Article 06/10/08 - Rolling Stone Overate Carter 3

Farai4 · 06-10-2008, 03:17 PM

4.5 out of 5
This is the same Mag that gave Get rich or die tryin 4 stars and same for eminems albums and also gave bustar's album 3.5

Aint that a bitch...anyway this is what they said about the album.

[[[OK, it's true: he really is the best rapper alive. Lil Wayne made that claim on his last official CD, in 2005, and since then, he's unleashed an astonishing torrent of mixtapes, leaks and guest appearances to back up the boast. So his long-anticipated "legit" album follow-up feels a bit gratuitous. Still, Tha Carter III is useful as an exclamation point. It establishes beyond a doubt that the zeitgeist in 2008 belongs to one artist: a dreadlocked dadaist poet from New Orleans with a bad weed habit and a voice like a bullfrog. As Wayne croaks in the woozy "3Peat," "Get on my level/You can't get on my level/You will need a space shuttle/Or a ladder that's forever."

Wayne has taken the task of album-making seriously: This isn't a mixtape, it's a suite of songs, paced and sequenced for maxaqimum impact. He's collected sleek, powerful beats from top producers (Kanye West, Swizz Beatz), enlisted A-list guest stars (Jay-Z, T-Pain) and served up a range of textures and moods, from the elegiac Hurricane Katrina protest "Tie My Hands" to the bubblegum bumper "Lollipop," in which Weezy has a laugh at selling out by creating the most outrageously pumped-up sellout single in history. Thematically, Carter III is a victory lap. In the hilarious "Dr Carter," he boasts about resuscitating hip-hop: "As I put the light down his throat/I can only see flow/His blood's starting to flow/His lungs starting to grow."

As usual, Wayne's tumbling freestyle rhymes are full of imagination and surprise, but his voice itself is half the fun. He shouts, gasps, tries a Caribbean patois, sings snatches of "Umbrella" and "Irreplaceable," and impersonates E.T. He loves that brother-from-another-planet stuff —"I am a Martian," he raps —but it's clear he's also thinking about his worldly legacy. The album cover links Carter III to Biggie's Ready to Die and Nas' Illmatic, and he makes no bones about coveting a spot in hip-hop's pantheon. "Next time you mention Pac, Biggie or Jay-Z/Don't forget Weezy Baby," he advises on "Mr Carter." It's sound advice. ]]]

True Ronald · 06-10-2008, 04:11 PM

biased thread title.

I agree with it but don't state your opinion in a thread no matter how widedly accepted it is.

Rolling stone aint even a hip hop magazine

Da Real Deal · 06-10-2008, 04:15 PM

WTF!!!! The same magazine that gave ILLMATIC 4 stars!!! And they give the Carter 3 4.5 stars!?!?!?!?!?!

THIS IS FUCKIN BULLSHIT!!!!!

Chitty 2 Bang · 06-10-2008, 04:15 PM

Tha Carter 3 is classic niggas...stop hating

YoUnG CaLi · 06-10-2008, 04:22 PM

Wow....look this is what the thing is about rollin stone...they are trying to get intact with the younger crowd. They are a old magazine and its fans are growing older. So in order for them to gain new fans they wanna cater 2 what's hot at the time....we all know the carter 3 is not 4.5 out 5...that obvious....a real hip hop mag would never do that....don't get all juiced its the fluke.....he had more than ill matic???that should be enough 4 ppl not to take this serious

LadyValentine · 06-10-2008, 04:28 PM

BornIntoThis · 06-10-2008, 05:14 PM

cater III=3/5

Farai4 · 06-10-2008, 05:39 PM

g-g-g-gg---unit!

jondoejondoe195 · 06-10-2008, 05:44 PM

lol.... there is no good place to really go for hip hop reviews!!!

I mean most people these days who listen to hip-hop barely know its orgins. I mean unless you understand a music styles orgins and what the point of it is and why it was started you can't properly critiic it.

Thats why I like 50, he is hip-hop through and through

Reddi Ree · 06-10-2008, 05:48 PM

U may not agree but every song on this album was hittin..
Only things that were really wrong was
1. From Nothin to Somethin...the beat old as hell

But da creativity was probly the greatest of all-time

1. Dr. Carter-How did he think of doin that
2. Phone Home-He made a song about bein a Martian...*fav song*
3. A Milli- It was Perfect...
4. Lollipop-He made a song about Lollipop...Not no soldja boy shit eitha

So Face It even tho u may believe dat it had alotta bad songz on it...Listen to "3 Peat", "Mr. Carter", "A Milli", "Phone Home", "Dr. Carter", "Tie My Hands", "Shoot Me Down", and "Playin Wit Fire"

Those songz especially Phone Home, A Milli, Mr. Carter and Dr. Carter...u really cant find a song out rite now that are betta
