At first, I was a little skeptical purchasing this CD because Lil' Wayne was my least favorite of the whole Cash Money Millionaires crew, and the rest of his crew weren't featured on that many songs. However, that view on Lil' Wayne has now changed, and I now am sure that Cash Money is here to stay. "Lights Out" is one of the best Cash Money CD's to date. Wayne shows a variety of styles and beats as he rhymes like Twista and then turn aroung and slow it down for a couple of other tracks. The beats are also tight as ever (aren't they always when Mannie Fresh is producin). Although he talks about most of the same things such as fancy cars, he focuses more on life in some of his other songs and getting through this crazy world. If your a fan, or if you've never really heard a Cash Money CD, still go pick this one up. You'll be impressed...

Here's the real scoop on Lil Wayne "Lights Out." The album is one of the best Cash Money albums to date. All of his songs is good but here are the songs that stand out and make the album the best:

1. Get Off The Corner - Kinda similar to Tha Block Is Hot but Get off Tha Corner I think is better. Nice background effects during the hook. This song will make you bop your head (10/10)

2. Hit U Up - Nice beat to the song. With the Hot Boyz in the song, it makes the song even more spectacular. Everyone who raps in the song does a good job. (8/10)

3. F**k Wit Me Now - One of my favorites. Lil Wayne makes you get up and dance a little. His lyrics will make you think more of Lil Wayne. He does good rapping in this song. (9/10)

4. Shine - This is another one of my best on this album. I listened to the song about 20 times before I went to the next song. I like the beat but some of the lyrics didn't go right with the beat but it's still a great song (10/10)

5. Jump Jiggy - A goo dance song for all you dancing freaks. The beat of a Spanish guitar. I danced to this song all the way through. Lil Wayne puts it down in this song (8/10)

6. Let's Go - What a song his is. The Big Tymers are the major MVP's in this song but Lil Wayne does his part in the song as well. I like the hook part with Baby and Lil Wayne. (8/10)

Those are the best songs on the album. The other songs are just either average or below average. The most poor song and the only poor song on the album is "Lil One" Nonetheless, I give this album 9/10, an A-. If you're a die hard Lil Wayne/CM fan, you should get this album. Also, get Young Turk's "Young And Thuggin" and Juvenile's "Project English" as well as Hot Boyz "Let 'Em Burn" Peace.

After an impressive debut CD, Lil Wayne is back for his second attempt with "Lights Out". Lil Wayne is always known as the character of Cash Money but on many of the releases that they have had, Lil Wayne is always there to give quality contributions. This was clearly evident, especially on the Big Tymers' CD " I Got That Work". On his 2nd disc, Lil Wayne shows a little maturity but he is still back to his tricks of old. Lil Wayne does a good job on this CD with the lyrics and Mannie Fresh always represents with the beats, although sometimes his beats can be repetitive. The 1st single, "Get Off The Corner", is definitely a tight track but you have to admit that it does remind you of the "Block Is Hot". The best moments on this CD, in my opinion, are the two tracks with The Hot Boys: "Hit U Up" and "Shine" are definitely classic Cash Money tracks. Lil Wayne doesn't let the boys outdue him either. This will have you waiting for the next Hot Boys CD, "Let 'Em Burn". Other noteworthy tracks are "Grown Man", "Lil One" w/Big Tymers, "On The Grind", and "Jump Jiggy". Though, I like "The Block Is Hot" a little better than "Lights Out", this is another winner for Cash Money Records. There is nothing groundbreaking on this CD. However, if you are a Cash Money fan, that isn't a bad thing. Also, check for Juvenile's "Project English" and Turk's debut CD in the Spring.

the new cd by lil wayne is a fresh type of cd for the members of his record label.it is not all about the cars and money but about the life of a thug.this cd has a very true and very powerful meaning behind the lyrics.i believe it is the best album the record label has put out in a long time.if u like his other work then i am certain u will like this project.

Contrary to popular belief, rappers from that dirty like Lil Wayne, Silkk the Shocker and even Maaster P are growing as artists, and improving. Some becoming even more intrguing than more talented artists like Jay-Z, Snoop, and Busta Rhymes, who refuse to cahnge. Lights Out features Wayne at his best, and showcases a variety of music.

