it seems i have the same opinion as Premo 

[Booz]

I just don't get it. How the fuck can Carter III be so high on everyones lists...someone explain what is so special.

Well some of the beats are innovative, some are pop, some are grimmy, some are juts good to bump.
The lyrics come off tight and wayne has a flow that is unique.
Production wise it is a well produced record the songs all mesh well together
the mixing is probably a hip hop reference now as it is very clear, bass thumps while kicks and snairs hit hard.

took some out and havent heard some but other than that aite list
