2-1/2 stars -- "The best rapper alive"??? January 8, 2005 27 out of 51 found this review helpful
I quote an adlib that Lil' Wayne said on "Bring It Back", the twelfth track off his latest album, Tha Carter, because I really don't understand what would possess him to say something like that. Then again, some people may think I'M crazy, considering that most of the ratings for this album are four or five stars and then you turn around and see my two-and-a-half-star rating. But I'm sorry; I'm just not feeling this album.
I remember Wayne doing an interview with VIBE magazine stating that he is now married because he has gotten more mature. Well, maybe he has a different definition of "mature" than the rest of the world, because I don't think saying that is valid when you have a song on your new album called "H**s". But the rest of the album isn't very exciting either.
I mean, the album might have its standout in songs like...like...liiike...actually, there really aren't any standout tracks, or even memorable tracks. And yes, I did hear "Go DJ", but I think that song is overrated because I really listened to it and I discovered that he really isn't talking about anything. Actual subject matter isn't that great either, as evidenced by the aforementioned "H**s" and also "Tha Heat", where he discusses how he's going to shoot you. And "Cash Money Millionaires" goes nowhere.
When generic R&B crooners come aboard, things aren't much better. Reel (who?) fails to save songs with his hooks on "On My Own" and the self-explanatory "I Miss My Dawgs". "Earthquake" uses a terrible interpolation of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"; and by the way, I don't know why Al wasn't credited in the liner notes. There's also a lot of redundancy on the album. All the interludes sound exactly the same, as does Mannie Fresh's production for the most part (and he STILL does that "you are now listening to the incredible beats of Mannie Fre-Fre-(scratch)-Fre-Fre-Fresh" part).
It's bad enough for your album to be weak, but it's worse for your album to be weak AND too long. I mean, come on, Wayne...79 minutes? Tha Carter may be a hit for everybody in the South, but I don't think I'LL be playing it again.

Best rapper alive? HAHAHAHAHAHA September 19, 2004 12 out of 22 found this review helpful
Yea dont make me laugh, best rapper alive?? Yea f*cking right! First of all cash money is THE stupidest name for a rap group ever, even though it does accurately describe the greed and ignorance it spreads like a wildfire through its music. Though i hav to admit Lil Wayne IS the best rapper in cash money (which really doesnt say anything at all when u look at the competition). His lyrics are all about the 4 big things in commercial rap these days, (money, cars, women and jewlery). Man if Tupac, Big L and Biggie were still alive there wouldnt be clowns like this around. If you want to know the REAL best hip hop albums of '04 pick up Madvillainy, 4th Dimensional Rocketship Going Up, Viktor Vaughn 2 and Murs 3:16.
(Oh yea, and please click the "not helpful" button so i have an accurate count of the number of mainstream loving retards that read this, thanks).
4 1/2 stars WAYNE'S BEST ALBUM July 7, 2004 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
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)
NOT the best rapper alive June 30, 2004 6 out of 12 found this review helpful

Best Rapper Alive: No, Best Cash Money Rapper Alive: Yep August 8, 2004 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Before I get started on this review, do NOT mistaken "Tha Carter" as another Cash Money/Big Tymers type album where the lyrics are weak and the production is sub-par. This album is the best Cash Money album since probably "400 Degreez" and even "Lights Out". I will admit that I'm not a Cash Money fan but I will say that I had to get this album once I first listened to it. "Tha Carter" slaughters his last album "500 Degreez" because Lil Wayne has grown of age and has improved drastically between the time both albums came out. The album concept is about a building that Dwayne Carter claims he owns where he makes he profit and other things.
Lil Wayne introduces us to Tha Carter with the intro "Walk In" where he gives us a welcoming to the Carter building while rapping. The potential single "Go DJ" took me a while to grow into because Mannie Fresh talks through the beginning of the track which gives it less interest but Lil Wayne picks up the slacks and delievers big. Mannie Fresh appears again for the next track "This Is The Carter" which is a good track and Mannie delievers good production. The best track "BM J.R." is where Lil Wayne shines like never before. If it wasn't for Baby talking the same b/s on this song, this song who be a classic. Lil Wayne drops so many punchlines and he sounds clever while doing it (Ex: My N**** hungry he will eat the plate, and if I ask the homeboy will eat your face; And though he got me, you can ask I'm like a pool table, I keep the 8), (I Ain't Trippin N****, I play the corner like Ripken N****, With the .40 Cal Rip-Kin N****, Rip Ya N*****). The whole song is straight up fire. "On The Block #1" is a couple people talking about how they miss someone which sets it up for "I Miss My Dawgs". This song is the 2nd best on the album shere Lil Wayne gets real and leaves all the bling-bling, money and hoes alone to talk about he misses his Hot Boy comrads B.G., Turk and Juvenile. Reel drops a hot chorus and everything blends well. "We Don't" is a song that brings the album down and Baby shouldn't have been on most of these tracks because all he did was bring them down. "On My Own" is an OK track but I expected better. "Tha Heat" picks the album back up and Lil Weezy goes back to dropping hot rhymes. "Cash Money Millionaires" in another stand out but it talks about the usual money, hoez and drugz topic that Cash Money craves on. The interlude "Inside" goes inside of Tha Carter building. The 1st single "Bring It Back" is a song that features a dedication to fallen rapper Soulja Slim and how Wayne intends to bring the rap game to the Dirty South(Louisiana to be exact). Even though Mannie Fresh's hook has nothing to do with the song, it's still a good song. "Who Wanna" is another so-so track IMO, nothing too special. "On The Block #2" is another skit where people talk about gossip on the streets. "Get Down" features Baby where they address all haterz and those not about getting on their grind. "Snitch" is actually a pretty good track and Lil Wayne dropz fire. "Hoes" features Mannie Fresh which talks about the love of skandalous women. It's an acceptional party hit but nothing really to remember. The best production of the album comes on the track "Only Way". The beat reminds me of the old Cash Money and preferably "400 Degreez". There's a couple times where the beat stops and drops to an ILL drumline(listen to the song at 1:12 and you'll see what I mean). Baby actually drops a good chorus and Lil Wayne comes off hard. Jazze Pha stops by the drop the chorus for "Earthquake". I'm feeling that laid back track and the production is stellar. "Ain't That A B****" is another good track and leads Tha Carter to "Walk Out", the album closer.
If It wasn't for Mannie Fresh and Baby messing up some songs on the album with their outlandish talk, "Tha Carter" would be a contender for 2004's Best Rap Album of the Year. Do not overlook this album just because it's Cash Money. Lil Wayne is definitely not the best rapper alive but he's the hottest Cash Money artist out Fa Sheezy.