2.Get of the Corner (8/10)-The hit, and typivcal catchy CM Hook

3.On the Grind (7/10)-While Wayne isn't the best lyracist, he maximizes his voice. In On the Grind, he varies his flow and voice to enject "life" into a tired topic of shippin' keys.

4.Hit It Up (6/10)-Cathcy, but suspect verses will have you waiting for the hook

5.Everything (5)-beat doesn't match wayne's voice, but lyrics about his father are sincere.

6....Wit Me Now(7)-Waynes double-time lyrics will have your adrenaline pumping, but its nothing innovative.

7.Lil One (3)-only truly bad song on the disc. Diolouge between Baby and Wayne is a old subject in hip-hop, and the beat is is to mellow for the subject.

8.Break Me Off (?)-CMR experiments with R&B sounding tune. Jury still out w/ me on this one.

10.Wish Ya Would (7)-Adequate cut, with solid beat

11.Grown Man(8)-Shows Waynes maturity. Talks about growing up and resonsibility while being famous. Wouldn't have found this on the last ablum

12.Shine (10)-Catchy as heck. If kids parents don't like rap, they'll still love this. What makes it good is the on & off beat, so it won't overwhelm new hip-hop fans

13.Jump Jiggy(10)-My summer anthem. Lyrics are monotonus, but its a cruisin' and festive beat and the catchy CMR chorus. Song has been in my head for 2 weeks.

14.Realize (8)- Sounds more like a No Limit cut, but the beat is tight.

15.The Blue (7)- I like this. CMR experiments with blues sound, and I'd like to see more experimentation from them in the future.

16.Let's Go (8)-Typical CMR

17. Biznite(7 1/2)- Tight beat by fresh, with catchy & funny hook

18.Act A A** (6)- Song that really bump in the ride, should be club hit

19. Best lyrical effort, despite tired subjects

Overall, this CMR album has the best and most creative beats. Even though wayne is improving, if your lookin' for inspiring lyrics, go see Talib Kweli or Nas. But Wayne can keep your attention with his voice But for the catchiest hooks ever, pic this up. Word of advise:don't but this for you kid if their easily influenced. I'm tired of seeing kids trying to be little Wayne, and the subject matter on ths disc will hardly steer thm in the right path.

This album is his best.... He is at his rawest form and with the best sound that I have heard from him in years....This album is really untoppable....The album makes everyone feel gangster and want to celebrate it....buy it-

Cash Money certainly has not fallen off. Lil Wayne's "Lights Out" is probably the best Cash Money CD released so far. Wayne is very mature for his young age. He tackles a lot of subjects on this album besides the usual money, drugs, and sex. Wayne also discusses life as a father, and the devastating loss of his own father. Wayne is very deep and should be taken seriously as an artist.

Stand out tracks include "Get Off the Corner", "Shine", "F*** With Me Now", "Break Me Off", and "Biznite". Nearly every beat on this album sounds fresh thanks to beat wizard, Mannie Fresh. Wayne has potential to be one of the top rappers in the entire game if he keeps up at this pace.

With two group albums and a solo under his belt, Lil Wayne returns with his sophomore effort, "Lights Out."

This album is just as good as debut. Productions solid for the most part and Wayne knows how to spit those hot 16's. Check it out if your a fan of Lil Wayne, Cash Money Records or The Hot Boys.

Waynes Lights out is a tight album. My personal favorite is Jump jiggy Jive. I dont kno wwhat kinda drugs mannie is on but he keeps lacin the clique. Jump Jiggy is a tropical jam tinged with a spanish guitar with about 5 different beats jammed into 1 song. Hell if u listen hard enuff u actually hear Waynes Voice samples in each verse sampled in the back in the place of where drums usually would be. Listen and u here ah ah ahaha, and mannie switches up the sequence every verse. This whole album is hot but u will pic favorites over other songs. Realized is hot,hit u up, shine, the whole album. Check it out

Lil' Wayne is big. So big that I can not even judge him without having self doubts. Forget about 1 out of 6. Anyway Little Wayne has an interesting persona. I think I like his CD.
