04 - Got Money (Feat. T-Pain) [2/5] - The overall decline of the album starts here, IMO. And while I don't completely hate Got Money, it's still pretty bad. This track was an obvious attempt at the pop Billboard, and it didn't fail to do so. But as an album track on a hip hop album, this track is a SKIPPPPPP! (For me atleast)
07 - Phone Home [2/5] - Another track where Wayne does some roleplaying. But this time, as a martian. So, Wayne's a rapper, lean sipping doctor of hip hop alien millionaire? Well... He is one of my favorite rappers... So... But on to the track. The hook is borderline wack to me. I find it funny and weird at the same time. The concept is interesting, but the lyrics and flow are... meh...
09 - Mrs. Officer (Feat. Bobby V & Kidd Kidd) [1.5/5] - Another hit aimed towards the female audience, and this one... Is... Ugh... I would like it more it the hook weren't annoying and most of the song wasn't hook. But, the concept is very interesting. Wayne does story telling about his experiences with him and a lady cop... It's both bizarre and intriguing.
12 - Lollipop (Feat. Static Major) [ .5/5] - Now, I could sit here and flame Lollipop for hours. But, it's as simple as this. I like when artists experiment and branch out, but this is just.... I consider Lollipop the sellout anthem of Lil Wayne and the anthem for all the new Lil Wayne stans. It's a horrible song as far as substance is concerned and before this song came out, it was very easy to defend Lil Wayne and back him up... But it's ish like this that make me despise C3... It's a horrible lead single with drug addled autotune, no rapping, and an infectious beat with barely any verses. It's a perfect pop hit, and reminds me of Outkast's Hey Ya. I hate Lollipop, and that's final. No changing my mind.
. A Milli is a classic song but I wouldn't give it a 5/5, maybe a 4. I don't like Comfortable so I'd give it a 2 tbh, but that's a biased opinion. I'd give Phone Home a 3, Shoot Me Down a 5, & Let The Beat Build a 3.
. they served their purpose, to build him a bigger fanbase and for that alone, the songs deserve a higher rating than what you gave them. when will people understand that mainstream is a huge part of the game. that's why i respect people who can successfully do both (lyricism and mainstream). that's why i do give the lil wayne's and the eminem's and kanye's a lot more respect than i give the mos def's etc. not enough diversity in their music IMO and that's why C3 was classic IMO, it had so much diversity.
