Re: Listened to CIII in the car today..

I agree. You could hear Wayne's hunger in his voice to be the best rapper from his first album to C3. I mean songs like 3-Peat are just epic and show how talented of an artist Wayne is. Now it's all about money.. Seems like he's just rapping to get money and not because he wants to be the best rapper alive. Oh well, I still dig a lot of his tracks but I don't think he'll ever have that hunger in his voice again.

Re: Listened to CIII in the car today..

I now remember why I liked that album so much.

His hunger to be the best was amazing. The album itself is great if you take off Lollipop and Got Money, and add any CIII Sessions song.

IMO Wayne lost his drive to be the best after this album dropped. I see it as he was so close to the top, gained a shitload of fans and then lost all of his hunger.

This is not a troll thread or anything, I don't troll, I post my opinion. And IMO CIII was a great album besides for Lollipop and Got Money, them songs are expendable quality wise. I still like Waynes music, but I cannot get into his newer stuff, I have liked like 5-8 songs/verses that he has put out post prison. How To Love had a great subject matter, but I feel like Wayne shouldn't have been the artist to execute it, IMO he should of stuck to what he is good at, Raw Rap.

Just my opinion on Wayne. I know that no one cares, I just like making conversation on here.

naw if u take off Got Money, Comfortable, Mrs. Officer, La La, Playin Wit Fire, Shoot Me Down & Maybe Dr. Carter
Tha Carter III = Commercial Sell Out Album smh and to think i bought like 5-6 of them lol i was like yaw back den

Not Even Close To Being His Best Album.... Not Even Close

Playing With Fire? Shoot Me Down? Dr. Carter?

Re: Listened to CIII in the car today..

I can't even listen to that album now... don't like it tbh

Never liked it.

Disagree with OP, C3 was ass IMO.

It had a couple of gems like Dr.Carter and Mr>carter but overall he could have made it sooooooooo much better. I understand there was a lot of leaks but really didn't like it.

Re: Listened to CIII in the car today..

Unfortunately, all is not well in Wayne's world. What is truly unfortunate is how "Mr. Carter" underwhelms. The Lil Wayne/Jay-Z collaboration looks too good to be true on paper - and unfortunately it is. Both Wayne and Jay give solid performances, but neither take it to that next level as many would expect. One would also assume that T-Pain hopping aboard "Got Money" would equal instant success. That certainly is not the case. Both have put on stellar guest offerings in the past but don't seem to mesh well over the Play-n-Skillz production. Elsewhere, Kanye West and Deezle serve up a three course platter of beat building ready to be torn to shreds on "Let The Beat Build" but Wayne just doesn't seem to have the appetite to eat this track alive.

The album also gets lost in Wayne's spewing of gibberish throughout. On many of the songs Wayne bounds about aimlessly as he seems content with putting words together for the sake of putting them together. "Playing With Fire" finds Wayne all over the place lyrically and upon further inspection his rhymes don't make too much sense and it becomes easy to believe that he doesn't write any of his lyrics down. For further evidence of the often confusing ramblings, the sprawling (and aptly titled) "Don'tGetIt" flounders around for just under ten minutes and will leave even the biggest Weezy pole jockey dozing off during his misdirected rants and long winded clowning of Al Sharpton.

Of all the "WTF" moments on the album, "Mrs. Officer" is the definitive head scratcher as Wayne discusses sexing down female police officers. An awkward moment indeed. What makes "Mrs. Officer" a humongous flagrant foul is Bobby Valentino's mimicking of a police siren on the uninspiring hook. His claims of being a Martian on "Phone Home" aren't too far fetched, but the hook borders on becoming a bit strange. The claims of being "rare like Mr. Clean with hair" are clever, but the spaced out production of Cool & Dre, coupled with the awkward sci-fi hook, can be a bit much on the senses.

But with pulse pounding moments like "A Milli" pounced and ripped to shreds by Weezy, all is not lost on Tha Carter III. The expectations may have been set too high for Wayne as he too seems to have become lost in his own intoxicating cloud of hype. The blame could partially be put on the fans for magnifying the concept that Wayne can do no wrong because they salivate to fill the void that Jay-Z has left in the game. There is no doubt that Dwayne Carter is a talented artist who has the potential to become a king amongst peasants in the industry. But like Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill early in their careers, a premature crowning of being the next #23 can be equally damaging as it can be inspiring to a young career. Tha Carter III is flashes of brilliance surrounded by a number of rookie mistakes made by a young veteran of the game. Let's see what Wayne does when stuck under the microscope of criticism and continuous comparisons to the greatest artists of our time from here on out

Re: Listened to CIII in the car today..

Do you guys remember when Wayne performed "Gossip" at the BET AWARDS. I was in fucking awe, thats the Weezy we all came and loved. His voice when he performed that, that is when I knew, that's when i knew Wayne was gonna eat all these fuckin rappers, that hunger, that drive that he had. I really wish some rapper would kick him off the top, so he can climb again, and if someone does, we all know Wayne will go Super Saiyan on everybody motherfuckin rapper. SOMEONE KICK WEEZY OFF TOP SO WE CAN WATCH GREATNESS COME TO RISE AGAIN!!!!!
