THE WEEK IN REVIEW
COP IT JUNE 10th
Tha Carter III by Lil’ Wayne On the opening track of Lil’ Wayne’s long awaited Tha Carter III, he declares his dominance on the game despite the fact that his last aolo album was released three years ago. “3 Peat” is filled with punchlines highlighting his power in the Hip-Hop game, the cleverest of which refers to him “ball[ing] til we fall like tears.” After this very energetic intro, C3 includes a very diverse tracklisting that will suit any Lil’ Wayne fan’s taste. The only similarity between every track is amazing production. Aside from one or two songs with semi-lazy production, Young Money picked very good tracks to spit his usual non-sense. Lyrically, Wayne is on point on nearly every song, bringing cleverness and insight where many thought Weezy was incapable. From the street anthems like “A Milli” and “Got Money” to the swooning R&B inspired tracks like “Comfortable” and “Tie My Hands”, Mr. Carter’s lyrics are clever and well thought out (in most instances). “Dr. Carter” is the most lyrically complete track, where Lil’ Wayne acts as a doctor operating on Hip-Hop itself. The albums single, “Lollipop” almost gets lost among the other tracks, fitting in perfectly and becoming surprisingly less annoying when listened to in succession with the rest of the album. Overall, this is a very cohesive album that flows together very well and is enjoying to listen to. Lil’ Wanye might not be the next Nas or KRS-One but this album will definitely live up to the hype that has surrounded it for nearly three years. Favorite Tracks: “Mr. Carter” “Phone Home” “Tie My Hands”
