After multiple delays and leaks, Lil Wayne’s most anticipated album of 2007, and now 2008, “Tha Carter III” drops today in record stores and Wal-Mart major retailers. If you’re a real hip-hop fan, you’ve probably followed the album’s progress over the past year, checking out the leaked songs, downloading the mix-tapes and hearing Lil Wayne guest star on more than 50 singles. Read all about it on Wikipedia.
I picked up my copy of “Tha Carter III” at my local Easy Street Records during lunch. After a quick listen this afternoon, here are my initial reactions:
- The final track listing (comes as an insert in the case) includes an additional three songs. Too bad Lil Wayne couldn’t have thrown in the “Lollipop” remix with Kanye West, as good as “Lollipop” is, it’s starting to get tired, but the remix is hot!
- “Tie My Hands” featuring Robin Thicke might be my favorite song on the album. I liked their previous collaboration, “Shooter,” and this one is even better.
- “A Milli” has to be the most annoying song of the CD. It’s fucking awful. You’ll probably listen to it once and realize that’s more than enough times.
The rest of the album has cameos from T-Pain, Babyface, Jay-Z, Fabolous and others, as well as an all-star set of producers. We’ll have a full review once we get a chance to open up the album and let it bump outside of our headphones at work.

Depending on the in depth review I might ask you to pirate a copy for me.
I refuse to contribute money to the guy that made Lollipop.
damn you Lil Wayne! “Lollipop” needs to get the FUCK out of my head…I am way too white to be muttering, “Shorties wanna hump, you know I like to touch your lovely lady lumps.”
it’s hypnotic!
I have so much chips they call me hewlett packard
I have so much chips, you can have a bag if you are a snacker
I’ll do you guys a favor, it sucks. I listened to the album all day and it sucks. He has old songs from mixtapes on the album, he recycles old verses from mixtapes, the production is nothing to great, and ranging from Carter 1 to 3, his concepts are void, I’ll sum it up, he actually says, “I’m rare like Mr. Clean with hair.”
Nuff sed’
remix to lollipop is on the itunes version of the album
