Each track, beginning to end, contains its own story, explained and detailed here for your reading pleasure. For the purposes of this ranking, we stuck with the original tracklist and pretended the god-awful “Pussy Monster” (which replaced “Playing With Fire” on new pressings) doesn’t exist. While Wayne will be celebrating the 10th anniversary at Lil Weezyana Fest this August, we’re preceding that commemoration with one of our own: ranking the tracks on the Tha Carter III. With beats ranging from classic looped drums to spacey, weird alien music to a track once intended for the Shrek 3 soundtrack, the sounds on the album are strikingly different from those that were present in mid-2000s rap, and some of the lyrics are so out there and freeform that the bulk remain unexplained on Genius to this day. While the record is perhaps a few songs too long, it represents the solidification of Lil Wayne’s status as a hip-hop legend not only due to its album sales, but also to the artistry present throughout. Selling over a million copies in the first week (the first of any album following the rise of Napster, LimeWire, and iTunes, and the last rap record-excluding streams-to do so), combined with previously unreached heights of critical acclaim for Wayne’s work, bestowed instant classic status on Tha Carter III, setting it as a benchmark for success in rap. Carter,” Tha Carter III contains songs that not just are amongst Lil Wayne’s best and still slap ridiculously hard, but also ones that created a foundation for future artists to build on. From “Lollipop” to “A Milli” to “Let The Beat Build” to “Mr. Lyrics that have made Wayne the rapper he is today, he hits you so fast with the rhymes one is left hitting the person next to him saying "did you just hear that?!" Its what were used to, its Classic Wayne.It’s arguably Lil Wayne’s peak, the commercial and creative burst that the 2000s music industry needed, and the blueprint for most of modern rap.
And i believe the world will begin to notice him as a top tier rapper if they already haven't.Īfter taking a listen to 3-peat, this is the type of song where although no real message is given besides this being his 3rd release, the lyrics overpower anything else within the song. Not that he's not capable, anyone can see there is limitless talent with Wayne. As Lil wayne has consistently made a killing on the underground with his body of solid mixtapes, this leaves him short when it comes actual albums released. With Jay's body of work since 1994 on its hard not to put him at the top of the class when it comes to rhyming. The song was in essence the passing of the crown from Sean Carter to Dwayne Carter "Young Carter." But consistency is the one thing that differs these two artists. Wayne is given the first two verses and the lastone while Jay rhymes in the third one. Whether it was true jealousy or just an attempt to drag Hova down from his throne,we will never know. Not so long ago Wayne made many negative gestures towards Jay-Z after admitting previously that Jay had been his favorite rapper. This track was a long time in the making. Swizz Beats as the producer on this track, Wayne nails it lyrically, possibly making this song a milestone in Wayne's young Career. Carter is a track depicting Wayne himself as a doctor as he tries to save weak artists and at the end of the song succeeds in saving Hip Hop.
Carter, lyrically he has made the jump very few can claim. From his stint with the Hot Boyz to the track Dr. Lil Wayne - The Carter III (The Stolen Tracks Part 3) Submitted by hardb0dy on Fri, - 5:34pm. After listening to the album "The Carter III by Lil wayne" it seems that he's making music that true Hip Hop fans cannot ignore.Ĭreativity previous to 2003 was a word lost on Dwayne Michael Carter. In my lifetime, just Jay-Z and Nas are the two that create timeless lyrics. That's exactly how i measure the potential of an artist.
As we click the radio on and listen to whatever the hometown dj throws in there, we as people have lowered our standards in what we call "good music" when you start dancing to a song by DJ Unk or Lil Jon, after the song's over you have nothing left. The rap game would have a totally different outlook, maybe even the Entertainment business has a different look. Imagine a world where all the best rappers were still alive.Can't do it can ya? The likes of 2pac, Biggie, (maybe even Big L, look up that artist if you ever get the chance).
