Product Description

CD Description
One of the more prolific rappers of his generation, Lil' Wayne has amassed a reputation as an influential and notoriouspresence on the US rap scene, a reputation bolstered by therelease of his third album in the 'Tha Carter' series (his sixth overall). 'Tha Carter III' is something of a progression from previous instalments which centred around events in the rapper's house, appearing to feature songs concerned with his own name (Carter is his surname). Featuring productioncredits from the likes of Kanye West, Robin Thicke and Swizz Beatz among others, this is a truly blockbusting release which fans will delight in exploring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a classic but close, 25 Jun 2008

By	Chize (London) - See all my reviews

I can't say i'm a die hard hip hop fan but i found myself listening to this album quite a lot recently. My problem with hip hop albums is that they all seem to be very similar. What distinguishes rap albums these days is if the rapper has a unique voice or style which i feel Lil Wayne possesses. He's got heavy weight producers on this album and i don't feel he let anyone down. He's very witty in songs such as Lollipop and the Let The Beat Build. The track with Robin Thicke - "Tie my hands" is very insightful and shows a rare side of the rapper which is very welcoming. 'Misunderstood' samples the same title track by Nina Simone and he pours his heart out with the prejudice in the States. He attacks Rev Al Sharpton on this track and i can understand where he's coming from due to recent attempts in the U.S to 'cancel' the 'N' word from hip hop artistes. Tracks like Mrs officer and 'Dr Carter' displays his creativity and word play
and the babyface featured 'Comfortable' can be deemed as a cheeky response to Beyonce's irreplacable. Mr Carter with Jay Z is a very good track with Lil Wayne displaying his word play again and the on form Jay Z does not dissapoint either. Some tracks are your usual hip hop tracks with no real substance or meaning but in an album with eighteen tracks and no skits, it's to be expected. All in all, in these days of repititive albums by people like 50cent, this is a welcome addition to the hip hop genre. Not a classic, but a damn good album

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Up For Lil Wayne, 26 Jun 2008

By	The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Summer would appear to have come at last to the home forest.
The air is warm and good. The canopy of new leaves above my
head is reassuringly fresh and green and the young rabbits are all looking plump and playful....
....but in the cool depths of Wolf Cave a darker spirit stirs.

Mrs Wolf has the hump again !

Perhaps spurred on by the fine weather her TIDY hormones
have once again gone into overdrive and today is a BLUE
pinafore day ! A day to be truly fearful !

She has been nagging me to get rid of my record
collection (around 7000 discs) for years.

"....you've got nearly everything duplicated in CD format,
I just don't understand why you're keeping them. They're just
gathering dust. We'd have room for a new fridge-freezer if it
wasn't for them."

I'm laying low and hoping that her mood will pass.

Reginald Squirrel dropped by for coffee earlier bringing with
him the new album by Lil Wayne 'Tha Carter III'.

He has the slightly overinflated belief that he has
single-handedly introduced the creatures of our woodland
community to hip hop.

He has taken to wearing extremely baggy jeans and a baseball cap,
has adopted a number of somewhat irritating hand movements and
occasionally calls me "Brutha" when emphasing particularly arcane
details in his latest musical enthusiasms.

His excitement about Mr Carter jnr's latest release is, in this
particular instance, entirely justified.

16 tracks and an additional weblink is a whole lotta music and my
attention has not wavered for an instant through four back-to-back
listenings so-far.

From the angry, swearey, opening track '3 Peat' (which certainly
gives celebrity chef Mr Ramsey a run for his money in the expletive stakes !) we might assume that we're in for a bumpy ride.

The mood begins to lighten a little, however, with 'Mr Carter', augmented
by Mr Jay-Z and two delightful chipmunks (I'm not kidding - Just Listen !)

The inspired and challenging lyrical content and sharp rhyming is
sustained throughout.

'A Milli' is a particularly fine poetic highpoint.

'Comfortable', is, with the assistance of Mr Babyface a light and bubbly
thing of beauty.

'Phone Home', with its' spooky-kookie B-Movie arrangement is an extraterrestrial delight.

'Tie My Hands, featuring the estimable Mr Thicke, balances a beautiful
melodic interlude with the machine-gun fire of Mr Carters stream of
consciousness.

