Review of Lil Wayne’s Dr. Carter

The track first off is sick; Swizz drops another heater reminding one of days of early hip hop tracks that used a easy bass and drum pattern. I can hear a variety of different MCs spitting over this track and Move n the Crowd (hint hint).

Wayne pulls together a track similiar to the way he did his first album taking you on a journey patient by patient and painting a story about what's going on drawing you further into the track. Question, where has this Wayne been? The recycling line yo its biting lol not recycling...lol just a word to the wise.

The first two verses were unexpected but here comes the final verse and here it comes back gushing fast and hard the weak side of Wayne. The cockiness that he has saved hip hop's life...nah not so much. If Wayne were to drop consistent flows similiar to the first two verses on a regular basis then I would say here is a ray of hope.

The delivery throughout the song was good, it made sense and was not a bunch of gibberish. He didn't just keep saying the same thing over and over and over again, but chill with the female references man. I mean its like in every song he has to let the world know he is straight; I mean stop kissing another man infront of the cameras and there will be no issues.

The track is ok but not overly impressed with it. On a scale of 5 meals I will give this a 3.5 as well. Pointing in the right direction but not greatness

Review of Lil Wayne’s Mr. Carter ft Jay-Z

Ok a friend of mine told me to check out these two tracks from Lil Wayne's The Carter III; this was the first track. The beat is sick but Wayne lost me with the school girl rambling at the beginning of the song. I understand he is thankful to be on a track with Jay-Z but still just be like "It's a honor"...or "Imma come with it thanks Jay..." something would of been better than that introduction.

On to the flow, he starts off ok reminiscent of his earlier days stringing together something that symbolized a decent flow. The second verse he came with it a bit to the point where I began to enjoy the track but he lost me with the last line of the song leading into Jay... why man that was unnecessary.

Jay drops in and pulls the track together like glue with a simplistic verse ending the verse by passing the torch to Wayne. Jay could of just unloaded on the track and washed out any thoughts of Wayne being talked about on this track (i.e. Renegade - Jay-Z ft Slim Shady... sorry man he came harder than Jay on this track and no one talks about Jay lol).

After the torch is passed another let down happened; Wayne comes out hard as hell with a light of inspiration then the last line is a let down. You not there man, you are not on their level yet no where close. Revert to the Carter I album days with lyrical flows that rival that of Andre 3000 (lyrically is the best thang out of the South and has never gotten respect for it... Give Outkast their Hip Hop Honors Hall of Fame Induction and stop bsing ... I digress) then you will be on pace to be mentioned in the same category.

All in all on a scale of 5 meals which is a full course I give the track a 3.5. He didn't overly disappoint but it was not great.
