Rating: - Respect the change
Lets get one thing clear. I'm not a fan of mainstream hiphop, snap or any of the music out today. I am a huge fan of classic hiphop like NWA, NaS, Big L etc. I am also a firm believer that hiphop is dead. I think hiphop is supposed to change. Lets look back to when the chronic came out, several people said it was bad. The great rapper common even released a song called i used to love H.E.R. the whole song was about the direction of hiphop and how it was straying away from the more constructive hiphop of KRS 1 and Rakim but many say it was a change for the best. What I'm sayin is that is a change for the better. I'm not sayin snap or stuuf like that is good because there is no skill included. ... Read More

Lil Wayne is an average hip-hop artist. He is nothing amazing yet he is not terrible either. The problem with Tha Carter III is that it was so over-hyped. People were saying it was gonna be a classic and that his skills are up there with B.I.G., 2Pac, NaS, Jay-Z, Eminem. His skills are really not.

So this album finally drops and I pick it up. I have always enjoyed listening to his raps. I never thought he was God status but it was fun to listen too. I like the way his lines always compare one thing to another that is kinda out in left field. "I'm rare like Mr. Clean with hair." It's funny and fun to listen to. After it dropped a lot of people were suddenly hating on this album. ... Read More

With those words on the catchy "Phone Home" Weezy seperates himself from every other MC in the game. While I don't agree with his declaration of the best rapper alive, he certainly deserves praise for this album. The croaky voiced rapper uses everything in his arsenal to showcase his abilities. The best track is "Mr. Carter" featuring Jay-Z. The duo's previous collaboration, "Hello Brooklyn", had no place on American Gangster but this song stands out. Tie My Hands is another gem lyrically for Wayne on a beat that is much more calm than what we've come to expect from the New Orleans native. On it, he raps breifly about the aftermath of Katrina and this is when he shines as an MC. Dontgetit, ... Read More

Rating: - Turning To The Puppet Of Mtv
I had always liked Lil Wayne and had always loved his mixtapes such as Da Drought and Lights Out was a real good album. I took notice of Lil Wayne when he was a hot boy. Listening to him now compared to this cd was very interesting. He had changed his style so much so now he is of an MTV status which can consider him to be a "pop/rap" artist. I understand that h is trying to attract a wider audience base but seriously, I am so tired of people who don't even follow rap think he is the best rapper alive, as he says. They all base it off this album only and never even had heard any of his other stuff. this shows how tainted rap music is now these days. What Lil Wayne came out with the album was his big ...
