After a very good sophomore album from the infamous Birdman Jr., Lil Wayne is back again. But this time, with an album that he hoped would outshine Juvenile's 400 Degreez. Some people call this album underrated, but while there is good content.. Most of this album is... Eh...
500 Degreez [2002]
01 - Fly Talkin' [No Rating]
02 - Look At Me [2.5/5] - Soooooo cheesy... "I gotcha girl doing a handstand" Not a great opening like the previous albums.
03 - Way Of Life (Feat. Big Tymers) [2/5] - A 2Pac sample that's been overdone with sleep inducing lyrics and a lame hook... This track had potential as a lead single... But it's just so cheesy...
04 - Big Tigger Live On The Radio [No Rating]
05 - Gangsta and Pimps (Feat. Baby) [4/5] - Horrid singing with a hilarious hook. I feel this is where the album starts to slightly pick up, but not by much.
06 - Lovely [3/5] - Boring production and lame lyrics... Nothing special...
07 - Gansta Shit (Feat. Petey Pablo) [4/5] - A solid track with a cool feature from Petey Pablo. I think this track is alright as far as lyrics and production are concerned.
08 - Big Tigger Live On The Radio [No Rating]
09 - Bloodline [3.5/5] - Very nice production and hook. Weezy talks about his bloodline and how he will be great because it's in his bloodline, nice concept.
10 - Where You At [5/5] - "It's young Weezy can't nothing see me dog. I get you done easy with one easy phone call. And the sawed off make your arms fall off, like a short sleeved polo, won't bother me no more. Ice like strobe light, look like I'm moving slo' mo', probaly look nice on low pro Yokahomas. With '20 inch chromes poking out 'em
Chrissy till the dome tote the ganja, redbone in the shower. Hello, Pocahontas give a long stroke poke for hours
Floating vagina oh I'ma holla!" The underrated second single from the album and one of the better tracks that shows Wayne's growth.
11 - Worry Me [4/5] - Wayne says that you can't worry him, he's doing his own thing. It has a nice hook and very good beat.
12 - 500 Degreez [1.5/5] - A straight attempt to diss Juvenile. Stolen beat, stolen flow and re-worded lyrics. I dislike this song a lot. Seriously Wayne, why do you do things like this?
13 - Go Hard [2/5] - Weak flow with Wayne attempting to brag about his ish that ends up sounding boring after a while.
14 - Young n Blues [3/5] - It's lyrically okay, but nothing that's gonna be remembered after the album, IMO.
15 - Believe That (Feat. Blaque and Mannie Fresh) [2/5] - Very uninteresting lyrics with a good beat that doesn't compliment the lyrics and hook.
16 - Rob Nice Live On The Radio [No Rating]
17 - Fuck You (Feat. Big Tymers) [2/5] - Funny hook with corny lyrics from the Old Tymers.
18 - What Does Life Mean To Me (Feat. TQ and Big Tymers) [2/5] - Cheesy song that I personally thought was going to have some kind of substance to... But it was short and boring...
19 - Get That Dough (Feat. Baby, Tateeze & Cristale) [3/5] - The features are okay but the production is... Meh... The album is coming to a slow, painful end.
20 - Fo Sheezy [2/5] - Not a good outro... Very flat and dull.
21 - Fly Talkin Go Home [No Rating]
Best tracks on the album:
1. Where You At
2. Worry Me
3. Gangstas and Pimps
4. Bloodline
5. Gangsta Shit
Overall: 45.5/80 [2.8/5] Half decent
The album had boring production, no good subject matter, and overall was just boring to listen to. Yes, it's underrated as far as some content. But, Lights Out, and even Tha Block is Hot has more memorable content and better lyrical content. But I can't judge. This was a very dark period for Cash Money. The Hot Boys broke up, they were getting very stale, and there were other issues too. So I can't say anything harsh about this LP. Wayne created a solid project. If you're a Lil Wayne fan, go ahead and add this to your collection. If you're looking to get into any of his content, I don't suggest starting with this album.
Next up is the first installment into Tha Carter series!

and i disagree with most of this, imo this is dope as fuck, and YoungN Blues is pretty rememberable.
