Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 23 out of 26
  2. Negative: 0 out of 26
  1. It's eclectic, eccentric and yes, essential.
  2. From the start you know this is no mixtape because it's clearer and more forceful. Every track attends to detail, with fun tricks like the chipmunk-chorused "Mr. Carter"'s sudden descent into screwed-and-chopped before Jay-Z comes in.
  3. Gifted MC loses the run of himself without Mannie Fresh.

    I was expecting good from Lil Wayne on this album considering the horrible guest appearences of him on various songs in the months prior to the release. On June 5th, a friend of mine sent me a link where I could download the album. I did, and after hearing 3 Peat and Mr. Carter I was amazed and decided that I would buy it in stores. After I bought it I thorougly listened to it and decided that this is the first album where I didn't have to skip any songs. Some might say the album did not have had a concept or a general idea but trust me it did. The general message was: All of these songs are the new Lil Wayne. Expand

    Ok, the album is entertaining, but lyrically it doesnt hold a candle to The Cool, American Gangster, or even Graduation. I'm not saying wayne is bad, he's got a lot of swagger but that doesn't correlate with talent! Both Kanye and Jay-z make wayne sound like an idiot on his own album. Both jay's verse on mr. carter and Kanye's verse on lollipop blow wayne out of the water. They are both just so much more creative and have a much better flow! Expand

  3. To start off, he doesn't actually rap once during this piece of sh*t album. He talks slowly and auto-tunes his voice so he doesn't sound like a retarded monkey, even though he ends up sounding like one. He should kill his dumbass manager who lets him continue making this music and then kill himself, that way nobody has to hear any of his new music. Expand
