 Disappointment June 12, 2008
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
This album is such a disappointment. For waiting over a year to release C3, you'd think Lil Wayne would be able to put together an album of equal or greater product as Tha Carter II. Instead, Wayne has compiled an absolutely fantastic record of beats, then immediately ruins them by rapping over them. The one exception to this rule is "La La", which contains relatively good rhymes, but what must be the most annoying beat in hip-hop history. The entire album sounds extremely forced, like Wayne woke up two weeks before the release date and realized he needed to put something on wax.
"Let the Beat Build" is a perfect example of everything wrong with this album. The beat itself, produced by Kanye West, is incredible, and the hook is solid. Indeed, the first two verses remind you why we waited for this album for so long. However, with the third verse, it appears Wayne forgot to listen to the beat behind him, and, instead, ventures into a nonsensical, disappointing flow totally incorrect for the song.
Likewise, "You Ain't Got Nuthin'" provides the best example of how far Wayne has fallen. On his own album, Wayne is summarily outshined by Fabolous and Juelz Santana, who run laps around another unfocused and uninspired Weezy verse that takes no account of the actual beat behind him. For being the Best Rapper Alive, Wayne is about the fourth best rapper on his own album. That's sad.
The most tragic aspect of this album is that songs like "Comfortable," "Tie My Hands," and the first two verses of "Let the Beat Build" remind us the talent Wayne truly possesses. This mess of an album is clearly the result of a lack of effort, not a lack of talent. You might as well buy this album because everyone is going to have an opinion, and it is the most anticipated album in hip-hop in a very long time. However, don't expect to hear much worthwhile. You can thank Weezy F. for that.
 Over Rated Hot Boyz Lil Wayne Much Better June 24, 2008

Lil Wayne's new style's not hitting on nothing. No thought or anything put into a song. He had a couple good lines but not enough to be a good album. Only get 1 star from me.
Horrible August 23, 2008

Hard to listen to a person talk about absolutly nothing at all. I can take random words and put them together. Why are people's mind's posioned by this garbage. Just think you gave fifteen dollars to a person that should be cleaning the fry hopper at McDonalds. If I hear another rapper talk about his rims, money and THE CLUB I am going to scream! The south is crap, lets go back to people who make real rap like East Coast, West Coast and the Mid-West.
Harold Miner is back! June 12, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
Man, Harold Miner, the Baby Jordan of rap is back...and sub par as usual.
Out of all the tracks, he has like four that are worth playing. That is saying something for the alleged best rapper alive. Not one classic, and the songs are very sporadic. If he had a vision for this album, it was washed away with Katrina.
Got Money Mr. Carter ? August 4, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I wonder with, 2 Mill sold does my word count ???
I trully hope so because they "cant stop me even if they stopped me" the real smart words of Wayne himself.
There are 3 reasons for why this album is selling -
3. Marketing, Marketing and Marketing . . The music industries new face for sales as 50 is out and now Wayne is in .
2. All of the hype from the MixTapes being with his great lyrics and people are finally thinking HipHop could run thru the vains of a new rapper ? But actually that was the lie . . . . . Its just the smoke and mirrors, Mixtapes where CRAZY and flow was a little weak (id thought since the beats wernt his but dont worri . . . still good) . . but his album came . . . still same.
1. XXL - Most anticpated album for 07 . . . Also XXL one of the worst magazines ever made (only made big due to 50, Eminem and Dre all dissing THE SOURCE magazine)
XXL somehow gave the power aaaaaaaaall to Wayne single handlely with that ?
Then wayne said his whole! album was Leaked on the net so he would put that album out as a sale regardless calling it 'The Leak' ??
When it came to sell . . . ? only 4 songs for sale ??
Then took another year for his album to be realesed ? Listening to this album, it was because he still not have a BANGIN song yet produced AKA:Lollipop .
The final being is that i wouldve given this album at least 3 stars . . . but he has NO! rythm . . . and he's comparing himself Big and Pac ??
Then he makes funny noises like 'Haaa Haaaaaa' - A milli .
Then in a concert he walks around a screaming fan just staring - Check London Wayne Concert on youtube.
Wayne honestly thinks he's thug . . . thats the problem . But too many NON hiphopers (whiteboys who like too much of FloRida) will defend this crap album .
What ever happend to that hip hop made for bobbing your head in car ? This album does not have that material, it has the typical 'pass' album tracks .
Funky and New Trend song (new hiphop is always bout making a trend of somesort) - Lollipop
Song with one of the most powerful hiphop artists and mainly! praise him so you can be praised - Mr. Carter
Always at least a reeeeeal sad song so you can pass thru every genre of people instead of all 'club hits' - Tie My Hands
And still no head bobbing shhh but there is one Mrs. Officer (but as usual in new hip hop) they try an make it a 'Trend' by doing the 'WEEEEE O WEEEEEEE O WEEEE' . . .
Its like NaS explained, people ARE laughing at the blacks of today as they are turning into slaves again, slaves of whiteboys and just please the whiteboys an done deal .
3 Stars due to its a oooook album, but 2 due to how HUGE this album (all to marketing) has blown and when NaS's album is 10!!! times better.
Summarise: New Face, New Selling Tool and New Whiteboy Hip Hop
