Album Description
Cash Money/Universal Motown Records multi-platinum artist Lil Wayne is once again taking control of the airwaves and breaking records in both with "Lollipop," the first single from his highly anticipated album Tha Carter III. This is the biggest add week that a hip-hop artist has received at Rhythm Crossover and the biggest any artist has received at Urban Radio including Beyonce and Mariah. "Lollipop," is being well received at key radio stations across the country including: New York (Hot 97), Los Angeles (Power), Seattle (93 KUBE), Miami (99 Jamz), Philadelphia (Power 99), Atlanta (Hot 107) and Detroit (Hot 102). Lil Wayne's MySpace page received over a million unique views this week giving him the #1 Top Artist profile on the site. The video is currently in heavy rotation at MTV, MTV2, BET's Rap City and MTV Jams, where it appeared as the Jam Of The Week. The "Lollipop" video is also in medium rotation at MTV Hits and on BET's main playlist. Lil Wayne will also appear on BET's annual Spring Bling and will be only the 2nd artist in the event's history to perform for an entire episode! Since the release of his last CD, the platinum selling Tha Cater II, Lil Wayne has guest appearances on over 70 songs for other artists including Fat Joe's 2008 Grammy nominated single "Make It Rain," DJ Khaled's "We Taking Over," and Wyclef Jeans' "Sweetest Girl." He also released a duet CD with Bryan "Birdman" Williams titled Like Father, Like Son in 2006 which was a critical and commercial success.

 ~~*Changed My Views*~~ July 4, 2008
ok....when lil wayne was with hot boyz i liked him a lot...and then as he got more into the game i didnt like him that much at all.....people hyped him up too much and his rappin wasnt consistant enough for me......sometimes his stuff is hot and then other times it's some garbage....i must say though.....after listening to the carter 3 album it made me change my views on him as an artist.....i deffinately respect him more
 Stick to freestyle. July 4, 2008
Ok, so Wayne can freestyle. There is no argument there. Throw on a beat and Weezy can flow for days. However, is he really saying anything? Nope. He's basically a hip-hop Dr. Seuss. When it comes to actual songs and albums like Carter III, he just falls short. Maybe if people left Wayne out of the "best rapper alive" discussion, he wouldn't be so disappointing. He is a good artist, don't get me wrong, just nowhere near the best. This is most evident when you hear Wayne side by side with the true champ, Jay-Z. Jay absolutely puts him to shame on Mr. Carter. Overall, this cd was actually decent. It's his best since Lights Out. As an original Lil Wayne fan, I feel he has slipped since his Hot Boys days. He is trying to be too much like Jay. I blame Birdman. But, how can you blame these guys, they know how to cater to 15 year old girls, the ones who are actually buying their cd's. Money talks, right?
 I love you Wayne! July 3, 2008
First of all, God bless you Wayne. Congrats to you on your successes. This is a huge milestone for you, for your label and for hip hop. This is an excellent CD through and through. Everyone is not going to like everything and that's ok. Your bank account speaks favorably to those who do enjoy it. :) We have all these so-called, self-proclaimed music critics out here feeling like they have graduated with a PHD in music appreciation and they have come in here berating your work. Let them hate. If you had allowed negativity to hinder your progress, you would have been finished long ago. Furthermore, I don't think any of those with negative things to say have sold even 100 copies of any kind of musical production so... who cares? Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it well. Whether or not you are THE best... continue being YOUR best and I will keep enjoying your work and buying your music. Oh and again... this CD is amazing!!!!
 To the Point July 3, 2008
An album laced with overall great production is held back by a rapper trying too hard to stand out from his peers. Whole verses seem to spiral into verbal diarrhea until a hot line comes about from the sheer word count instead of a genius blessed with a gift for wordplay making a connection that the average person wouldn't. Most people call this method "Throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks." And even in instances where he gets off a "slick line," it is more in how says something than what's actually being said.
That's the album's biggest fault: It's a work in constant flux--his voice, word count, and intoxication levels. It's like AIDS, except Wayne's delivery and word choice mutates with the purpose of sounding as talented as he claims. This also makes things extra disappointing because he is talented. Even the best tracks on this album don't compare to tracks like Tha Mobb, Fly In, Fly Out, BM Jr., and scores of others.
Wayne's at his best on songs like I'm Me (Bonus), 3 Peat, Dr. Carter, and Mr. Carter where he seems to be properly motivated or where his denied perpetual intoxication doesn't hinder his talent. It's a shame the work ethic and talent that led to such a frenzied demand for his services has left DeWayne Carter a depleted shell, rambling over the hottest tracks until he hits a golden line that people can point to as hot where he once dropped entire gems (I Miss My Dogs, Block is Hot, and so forth).
Ok..not great. July 3, 2008
Tha Carter 3 wasn't that bad. It was way over-hyped though. Definetly not worthy of being considered by many "the most anticipated hip-hop album of all time". It has a few quality songs on it in my opinion. Some others are just not as good. Overall it's a decent production, no way near as good as Tha Carter 2 though.
