[Siqnih Da Trapper]

[Siqnih Da Trapper]

Man that dude was inspired by Jay z on C1 u can easily hear the influence in his raps y'all kills me with this gillie shit

 

[SELASI_i]

Can't say I cosign a lot of the shit he says and does but Wayne been one of my favorite rappers since the hot boys. He was on top of his shit just spittin around the C2 era.

 

[5th Letter]

Sion did tears fall down your cheeks as you typed all that bruh? Lol.

Two things I have come to realize ...

Wayne is different, and "real" hip hop fans can't see past that

Wayne is from the NO and he came up under the Hot Boyz. He is not from the Mecca. He ain't from the west coast. He didn't come up around Big Ls, Bigs, Pacs, UGKs etc.

So why would he fit the mold of these type of emcees?

...Rap like them, paint the same stories, have the same flow etc?

He wouldn't

Doesent mean he isn't great.

He is also a very different cat...

Dude is kind of eccentric and strange. The way he'll laugh on a track and record songs that are "way out there" or "not safe" can be off-putting if you looking for the "traditional MC".

He has also done some questionable, and very "un-cool" shit in his personal life... And he loses points for that too

But none of that means his shit isn't dope...

Flow, presence, versality, lyrical gymnastics.

He's one of the best to ever do it, period.

The Carter 3 is much better than most give it credit for

It would literally be a modern classic if it weren't for a few missteps.

C3 has a lot of great songs and a few exceptional ones. But "Phone Home" and "Got Money" are blemishes that are difficult to forgive.

The album seriously lacks cohesion, which is fine for any old album but not for anything labeled a classic.

It is just too commercial for most, myself included. I get he wanted his payday and he got it... But he somewhat sacrificed the quality of that album to get it.

Aiight RANT/

Carter 3 didn't have that fly in fly out shit cuz that was suppose to be a milli. But that song blew up lol

 

[Peace_79]

Listened to a Mili yesterday for the first time in years.

Bruh, that track in the whip >>>>

His lyrics and flow were perfect for that song.

Carter 3 didn't have that fly in fly out shit cuz that was suppose to be a milli. But that song blew up lol

well he should've named the album something else. He had a pretty dope formula with the first two installments. Some of his best bars were spit on the fly in/out interludes.

Im'a just post the entire verse. I couldnt even decide which part to cut and paste. This whole shit is fiyah

So you made it...this far

We upstairs, I let you up here

You special, Marley, don't shoot

You know what this is?

Still Tha Carter 2 people

Yeah, you still in Tha Carter 2 people

All I have in this world is a pistol and a promise

A fist full of dollars, a list full of problems

I'll address them like P.O. boxes

Yeah I'm from New Orleans, the Creole cockpit

We so out of it, zero tolerance

Gangsta gumbo, I'll serve 'em a pot of it

I'm wealthy, still fucking with that block shit

Wet your ass up, head to feet til your sock drip

Don't slip, you might fall and bust your ass

No snakes at the Carter, tell the gardener cut the grass

I hear 'em but they talking under masks

Stop throwing pebbles at a bulletproof glass

That's Cash Money, honey pie

We ain't running, we don't hide, screaming fuck the other side

Don't get caught on it, this the deadliest grinds

I put your heart on it and walk on it

The chalk's only for the art homie

How they trace ya after I erase ya

Look around, we at war and you still in preparation

I'm riding for them reparations, no patience

Slow paper is better than no paper

Fast money don't last too long, you gotta pace it

You gotta know that paper

If you got it from a caper, gotta blow that paper

Gotta know that, photo phobia, no Kodak moments

Feds' walls with my pictures on 'em

Nah, I ain't even in the school yearbook

I don't do too much posing, got a cool killer look

Career crook, get your career took

I'm back like a brassiere hook

Bitch cheer, camouflage gear, the hunter's here

Better play it by ear, you ain't nothing but a deer

Around here and this here is Tha Carter

Serve it while it's hot out the pot to your mama

And Slim tell me ain't nobody hotter

But get your boy some dipping sauce, I want the whole enchilada

I got 'em by the collar, watch me drop 'em

On the head at the bottom

You ain't gotta shoot 'em cause I already shot 'em

And I ain't gotta get 'em cause I already got 'em

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

 

[Peace_79]

All them shits were dope af.

And the whole Carter II Is flames

 

[AggieLean.]

Had to go with C1. Mannie did his thing on the boards, and Wayne was spittin'. C2 was cool, and had a few bangers, but I wasn't really feeling a lot of the beats on that one. C3's replay value was horrible, and the beats weren't that great.

 

[lookdude]

When I heard hustlers musik I became a fan

 

[macadonwoo]

C1 easily ! , cause Manny was still on the boards.

 

[Bcotton5]

Man I remember omw to high school when the Carter 1 dropped straight flames!!!

LOVE THAT ALBUM MAN

dump toys boy

Didn't kno jam master well but I rock with my shells on

And the block still a hell zone

Get a helmet for you and ya gals dome

I suggest!

 

[Peace_79]

It's a crime how much y'all sleep on C3! It was hard to pick, toss up between C2 and C3 but....

3Peat?

A milli?

Dr Carter?

Let the beat build?

You ain't got nothin'?

Dontgetit?

Plus ya boy got some pussy to Mrs Officer!!!!!!

Yeah.

But it also had "Got Money" and "Phone Home" ...

As an album, I personally can't see how y'all even consider C3 over C1 or C2.

Just me though
