This year's most anticipated Hip-Hop release finally made it to shelves this week, and Lil Wayne mania is in full swing. With the overwhelmingly anticipated Tha Carter III predicted to smash sales records, Dubcnn offers up our official review of the feverishly discussed release.
Tha Carter III receives the Dub Quotable: "A relaxed Wayne reacts by stressing matter-of-fact verses that advise lesser lyricists on what it takes to reach Hip-Hop's summit. When he's in the zone, no-one is more qualified to do so." Check out the full review to discover if we deem the album a future Hip-Hop classic:

wack review.
one paragraph on mr carter, one paragraph for comfortable, and another for dr. carter
quick one sentence mentions of lollipop, nothin on me and got money.
6/16 songs are mentioned. thats not even half the album. calls wayne "unrivaled". no mention of the horrible la la, phone home, or let the beat build.

Professional reviews rarely offer track-by-track breakdowns. They pick tracks that they feel best highlight their arguments. So, for example, when I cite Wayne as unrivaled, I point to "Dr. Carter" - a track that I feel is one of the strongest on the album and showcases Wayne's strengths as an MC. When I suggest that the album is uninspired in places, I point to the likes of "Nothin' On Me" and "Got Money" - tracks that could be lifted from just about any other major label Hip-Hop album of 2008.
All good though, homie. I appreciate the feedback, positive or negative. Thanks for taking the time to check.

I realize that proffessional reviews are rarely track by track, but you really don't get a feel for the album through this review. Things like how ethereal some of the production is (tie my hands/shoot me down/playin with fire) or how inconsistent the album is arent mentioned. I really think that it would be better if it was a bit longer and touched atleast on a few more tracks.

This is a well-written review, however I strongly disagree with the rating and reasons for why it was given.
“Mr. Wayne” seems a contrived attempt to create something epic. It’s the equivalent of an overlong CGI sequence that you find in too many of today’s Hollywood blockbusters.
Nice metaphor.
This prompts Wayne to dismantle the mock indifference of his first two verses, finally admitting to his ex, “I will never one, two, three, for-get about you.”
That was a quotable in your eyes? blaaaaaaaaaaaah...
Props tho, I always like to see real columns on the site.

fair review, even though I would have given it 3 or 3.5/5 8)

LOL!! First song I'm samplin is called "Comfortable". You call this hiphop? This doesn't even qualify as R&B. This is worse than NSync.

that joint was wack... was that his attempt to try to be deep? So let's analyze what he said....
He said that the "real criminals" are the tax offenders? This dude obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. The constitution gives the federal government no right to collect taxes. And this government (if limited to it's powers granted in the constitution) generates enough money to operate on nothing more than tariffs and excise taxes (excise taxes being taxes on goods considered vices, like cigarettes and alcohol). And it wasn't until the 20th century that the American government started ignoring the constitution and illegally taxing what American's earn. Some citizens still refuse to pay taxes these days and lawyers present the constitution as evidence in court and get their cases removed. Check out the video Freedom to Facism on youtube if you want to know more.
Then he disses Al Sharpton but offers Jesse Jackson as an example of great black leader? Jesse Jackson, when he was running for president totally wrote off the hip-hop community in the 80's and "criticized" (being critical is what he accused Sharpton of) hip-hop to win points with the white man. And this was at a time in the 80's when hip-hop was political conscious and was excited to try and promote a black man running for office.
So again, why is this song deep?

Come on man.. that was week, dude was trying to use statistics (ratio of black prisoners to white prisoners, etc.) to sound conscious and all that, if you won't to hear a real use of statistics on a conscious level over a track you should hear Mos Def's "Mathematics". Then come back and talk to me.

there was some tight beats on the cd, but i was hardly impressed
carter 2 was ten times better
some of the songs were plain annoying im sorry

dont be a dickrider.
i fucking hate this defense. just because I can't (or wont bother to) do better, doesn't mean I dont have a right to criticize

That's what I think too. Except for the "Im sorry" part, lol.

The problem with the review is the high rating. This shit is 1.5/5, if that. Every Lil Wayne song is garbage, and apparently so are his stupid fans who like him. Bad rapping, bad lyrics, bad production, bad flow, bad sound, bad concept. Not one good thing here. Lil Wayne and Kanye, and all those other mediocre rappers people love to dick ride should be killed. Simple as that. Maybe we'll get some good music being released if these guys finally get ignored.
