You're probably clicking on this thread to see me review what was supposed to be Tha Carter III Sessions, but frankly, I don't have the time to review nearly 80 tracks. Now, you're probably saying "OMG!!! Where tha fack is da facking Reburf ravew!!! OMG! WTF BBQ?!" but I will be getting to working on the Rebirth review after I finish this review. I just remembered I had a request to review some tracks from Tha Carter III Sessions, so I'm gonna do just that. I'm gonna pick 12 of my personal favorites and give my opinions on those.
01 - I'm Me [5/5] - One of Wayne's best songs of all time that summarizes him perfectly. He's cheesy, funny, sometimes bad, most of the time good, and overall, a living legend. The production, hook and nostalgic sampling puts this song in my top ten of all time.
02 - Gossip [3.75/5] - Now, while I love Gossip, the studio version isn't really my cup of tea. I prefer the live version that he did years ago. Ya know, the one that made rappers piss their pants? It was a bit more passionate and intimidating, IMO.
03 - How You Like Me Now? (Kush) [5/5] - This track shows Wayne being goofy as hell. He talks about smoking purple kush, cars, and being himself. I find this track to be cheesy and classic at the same time.
04 - La La La [5/5] - IMO, this is Wayne's Hard Knock Life. They have similar vibes, childish sampling, and nostalgic story telling. I love this track, it's easily top 15 material. Originally, it was to be a single, but it got leaked...
05 - Pray to the Lord [5/5] - This song covers darker points in Wayne's life and his religious practices. I love the track, it has good meaning and storytelling.
06 - Something You Forgot [5/5] - This song is top 5 material. The storytelling and emotion behind this track make it a true classic.
07 - Trouble [5/5] - Wayne tells some dark stories in this track. The slower, depressing vibe from the track really makes me enjoy it, a lot.
08 - I Feel Like Dying [5/5] - Easily Wayne's darkest track of all time. Wayne laments about his addiction over a smooth, soft ballad with chipmunks in the background. This song always gets me depressed and makes me feel sorry for Wayne. And though drugs may have made him do some horrible things for his career and for his life, they do make Wayne, Wayne.
09 - Love Me or Hate Me [5/5] - An underrated track with a lot of substance. I love the epic production, the hook and the inspirational lyrics. Wayne really needs more tracks like this...
10 - A Milli (Original) (Feat. Cory Gunz) [5/5] - The original version of A Milli, with rapper Cory Gunz. While I love the final version, I do like Cory Gunz part in this version. But, I kinda prefer the final version, it's not as lengthy.
11 - Scarface [5/5] - Wayne compares himself to Scarface, which is interesting to say the least. It has nice production, good lyrics and it's a good metaphor.
12 - Pussy, Money, Weed [5/5] - Wayne does some interesting storytelling. I like the beat, slowness, and the
hook.
Best tracks on the album:
1. Something You Forgot
2. I'm Me
3. I Feel Like Dying
4. Trouble
5. Love Me or Hate Me
Overall: [58.75/60] Classic
This unofficial mixtape is what should have been Tha Carter III (or some of it) but it was leaked... But what can ya do? So, before I work on the Rebirth review, I would like to ask, what do you think Tha Carter III would look like if it weren't leaked? Like what would be the tracks on the album and in what order. And what are some of your favorite C3 sessions tracks?
Well, i'm gonna do some other things before I work on the Rebirth review, remember to answer my questions if you have time, and thanks for reading
