I really doubt he has the background or authority to analyze dudes lyrics. If you don’t understand what he’s talking about, then just maybe you shouldn’t judge. Just my view.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
yeah u tripin, as a complete album this is hands down a 5/5. Yeah his mixtapez may be a little more exciting, but those are mixtapes and this is the real thing. Anyone can do a remix to already popular songs (mixtapes) but an album shows true creativity and can not be judged in the same fashion. This is definatley up there with the greatest albums of all-time, or at least the most lyrical. Along with Kanye West’s Graduation and Jay’s American Gangster, The Carter 3 is one of the most memorable rap albums of the new millenium
June 20th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Wow some people need to get of the Weezy d*ck riding train…I think its been said on this site and i’mma say it again the dude says a whole lot with out saying anyting..but i’m feelin the sample from Nina Simone…
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:00 am
This album is garbage. Anyone who says this is the best album of the year is obviously someone who will listen to whatever crap is fed to them by the radio. Don’t disrespect NAS and Jay-z or any of the other rappers still living today by claiming this album is even close to as good as any of theirs. NAS first album is better than Waynes third…he has no talent.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:30 am
4 things:
1. only disappointment, and a big one – WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE NOT MATCHING intro, mid, outro tracks? they did a lot to unify carter I & II. add those, trash some garbage production (like milli) – it would have been the classic everybody wanted.
2. on track 1, wayne goes from a sick cadence to an even nastier one and drops 4 lines about moving his mom out of the ghetto. those 4 lines gave me goosebumps. setting and accomplishing a colossal goal with god-like confidence – that’s what dwanyne carter, and life in general, is about.
3. track 2 punctuates wayne’s dominance over hova. with a relatively small touch of his gift for the abstract, wayne simply dominates what is otherwise one of jay z’s more interesting (but of course still boring) versus. serious, introvertive rap died with 2pac. does his last line on this track, mean that jay z might finally lay down next to that poor horse carcass he’s been kicking?
4. track style is more varied than on any other rap album by any artist ever. i agree, sticking to his trademark of fun songs throughout woulda made a great album, but wayne proves here that he’s the only rapper who is virtually unlimited in style. so of course it will feel incoherent next to kanye and 50, who have very limited styles.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:29 am
WTF THIS GUY HAS SHIT TASTE GOT MONEY WAS THE SHITTEST TRACK ON ALL C3 CAME HARD STILL EWW GOT MONEY WAS THE ONLY CRAPPY TRACK THEIR
June 23rd, 2008 at 6:53 am
you’re “reviewing” his tracks as if you could do better. Get it together. Lil wayne is the best rapper out there. If he reuses a verse, big deal, he uses refers to alot of past songs in songs he has recently recorded. I give him props for everything on his album and everything else he does in life. This rapper is respectable. He’s got his education and takes care of his kid. He doesn’t rap about something that he doesn’t have, he raps these verses because they’re all true. I respect him for not droppin out and doing his thing, gettin his education. Realize what’s going on. Talk down on a rapper just because you don’t like him, and don’t even know about him? Don’t even give him the benefit of the doubt? Then you don’t deserve to be reviewing ANYTHING. Talk down on a rapper that deserves it, someone who’s a drop out, who doesn’t claim their children. Who cares how much money someone makes they need to have a good head on their damn shoulders! and lil wayne sure as hell does!
June 23rd, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Ive listened to Lil Wayne for years, this cd does not even compare to the Carter 2… every song is a hit an miss, wtf is w/ Phone HOme, the track is garbage he drinks to much syrup talks about nonsense you have to be so lifted to try to make sense of it…lollipop is terrible weezy sold out w/ the stupid ass techno voice…I loved his style from the tha carter to tha carter 2… tha carter 3 aka tha utter disappointment, aka weezy unsensical, aka syrup and wayne
June 24th, 2008 at 1:56 am
album is aight. the title GRA is meaningless, all the kings are either out of the game or done with that grinding, the closest is Andre3000. Wayne tried too hard to be original and that’s it. I’m feeling you ain’t got nuthin, tie my hands, and the two remixes that ain’t even on the album. Overall it’s a decent album, but not a classic, and whether he claims himself as GRA it doesn’t matter, the game isn’t what it was before, now it’s just shit, so fuck the title.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
hey bopeep I AGREE GOOD COMMENT I have the carter III and I have Plies new alubum and no one is on weezy f baby level
June 24th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I agree with this guy fully. When I got the Carter 3 I was expecting to lyrical, metaforical, hard shit, like his mixtapes. I think “A Millie”, “Mr. Carter, and “You Aint got Nuthin”, were the only tite tracks on the CD. I think that he made “Lollipop” for he ladies, so to all you niggas who are bumpin lollipop in your car, you lookin like homos. I still think Lil Wayne is hella hella tite. But the Carter 3 was hella hella NOT
June 24th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
AAHHAHA LMAO
your sooo dumb, got money is an ok song but not even close to being the best.
