#LIL WAYNE THE CARTER 3 ALBUM PLUS#

5 - the 'classic' argument could be considered, but figuring out what to sacrifice from this high-grade jumble is difficult.

4 - just one of his mixtape series that made it to a Pt. Had he included another easy-access single like 'Rider' from The Drought Is Over, Pt. Tha Carter III is instead a surprisingly casual album that takes numerous listens to sort out, and only part of a puzzle that is scattered across mixtapes, guest shots, and Internet leaks. His 'best rapper alive' quote is discussed to death, but if that claim includes creating perfectly crafted full-lengths in a 2Pac style, the evidence won't be found here.

#LIL WAYNE THE CARTER 3 ALBUM PLUS#

There's his complete annihilation of the mixtape game, the ridiculous amount of guest shots he granted since Tha Carter II made him a hip-hop superstar, that photograph of him kissing his mentor, Birdman, rumors of addiction to the sizzurp, plus the gargantuan ego and aggravating aloofness (Wayne will ignore all incoming beefs and infuriate challengers even further by offering the lethal 'I don't listen to your records'). How Tha Carter III came to be 'the most anticipated rap album of 2008' is a story that involves the usual delays and promises of a masterpiece, plus a whole lot of bullet points that could only exist in the absurd world of Lil Wayne. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
