Lil' Wayne Album: “Tha Carter 2 [Edited]”

We all knew Lil' Wayne would be a hip-hop great when we hear Tha Carter, but Tha Carter 2 solidifies his greatness. He will be placed among greats such as Tupac, Biggie,Nas, and Jay-Z. His lyrics are off the f*ckin' chain, he has FLOW, I cant stress that enough. As for the beats, GOD, they fit the content well and are the best beats i've heard in a while. In comparison to Tha Carter, he stepped it up a few notches in every category. This album excels in every single category an album can be rated on.

I don't listen to that much southern hip-hip. It's not that I'm hatin', it's just a matter of preference. Hell, I'm the first to admit that the South has the rap-game on undisputed lockdown. I copped this Lil' Wayne album out of curiosity due to all of the high praises on this website. I must admit that I'm shocked at how tight this platter is - not only from a lyrical perspective, but the conceptual totality of the package. Weezy may have to replace "Lil" with "Big" because he has pushed his game to top-tier status. This is the type of album that takes a rapper to the next level. This is a clout album, a statement album, a mess with me now album. With this disc I put Weezy in the top-five category of active MC`s. There are numerous standout cuts on this disc, with a considerable amount of stylistic variance. Aside from a couple of skip-tracks, my only real beef is that there are a couple of cuts when Wayne sounds a bit like Jay-Z and Kanye, and style-biting is never-ever acceptable. In Wayne's case it's unneeded because his individual talent and style can stand alone. However, I offer him one bit of career advice - cut your hair, put on your shirt, and make real music money.

First of all...I'm here to review this album. Not waste time comparing the artist to other rappers. This is a very good Cd. It maybe as good as his first, or it may not be. It just depends on what kind of listner you are. The beats are well thought of, the lyrics are clever and have relevance to what the song title is. Carter 2 starts out fine and powerful and lets up a little at the end. But not to the point where it gets dull. Each song brings a new sound and doesn't get old. IF you're a Lil Wayne fan, this is for you...IF You're new to lil wayne this is a great Cd to have if you like good lyrics....IF you hate Lil Wayne... why the heck did you waste your time Buying/burning his CD and then waste even more time reviewing it on this site? Why are you even reading this review if you hate him?

Now to "rap" it up

-------------------------------------

Overall i think this album is one of the best I've heard for 2005. If you disagree with what i'm saying, fine then, say this review isn't helpful, I DON'T CARE. Some rappers like 50 cent may get better sales, but most turn commercial to do it while others keep it real. Lil wayne has always kept it real. As for "best rapper alive" I don't know... everyone has their own opinion. But i don't know why everyone is getting so worked up about him saying he's the best rapper alive! Every rapper thinks he's the best at what he does. Arrogance is one of the factors that drives rap music... So What? Big deal. Nobody is the best... there is only "smart,creative and confident" in rap music, nothing else.

I love this CD! I've been antici[ating it sonce I bought Tha Carter (the first one). My favorite song has to be Grown Man. These words are so real.

The new album Tha Carter II by Lil' Wayne aka Weezy F Baby is off tha hook !!!! The beats on the album are amazing, and his lyrics definately propel him to be known as a lyrical genius. No one thought Tha Carter I could be topped, but Wayne has done it, out-doing himself with Tha Carter II!!!!!