The best is a milli whether you agree or not
June 25th, 2008 at 3:39 am
Lil’ Wayne AKA Lil’ Wack is one of the hottest worst rappers of all time. Let’s break this down a bit. If he happened to be Asian, Latino, White or a Woman every magazine, television and radio station would laugh him off thte page or off the air. That is, if he/she would get any play. Do everyone a favor. Take one of his songs and print out the lyrics. Then read the lyrics. Actually, hand it to your favorite white dude that raps (everyone knows at least one) and have him go in front of a crowd and bust it. Guess what? It would be CORNY. Just like Lil’ Wayne is. Hasn’t his family been rich since he was 8? In 1992 CMR was selling hundreds of thousands of albums and in 1997 Cash Money signed a 30 Million dollar deal with Universal (Lil’ Wayne was 14). So what does Lil’ Wack know about hustlin’ in the streets and poverty and killin’ in the streets? NOTHING!!! He’s lived a pampered childhood. Why does he compare himself to the greatest rappers to ever live when he should be comparing himself to Tim Dog (look that one up)? Because he is a CLOWN and Hip Hop is turning into a circus! Lil’ Wack AKA Lil’ Wayne AKA Knows Lil’ Pain (but raps as if he has been in the struggle) shouldn’t be getting any airplay let alone a review on his wackest, I mean, latest album. He better thank his Daddy for setting him up with a deal-for-no-talent contract. Maybe that is why he is a grown man kissing his Daddy on the mouth.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
whoever wrote this review is WHACK. this album is FIRE. but come on man ‘got money’ as the hottest track???? it the the most average on the album. i smell a HATERRRRRRRRRRrrrr
June 26th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Lollipop = bullshit that comes after the best track and that I skip everytime when listening to the album.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:41 am
I love the whole cd actually. One of my favorite songs is Mrs. Officer because I love Bobby Valentino as an artist. Plus it’s kind of a sexual song.
June 29th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
3 peat is the best song I think. “Bounce right back on them bitches like magic, Abra-Kadabra, Im up like Viagra, I can do this shit for my click like Adam Sandler”. He killed that shit. Real rap. Overall the album is like a 3.75 to me. He did his thing regardless. I respect what the big homie is doin.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
LIL WAYNE IS TRULY THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE IM HIS #1 FAN AND THE WHOLE ALBUM IS HOT
TO YOUNG TO BE MRS CARTER
June 30th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Some of you people are just so ignorant I don’t know where to start. Whoever said Lil Wayne lived a pampered childhood obviously doesn’t know the first thing about him. He’s been pampered since he was 13 or 14, when he got signed, not his whole childhood. His family was not rich. He’s from Hollygrove, a working class neighborhood in New Orleans. “That Hollygrove boy from the 17th ward”…people should know this. As far as the album goes, no, it’s not a classic. It is a very good hip hop album, but Wayne’s best stuff remains on his mixtapes. He shouldn’t have re-done “A Milli”, the first version was much better. If so many tracks hadn’t been leaked this album might have been the classic many expected it to be. “I’m me”, “Gossip”, and “Kush”, would have been 3 of the best songs on the CD by far.
