It was a huge disappointment when it first came out...well to me anyways because of how much classic material that ended up leaking. Those Carter III sessions had some of the best songs of his career. By the time Carter III finally came out, he had already shown signs of falling off and he did.

It still was a ok listenable album and was the last decent one he released.

exactly. Anyone who had been listening to hip hop for some time before Carter 3 knew it was trash on arrival. I always find it funny when Weezy stans force it as some sorta classic. It's cool. Time reveals all.

Just like it'll reveal that Wayne's entire discog is :trash: That realization may come in 2026, but it's gonna come.



nah man. it's just hype. Record labels are fantastic at this.

It's the same Twilight Zone I'm in when it comes to Kendrick's music. nikkas is swearing it's up there with Illmatic and his shyt is genius, and I'm thinking: :what: I wasn't born yesterday. I lived through the 50 Cent hype. I was in college when that GRODT came out. You can fool kids but you can't fool an adult.



Is this the same guy declaring TPAB being up there with Songs in A Key of Life? :mjlol:
:whoa: Hold up. I know you Coli nikkas hate Kendrick, but he's not making pop-rock influences trash, he's making good music.
I don't know about Illmatic level, but certainly AOTY level :whoa:

Oh.....what could've been :wow:





When I heard La La La, I was really feeling Lil Wayne as am MC.
One of the few times in the last decade or so that he has kept a continual theme throughout a song, a legitimate attempt at storytelling while flowing flawlessly over the production :wow:
