It was a complete let down from the leaked version turned bootleg.

Yet a good outing. As far as salvaging the leaked version.
With alternative remakes of what was leaked.

Carter 3 leak was the last time Wayne was Wayne.

Once he got too deep into drugs and doing that I'm A Martian shyt, he was done. The Barry Bonds verse was ground zero


Weezy was washed as soon as it was definitive. That wayne wrote none of that shyt. Plus all the creative lead up. from the sqad era was all cap.

Bro, I vividly remember the summers of '07 and '08 getting into full blown arguments with nikkas about how mid Wayne was. Idk if nikkas realize how much of a minority you were back then if you felt that way, and I got called a hater so many times because I just didn't see the hype. Mind you, I was a MAJOR Carter 2 fan and spent A LOT of mornings walking to school listening to that album. I loved Wayne around that time, so it had nothing to with me not being a fan.

Something about those Dedication mixtapes really fried nikkas brains and made them believe he was better than he was, when he wasn't even spitting as hard as he was on the Carter albums. He was just saying shyt lol. I was breaking them shyts down in real time, pointing out how ass they were and nikkas couldn't take it.

The Wayne phenomenon was peak group thinking in Hip Hop lol

Facts so was i lol I was naming every ass line he was saying to nikkas most of them was whole verses of trash bars

Carter III got a pass simply because:

The album was leaked by DJ Chuck T out of revenge for Wayne dissing the DJs

There were still Wayne tracks getting leaked anyways so folks still want and brought the album off the strength of the singles alone. I remember when they had Wayne in rotation that whole Spring and Summer,


Compared to C4, C3 was better than that and I’m Not A Human Being.

Wayne was like that athlete who benefited from playing in a washed up era.

Fans were desperate for any kind of music and Carter 3 was overhyped by a lot of people.

That late 00s era was one of the worst era's in music history...PERIOD, not just in Hip Hop field. There was so much mediocrity and just lazy effort projects....and most of them aged like shyt.

I don't read those top something lists cause they suck most of the time, but I imagine if I tried finding one about top albums from 2008 of all genres, then Carter 3 would be somewhere at the top....cause really what albums do you remember from that year?

Resident coli cac here:

I hated lollipop when it dropped. I only checked out c3 because of his dope verse on "We Takin Over."

And aside from the lead single I thought the album was perfect. I think it was someone on sohh at the time that recommended I check out da drought 3 and dedications. I appreciate them for that cause they are certainly better.

shyt was the twilight zone. It was like trying to convince MAGA that trump ain't shyt.
Yea yall nikkas doing way too much now, Wayne's talent was solidified by the respect he received in the industry. Wayne legit might have the most peer respect in rap history but he's "mid"...yea that makes no sense. You're top 10 list has all hired wayne for features...damn near ALL OF THEM.....

The drought mixtape he dropped right before the album might of been almost as good as the album
That’s my favorite full project from him. I loved the whole thing! Played TF out of it when it dropped and I’m not a huge Wayne fan like that