July 4th, 2008 at 5:09 am
nigga u don’t know what in the hell u talkin about wayne is gettin older and he is showin us that play time is over and grown man status is now….but it is an okay review though but not that good cause the wayne and t-pain album comin out is going 2 be hot as hell
July 6th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Lil wayne is the (BEST RAPPER ALIVE)i been tell people that wayne, been going hard since light outs.but,when he drop the carter 1,my city was bang it for months,carter2,that kill what ever was out.and the mixtapes,ooooooh the mixtapes i been bang the mixtape seen forever.it was like crack,i was fiend for i new mixtape,or new waynesong.i got no cd,that now wayne,fuck your favorite rapper,$bet $on$ wayne$,But now we get the carter 3 3p.The carter 3 1.5 million sales.Fuuuck you if you hateing on weezy.what 50 going say now?(HIP HOP ALIVE)fuck ringtone!! tell all these ringtone rapper to sale some album??

(remix)he kill it so bad.WHO? even remember mike??jone verson.
July 8th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
The last song is the most significant song even though there are no lyrics. Its the truest thing on the album. Other than that I like shoot me down, Dr. Carter, and Tie my hands. Lollipop is an overrated piece of trash.
July 10th, 2008 at 5:41 am
What is wrong with people these days. The Cater 3 is not a classic,no one will remember more than 3 or 4 songs from this album in 1 year i can name 7 right off my head from the Blueprint. Mr. Carter is the best song on this album and it might be the best collabo of the year depending on the 3rd and 4th quarters,Jay is already working on the new album,I hope its the BP 3. Lil Wayne the best? give me a couple more number one singles some top tens too and 4 more chart topping albums and we will talk. the roc boy is still the best alive
P.S. Hottest lines of the year.
1.Boom!!! the Roc boy in the Room
2.im been hated by the seasons, so fuck yall who hatin for no reason
3.I took so much change from this rap game that its your gold
4.Blind eyes could look at me and see the truth
one more thing
Jay Z = (Lil Wayne x 2) Jay Z Lil Wayne = A Hit record (Hello Brooklyn and Mr. Carter)
July 16th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
who ever reviewed the carter 3 does not even know or listen to wayne got money is not the beast track, its a good one wheres tie my hands, shoot me down, a mili, you aint got nothin, if he says got money shows wayne strengths he doesnt listen to his material his strength is his soul and passion in his music, i do like the carter 3, but the carter 2 in my opinion is better because it has more track and more verstile on the tracks and lyrically carter 2 one of best albums ever dont believe me go listen to that shit and every song closely, carter 3 could have been one of the best albums ever if wayne would have just held on to certain tracks instead of leaking them early
July 17th, 2008 at 5:11 am
I must say this was a very good album I’m sorry to you dick suckers who didn’t like it but then again who cares it must was somthing cuz you took the time out to listen to it the lyrics were tight I could relate to most of it the boy has got talent the song where he’s talking al gay sharp is misunderstood and listen to the words fools
July 17th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
How do people like wayne.. i’m still so very bewildered at this..
Duck Down >
July 19th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
The album is great but i wouldn’t say its a classic.
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm

July 30th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
whoever wrote this review, doesnt know what the fuck there talking about. “Got Money” & ” Lollipop” as the best songs;; nahh. “Shoot Me Down”, “Phone Home” & “Let the Beat build” are instant classics. Carter 3 was hot, but Weezy is hottest on his mixtape shit
July 30th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
I bet the person who wrote this review is from the north.
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:45 am

Maybe I’m lame for watching Deal or no Deal, but that sounds just like the beat from lolipop.
Maybe I’m not because Deezle and Jim Jonsin must have been looking at it too.

October 3rd, 2008 at 12:53 am
Mr. Carter is the hottest track ever. Wayne and Jay on the same track…not to mention that Wayne KILLED THE TRACK WAY MORE that Jay. Jay was good on the track’ but, its just the words that Wayne Puts together….Give this Album 5/5. Its a classic
October 3rd, 2008 at 3:02 pm
WEEZ FBABY IS THA BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:35 am
why do so many people hate when rappers change style or say songs suck i understand personal opinion but the fact of the matter is the style of rap of music in general is get money one way or another get money and Lil Wayne does that he gets money by using what he knows. Whether or not this is the best album? More than half of you guys prolly bought it so whether you like it or not you gave Lil Wayne money or maybe ignorance abounds and while everyone of you fight over the crumbs of discussion.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:17 am
lil wayne is the best rapper alive and always will be
October 14th, 2008 at 1:29 am
fuck the reviewer. how can he talk down on weezy’s album. Every track was fire and it is the best album of 2008. Fuck anybody who thinks otherwise.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:06 pm
6. Dr. Carter (Produced by Swizz Beatz)
that wasnt an original concept actually, xzibit did that whole doctor fix up wack rappers concept on speed of life album with saafir
October 30th, 2008 at 8:24 am
I think weezy got the bragging rights for the best rapper alive. he’s got the flavour at that young age with the most anticipated album sellin over a million a week. give it to weezy f baby…………..
November 9th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

November 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
This cat, has got to be the worst, rapper ever. Just Bull Shit, country & western fake Ass gangster rap.
December 10th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

December 12th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
what song did he re-use on playing with fire
December 18th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Wow! I bet you feel stupid now that this album sold the most copies of any this year. You better stick to listening to music in you your car, rather than reviewing albums!
January 8th, 2009 at 1:35 am
First of all the fact that lil wayne is being considered the greatest rapper alive is the most disrespectful thing in the history of hip hop, i mean if you talk about greatest of all time you will find obvious notourious BIG and Tupac then you get Nas, Jay Z,Rakim,KRS 1, Ice Cube, Eminem. So if its gonna be Greatest Alive automatically jus subtract Biggie and Pac then thats the list. Lil Wayne is not even on Lupe Fiasco’s level this review’s introduction is out of line already.
January 20th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
okay i agree lil wayne aint the best rapper alive, u kant pikk the greatest rapper alive. Every rapper got they own swag n they own flavor dey add to da game. But i do think we kan kall him one of the most original rappers alive! that bein said i am a weezy fan, i got everything frm when he was with 504 boys up ta da drought is over pt. 6 (whixh aint nothing but dedikation 3). sure weezy may repeat a few lines n sure he gonna drop sum trakks thatll make u skratxh ur head n say wat the fukk was he on. but he always always spits something that make niggas sit bakk n their seats like…damn. his kolaborations with others like dj khaled, keri hilson, kayne west, jay-z, n every one n they momma jus proves hes an original. niggas wudnt waste $100K jus 2 get him on their trakk(sinxe he dnt work 4 less) if he was garbage. The karter 3 was sweet asa bitxh, hands down. some songs up dere may not b klub bangers but his verses n tight and his metaphors r jus ill. get over it. and 2 whoever dat was who said da writer must b a gurl kuz they like lollipop, fukk u!!! ima gurl n like every1 else i loved lollipop n moved on when he kame out with shyt like pussy monster. so neone who says weezys wakk, he aint fukkn wakk, he jus original
January 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
lil wayne is the shit!!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
i think C3 is 4 out of 5.
February 8th, 2009 at 1:55 am
nigga who are u to be talkin all this shit. i dont see u on tv
February 12th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Tha Carter 3 was a good album…. He could possibly be a lot better if he collaberated more with artists like ‘the game’ or tried to collaberate with ‘nas’. He is no tupac or biggie but the album is not bad. I have lost interest in it as time has gone on. The best hip-hop album of 2008 has got to have been ‘LAX’ BY ‘the game’
April 9th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Lil Wayne is the most overated rapper of our time so far. Dude’s nothin special and his beats are even weaker. Listen to my album you’ll c what i mean. This album sucked dick jus as i thought it would. Independent music is where it’s at. Fuck Lil Weezie or whateva he calls himself
-Da most slept on artist in da industry
April 14th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
need harder verses
April 14th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
first of all im no fan.i like rap music.if u choose to make money off of music today u gotta make a certian kind of music so he get 4 mics. not a classic in todays time lookin for tht then buy lax but dr. carter was a classic song.
June 26th, 2009 at 2:28 am
Whoever made this is a straight HATER
August 7th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
it dont matter wayne whacc as fucc he fake as fucc anyway he a pussy
November 6th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Lil wayne is awesome… Tha carter iii was a smoking album and the 4th will be even better
June 8th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I thought Phone Hom’ was annoying as fuck, like A Milli. I thought the only good tracks were Tie My Hands and Dontgetit (mostly because he doesn’t rap). 3 Peat was decent, but only because it was the intro. I thought it DID set the stage for the album, mindless blabber about nothing but bragging, telling someone to suck his dick and a good quotable in the same 3 lines.
