Album reviews: Tha Carter III, by Lil' Wayne

Lil'Wayne had a tough time getting this one off the ground for the album was leaked in the early summer and the tracks have been available for download over the Internet since the leak. Surprisingly enough the tracks on the album have been tweaked added too and even in some cases, completely different than the tracks that wear leaked and have definitely made this album a must have especially if you got your hand on the leaked tracks.

The album also features four new tracks that were not leaked adding to the must have status of the album itself. Lil'Wayne employed some big time help on this album such as Kanye West, Scott Storch, The Runners, Timbaland, Mannie Fresh and will.i.am. He collaborates with some big names including Birdman, Enrique Iglesias, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, The Game, and more.

The most refreshing aspect about Lil'Wayne is even though he is a rapper, his style is not as rough ghetto as some of his competition. Light voiced and even has a little bit more of an acceptable approach to his lyrics he deffinately brings his own style to the table and even with some manners. Parents be advised, there are explicit lyrics on the album, not quite as much as your typical rap album but still, they are present and they are on almost every song.

The track "About You", use samples from "Owner of a Lonely Heart", which is a song i love. There is much more to this album and is worth going out and grabbing a copy if you enjoyed Lil'waynes previous works. The album is Lil'Waynes sixth studio release and will be sure to grab him some time on the airwaves. Below you will find the track listing for the album and hope that like Lil'Waynes new album as much as I have.