'Mrs Officer' is a funky slice of pure summer delight.

'Let The Beat Build' and 'Shoot Me Down' both pack a powerful
emotional punch.

'Lollipop' is a good poppy track and nothing wrong with that.

Ms Simone's introduction to 'Dontgetit' opens the way to this
remarkable album's hard political heart.
A powerful and affecting masterpiece which will not leave him
misunderstood.

I'm grateful indeed to Brutha Squirrel for having introduced
me to this fine work and I recommend it to you, in turn, very highly.

....but back to reality and I have just seen Mrs Wolf flicking
her feather duster over my Joni Mitchell vinyl collection with
a slightly crazed look in her eye.

Perhaps I should try and butter her up with a gift....
....a new apron perhaps ?....a bunch of freshly picked wild flowers ?

....or maybe a couple of those plump little rabbits ? Hmmmm....

1.0 out of 5 stars What the hell is wrong with people?, 16 Jul 2008

By	Giordano Bruno (Rome, February 17, 1600) - See all my reviews

A powerful rich white man sits in his leather chair atop his huge music empire. Prising a Cuban cigar from his mouth, he smiles as he approaches the young black man that has just entered his office. The young black man awkwardly accepts the rich white man's offer of a handshake. The white man excitedly urges the young black man to sit down. His excitement increases upon the sight of the loose-fitting apparel and silver chain donned by the young black man.

"So how are you going to make us richer?" the powerful white man asks, aroused now as he notices a bullet scar on the left side of the young black man's neck.

"Well, I want my lyrics to inspire kids to stay clear of guns, drugs and violen..."

"Get out."

The next day, the same powerful, rich white man is smoking his cigar. Another young black man enters the building. Awkwardly dressed in a suit, the rich white man offers a less-than-enthusiastic handshake. The young black man seems uneasy with the gesture, but eventually unfolds his arms and reaches out his left hand. The rich white man surveys the black man, noting with dismay a lack of scars. He asks the same question as they both sit down.

"So how are you going to make us richer?"

The young black man thinks for awhile, before answering:

"Well, I want to rap about bitches and killing niggas and shi..."

"I'll have you on MTV this afternoon."

The sad fact is, record company execs do not want to distribute to the mainstream audience hip-hop that is thought-provoking and intelligent, free of violence, doused with hope. Those artists that do convey such a message are relegated to smaller labels or merely recieve limited exposure. The argument that they are simply supplying to the demand of their audience is not a valid one. These people have the power and influence to control what the audience demands. Were labels, radio and music-channels to continually expose the likes of Common, Immortal Technique, Lyrics Born, Atmosphere, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Nas etc. to the same extent that they do the likes of Soulja Boy or Lil Wayne, there is no doubt that the audience's demands would change.

Unfortunately, that is not, and possibly never will be, the case. Instead of offering young kids positive role models, inspiring aspirations that do not involve bitches, guns and violence, the people with the power continue to put their backing into illiterate dumb thugs. We don't want to see black people as intelligent and inspirational! No, we want them to continue appearing as violent and uneducated, as a threat to our society.

This guy Lil Wayne is just another example of this racist mechanism that continues to pump out mind-numbingly awful black musicians. He has the lyrical writing ability of a 5-year old; lines about bitches and not being "no homo" are constantly ended with swear words, such is his inability to rhyme properly. The generic Southern beats do nothing to set him apart from his equally-moronic peers Lil Jon and T-Pain. Yet, he recieves the exposure and all the hype. That this album could even be considered the finest of the year, a year in which sees Nas return to form with his incredible Unitled album, simply highlights how widespread this problem has become.

Hip-Hop is not dead. Behind the morons parading on TV with their bling-out teeth, intelligible lyrics and booty-shaking "ho's", there is a huge base of intelligent, conscious rappers. Hip-hop is alive and well; unfortunately those that continue to breathe new life into it are cast aside, labelled "left-field" and "underground", ignored by the powerful rich white people who define the demands of a dumbed-down generation. You can help however by ignoring this terrible artist and his ilk, and searching for the aforementioned talents that are so abundant within this genre. Good music does not have to remain underground.
