Album Description: Tha Carter III is the sixth studio album by rapper Lil Wayne and it is the final album in Tha Carter trilogy. Originally known as the youngest Hot Boy, Lil' Wayne has orchestrated a steady stream of hits. The New Orleans rapper began his long career with Cash Money as part of the Hot Boys, a popular late-'90s supergroup consisting of Juvenile, Turk, and B.G.
Amazon.com: Lil Wayne put out enough material in 2007 to inspire a Vibe magazine list of the 77 best Lil Wayne songs of that year alone. That level of output is the primary reason behind Tha Carter III's bumpy ride. The albums opens well with the appropriately boastful "3 Peat," followed by the symbolic torch-passing of "Mr. Carter," featuring Jay-Z. But nothing matches or exceeds that until the Swizz Beatz-produced lark "Dr. Carter" and the album's arguable high point "Phone Home." Framed by simple, bombastic beats from Cool & Dre, Lil Wayne argues in "Phone Home" that he's so far beyond the competition he's extra-terrestrial. Within that track comes a stellar example of how Weezy's reptilian flow can let an inspired aside such as "I'm rare, like Mr. Clean with hair" slip by almost unnoticed. But no artist this prolific can avoid dropping some duds amongst the winners. The disc's three monster hits sound silly ("Lollipop"), annoying ("A Milli"), and generally uninspired ("Got Money") when stacked up against the non-hits. David Banner's musical backing for "La La" provides the kind of brain-tickling inventiveness that Lil Wayne should always have in order to push his gift for verbal absurdity to greater heights. --Kris Kendall

gift This item, like so many others, was purchased as a gift for someone else, and I can rely only on the recipient's comments for my evaluation. He has said little, except that it arrived in satisfactory condition within the time expected. I cannot underrate this item, and a 4 out of 5 indicates only my lack of first-hand contact with the item received, not any dissatisfaction with the purchase, delivery, or quality of the item purchased.
Carter III is best Carter for Weezy so far For a major release this is definitely the best Carter that Weezy has done. Obviously all the tracks are mainstream made for the mass audience, however for real Weezy fans you are going to feel the DJ Drama Dedication series a whole lot more. Also another joint to cop is When the North and South Collide with Juelz Santana, although I believe this is hard to find.
I agree with the previous reviewer that if you been following Weezy's career and like what he did with Mannie Fresh then you should also check out Fresh's new artist The Show. He has a track called Morning that Weezy wanted ---but Fresh hooked up The Show with it and the track fire.
This album worth the buy ---need I say more it is Weezy who right now is on top of the game.
Tha Carter III This CD arrived new and in the plastic wrap...it was in great shape. Good buy!
Must Have for all Lil Wayne Fans Yeah, this is a good solid album and Lil Wayne on top of the game right now. All Wayne fans know that Mannie Fresh put Wayne on top and if u feel Wayne u have to also check out another Mannie Fresh artist he a young dude from N.O. called The Show and he on every Fresh beat jus like Wayne started. He supposed to have an album out called NO Business like Show Business - I'd insert the product link but it aint showing right now.
lil wayne- tha carter 3 i love this cd it has really good music on it and i would recommend anyone that likes rap to buy it
