The most anticipated album release since Jay-Z American Gangster, Tha Carter 3 delivers. The album was originally set to be released in the earlier part of the year but as the story goes Lil Wayne got high in the studio after he completed the album and forgot it there. It then was accidentally picked up and sent out with the rest of the mixtape material. Rrrright! Wonder how much that person got for the leakage of latest album of the self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive". Anyway Wayne went back to work the very next week, all while working on a joint album with Juelz Santana entitled "I Can't Feel My Face" which has still never been released due to creative differences in the Dipset camp involving Juelz and Camron. Hopefully those differences get resolved and that album gets released because I was fortunate enough to hear a couple tracks off of the album and they are amazing.
-Tha Carter 3-
Lyrically this isn't a better album then Tha Carter 2 and I say this after listening to C3 for about a week now. A good friend of mine was able to get his hands on the official copy of the album a week before it was released and it was passed onto me. The reason why I think the C3 is a better all around album is because there are way more concepts than what he gave on the C2. The C3 feels more mature and well put together, while the C2 was just a lyrical onslaught. In my opinion the C2 is still his best album to date but the C3 is a hell of an album with production from Kanye West, Swiss Beats and David Banner. Features ranging from Bobby Valentino to Jay-Z help make this album a good contender for album of the year.
