4.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 stars WAYNE'S BEST ALBUM, July 6, 2004

By	music/moviefan03 "John" (Warner Robins, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This was a very different sounding Lil Wayne. But I love it. He's left that sound that he came into the game with. Obviously he's older and his voice has changed but he has also changed his style of rap and it makes this album way better than it would've been 2 years ago.

Mannie Fresh did a pretty good job with the production on this album. but Wayne did an even better job at rapping over them beats!!!! If you werent a Lil Wayne fan previous to this album, I suggest you pick up this album and give it al listen, because its way better than his other albums

All the songs on this album are at least a 4 out of 5. That alone should explain how good this album is. Also go pick up that new Lloyd Banks album (Its hot!!! and look out for that new Young Buck--he rips it on that new Banks album)

4.0 out of 5 stars Lil Wayne - Tha Carter, August 13, 2005

By	ghjgk - See all my reviews

I've sort of followed Lil Wayne's career since his 'Lights Out' album and his days with the Cash Money Millionaires. I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of southern rap with the exception of a few artists, Lil Wayne being one of them. I'll have to admit, he's one of the better rappers out NOW. Don't get my words twisted, I'm not talking about all time, just right now. On the track "Bring It Back" at the end Lil Wayne chants the words, "best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired." To me that seems a little arrogant and I'm not a big fan of arrogant people.

The thing you got to like best about this album is the production. I think Mannie Fresh is one of the most underrated producers in the game right now. He made dope beats throughout this whole album and all of them will get your head bumpin. On most of the tracks Lil Weezy kills it with flow but doesn't stay consistent with it, some times it seems like he's just talking about not actually rapping. No real simple rhyme schemes which is always a good thing. A lot of bangers on this album but there's a couple of fillers that bring the album down. He could of done without tracks like "Earthquake" and "Ain't That A B****." For the most part, the choruses are good. My favorties are "I Miss My Dawgs," "Tha Heat" and "Bring It Back." This is by far Wayne's best effort in my opinion and I'm really looking foward to "Tha Carter 2," that should be hot. My personal favorite track is "I Miss My Dawgs."

I would suggest this album to southern rap fans and commercial rap fans in general. Let me put it this way, if you like the Cash Money Millionaires then you'll like this album. The content is the same as always and I bet it'll never change.
