Tha Carter II [PA] by Lil Wayne

Pros: Wayne shows more potential than before; production is greatly improved.
Cons: Subject matter is still redundant, and Wayne's lyricism is still less-than-stellar overall.

As it's been seen throughout history, emcees like to give themselves titles or nicknames to boast how they are above everybody else. Slick Rick always referred to himself as The Ruler; KRS-One was known as The Blastmaster (for his battle ...

Pros: Not convinced Wayne's got skills? This's probably the easiest place to start.
Cons: Weezy needs to tell his "pops" to stop rappin'.

Here's the thing -- I've had DJ Drama & Lil Wayne's Dedication 2 for a while now, and I've been tryin' to review it, but I can never finish it. I almost felt like just goin' "Wayne drops some hot freestyle-ish, punchline-heavy raps over a ...

Pros: incredible production, great charisma, Jay Z-Like swagger, good balance of bounce and substance
Cons: a couple of weak spots....though that could be a Pro, some filler

Man, what has gotten into the south lately? A region known for putting out mostly trash albums has had a very sucessful year as have most of the mainstream in general. After hearing Chamillionaires debut album i felt the year was his for southern ...

Pros: Very good production, Lil Wayne's improved lyrics, some deep tracks
Cons: Not much diversity of concepts, too long at 77 minutes, some bad production

I've always had a soft spot for Lil Wayne. From his sophomore album, Lights Out, to the mixtape albums he did with Sqad Up, to his solo mixtape career, I've been a pretty avid follower of his music. In terms of mainstream albums, though, he's been ...

Pros: amazing lyrics, good beats
Cons: Producer Yonny, some chorus sucks badly, No Mannie Fresh

Lil Wayne is an interesting artist. Some people love him for his swagger and his "Best Rapper Alive" attitude, and some people just can't stand him. I don't mind this as long as the artist can make music I enjoy. I have all of his albums except 500 ...

Pros: Consistant quality
Cons: A few unnecessary track

"Tha Carter II", from 2005 was the fifth abum from Lil' Wayne. I chose to go back with the artist as he came with one of the most anticipated albums this year with "Tha Carter II", and this obviously acted as the led-up tune to it. It was the second in ...

Pros: Wayne's Lyrics are top-notch as always,
Cons: mo fire, no mannie fresh

Lets talk about lil wayne. As for his albums, tha block is hot and lights out were both great albums imo, Ive listened to them many times and Ive still yet to get bored of it. 500 degreez was wayne's worst album, the songs, production everything was ...

Pros: A Few Outstanding Tracks
Cons: Some Less Than Stellar Tracks

Tha Carter II was when Lil Wayne was in the process of transitioning from stereotypical rapper, to lyricist extraordinaire. It is also probably most famous for being the time Lil Wayne first claimed he was the "Best Rapper Alive." The best tracks are ...

Pros: good beats & nice flow
Cons: i'm not feeling him, i respect the hustle though

a lot of hype is on lil' wayne right now. he is a very popular hook artist. on hooks he sounds alright but on his own do i feel him? NO!!! double no. lil' wayne has a nice flow but the problem is that he isn't really spitting anything i'd call quality writing. he seems to be a young jeezy or mike jones clone & has a big mouth but has nothing to say except he "owns the block". production here is slightly above dime a dozen. he is an ok hook artist though, but he won't be anything more.

Pros: Excellent production, lyrics and collaborations
Cons: Some times his lyrics are too cocky and repetitive.

I have been a fan of Lil Wayne for years and believe that he has matured lyrically as a rapper and a musician.Being able to listen to the album more than twice, its visible he had worked hard to achieve his status as a "Best rapper alive". His swagger and voice are intertwine together with the production, also his list of collaborations with top selling artists.

The Carter 2 is one of the albums that introduced Hip Hop scene to Southern Rap which has now dominated the airwaves.It is an album that motivates, inspires and also opens new era of the style Hip hop. Lil Wayne also brought a new lingo in his style of rapping as it is both entertaining and extravagant.

The album cover is appealing and photography is realistic and authentic.It looks as if it is quality of good marketing strategy to catch the consumers eye.
