If you could have picked the first single for Tha Carter III, what would you pick?

[Danny M]

In my opinion, I would pick "Lollipop" to be the first single.

I'd change "A Milli" from being a single too, but I know that also did well

[weezy f baby]

Lollipop

Instead of A Milli -

And also -

[RealLife]

I would have picked Lollipop... #1 on Billboard Hot 100, Grammy for Best Rap Song, 5 x Platinum and 10 x Platinum worldwide....

You cant replace that tbh

Yeah but dont know think if he never made that song, his career might have been different ? For example, he would still be making music on the lines of 2007-2008,

[KingEz514]

If anything I'd change songs like Mrs. Officer and Got Money as singles... Lollipop was perfect.

Says the dude who cried for VIP

As a troll, but u were serioous with this

[Aza]

Lollipop was best single for it, but I would have liked Dr. carter to be a single purely cause i think the video for that would be too dope.

In my opinion... Yah his career could have been different, he could have fallen off... because good rappers come and go imo.. but Lollipop played a role in making him a household name... Someone more influencial than just a good rapper. As much as i enjoyed music between 2005-2008.. he was already oversaturating hip hop with street mixtape music but still stagnant like Meek Millz. If he didn't show growth on C3, fans could have eventually lost interest and started complaining that he's not progressing as an artist.

That's my point of view.. sorry for the huge summary lol

[TyIquan]

Gotta go with Lollipop. I hate A Milli tho. Woulda changed that to Mr. Or Dr. Carter, Gossip, I'm Me, Love Me or Hate Me, La La La... He kinda needed something serious. Well not REALLY, but hey.

No your right that makes sense.

Because if he would have kept making the same music, we wouldn't know how truly great it was.
