In Hindsight Tha Carter III Was Mediocre at Best

[EndDomination]

I can believe I've heard people try to claim this as a classic
There are really only three tolerable songs on this album
Lollipop played anywhere but a party
Mrs. Officer
Mr. Carter was carried by great production and Jigga
Who let p*ssy Monster even make the final cut
This album was fire when I was like 12 and saying "Lil Wayne is the greatest rapper of our generation" didn't sound retarded
I'd rather listen to No Ceilings on repeat than this waste of $9

 

[Champagne Kudo]

They put p*ssy Monster in place of Playin With Fire because of some lawsuit I think

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

No this is a classic

Still I prefer C2 and maybe even C1 but this had way too much influence and the necessary quality to not be deemed a classic

Mr. Carter
Comfortable
Dr. Carter
Phone Home
Tie My Hands
Let the Beat Build
You Ain't Got Nuthin'
Dontgetit

All super dope tracks

 

[boskey]

lol at hindsight...
This album was clearly trash compared to Carter 1 and Carter 2. It was obvious from jump but the hype was too strong...

Weee ooooh weee like a cop car

 

[Killalex]

I feel the same way, Carter 2 is a legit classic but III was always

Mr. Carter still gets play though

 

[Zero]

It didn't live up to 1 and 2 and by that point in his career, I was sick of him

 

[28 Gramz]

Hindsight??

shyt was average and a huge dissapointment from day 1..anybody who heard the leaks would tell you that.

Good production, but let's not pretend he didn't drop the ball on his verses.
Its like he spent the whole album rapping like he was in a cypher
Those poor beats
They deserved better treatment
That Phone Home chorus "PHONE HOME! Weezy. PHONE HOME! Weezy."

 

[Chris Cool]

yeah not even in hindsight.

"I'm rare like me clean with hair"
"imma do it again like nikka backwards"

the general consensus with everybody i knew was the album was meh and fab had the best verse in the thing. dude got outshined by every single guest.

I think Dr. Carter was well executed but you got a point about the other two, especially Comfortable. That was soulful as fukk and he didn't do it justice. Tie My Hands was aight tho.

 

[Lucky Me]

nah Carter III a classic and probably my fave Wayne album. It had so much variety imo, something for everyone.

"I'ma do it again like nikka backwards"

 

[wingstop]

yes, i thought this was common knowledge. Some people call it a classic though lol, then you ask them why and they just say "it sold a million first week"

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

It's more so classic because of the cultural impact revolving around it , Wanye was literally the most notable person in 2008. Quality wise some of the joints on there did age horribly , but if you were a pre-teen / teenager during that time , that era will always have sentimental value .

Carter II is more classic than Carter III if we're referring to quality and will always be Weezy Magnum Opus

 

[bordeaux]

it was a wack album then too. thought i was in the twilight zone hearing peoples reactions and reading reviews.
