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.

Just for the sake of argument I will go sample a few tracks... be right back....

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.
