Free Music Notes for Tha Carter IIIFree Music Review: it ain't perfect Hit: 5 Stars
Months after the release I have to say this cd ain't as good to me now as it was then and Nas's cd N**** is better and so is T.I's recent release.I rarely play this cd now and actually am more likely to play Da Drought 3, Like Father Like Son, or Tha Carter 2 before I put this one in.Below is the review I wrote on the week this was released.I still stand by what I said as far as those four songs now not 13 that were creative; the rest are good, good songs but nothing classical.
People hated Kobe too, but the best will shine.Hardest part for me was determining is this a classic or not since three songs on this cd are not good (Got Money, Comfortable, Mrs.Officer), but when I had to think about how many times I rewound like 13 songs over and over just out of sheer enjoyment I had to say yeah when most classics consist of 10songs or 13.This is true melodious art and lyrical gymnastics,& not something you've heard on your typical assembly line rap.
Most folk that don't like Weezy aren't from the South...well too bad for u suck it up and swallow deez in ya' mouth.And due to what I've heard over the years I have to say it's a classic for these times and yes for these times Weezy is artistically the best at rappping while flipping styles and riding beats with his voice and vocally catching singer's notes while rapping (he's sick when it comes to this).This really is his niche and because he's so much better at it than any, any other rapper it makes people that like this style of rapping (rapping while switching your voice, melodious tones, vocal creativity, intriguing choruses, punch line raps built on the flow riding the beat instead of first doing a rap and then attaching a beat behind it) think he is the best rapper out now.This talent makes his other deficiencies seem not so apparent to those who like him and those who are too young to know raps history.The biggest critique is when it comes to lyrics and content and probably word for word rhyming he is not even in the top 10.This is why when people like Jay or Andre3000 or even BunB feature with him he doesn't out shine them like Nas, Eminem, and Pac used to.Lyrically not in the same conversation as Chino XL, Immortal, Ghostface, Genius, Cube,Big Daddy Kane, Rakim,the list goes on.Some of these artists had weaknesses too, so like them he has his but quit the hating on true talent.It's like listening to Thriller and asking "where's the political content" like Marvin Gaye's What's Goin On. Bottom line to New Yorkers who basically don't like anything not N.Y. and only tolerate other rappers if you can say Method Man's Tical is a classic (which I consider it to be) where he basically doesn't talk about nothing then you should be able to see where Wayne's coming from artistically.Musically, he's like a young Method Man before he sold out and became lame.
How many artists sound like something you've already heard?Wayne is original for the most part, he has adopted some of his 10 styles to rapand Wayne does his own choruses and they sound like...music.If you can't respect the lack of meaningful lyrics you have to respect the artist and what he's doing musically--cause straight up it is rare.Just cause you don't like him doesn't mean he isn't doing something creative.I didn't like Jordan, but he is the undisputed GOAT.Wayne ain't near a GOAT, but when it comes to flow and riding beats he his probably number one or two.
