Lil Wayne- The Carter 1

[Atone]

1st of all, Lil Wayne did not blow up with Lollipop, i grew up in Florida, Lil Wayne blew up with "The Block Is Hot" down here

and i hated his music back then, cuz most of the songs had a shitty ass flow and he sounded drunk as fuck, my friends, who were all older high school kids (yea i'v always hung with the older groups) i was 12, my best friend was like 16, his sister was in my school and shit and she tried gettin on me but i was dumb as fuck and ran from her, i was 12, lol, anyways back to the topic,

My friend was a big fan of Cash Money / No Limit back then, so everytime i stayed over, he was playin Lil Wayne or Master P, and i hated em both, i was a Heavy Metal fan at the time, so rap music made no sence to me, i would be playing pantera and metallica at home wondering how the fuck anybody could listen to Lil Wayne.....

Now, fast forward to November 28th, 2000, my 13th birthday, my dad bought me my 1st rap album, a guy i never heard of before, Eminem, "The Marshall Mathers LP" at first i was like wtf, and then after the 1st 3 songs i was like HOLY SHIT, lol...eminem got me into rap music, and thats when i started to rap, before rapo, i was writing rock music, Eminem is what turned me into a rapper..

but anyways, back on topic again, i hated Lil Wayne forever, never liked his music and then after awhile i slowly started to give him a 2nd chance, the 2nd time i really started hearing wayne blow up was with Lollipop, another annoying ass song, but his style changed from how i 1st heard him, so thats what made me go out and buy his cd, so, i went from hatin "The Block Is Hot" to bein ok with "The Carter 3" and one day i was at K-Mart, and they had a triple Pack, sellin "The Carter 1, 2 and 3" i bought it, never listened much, cuz my cd collection was massive at the time, so really the carter collection got skipped.

Right now as i type this, i'm goin thru "The Carter" track for track, and i like every song so far, he really elevated from what he started out as, this album so far, is great music to chill to, so what i did was download his entire discography, and there 3 songs on "The Block Is Hot" and 2 songs on "Lights Out" that stood out to me and i actually like, so, i guess you can say i'm becoming a Lil Wayne fan.

I'm gonna listen to his albums in order, i hope the rest of his cd's sound as good, or better than carter 1....

Haha I was kidding homie. Yeah, the Carters are pretty dope, C2 is the only one I don't really get sick of. Hustler Muzik and Shooter are two of his top songs, and it really doesn't have any bad tracks.

I'm still in the middle of carter 1, "Bring It Back" sounds pretty dope, Mannie Fresh, which i'm guessing is a double meaning for "Man-He-Fresh" has some dope beats to, i know he did a song for need for speed, that beat was crazy

Miss My Dawgs is my favorite on C1, top ten of his songs.

[Atone]

I'm listening to that now, isn't this song about the hot boys? speakin on the beef they had? and so far i like this song, this is a major improvement from his 1st albums, so far i like every song on this

I've felt the same way honestly, but was introduced to Wayne through I Can't Feel My Face. His mixtapes are usually of high quality, some better than his albums (which isn't a good thing at all), but my favorite album of his would probably be Carter II (big surprise), pretty consistant but unnecessarily long and nowhere near the classic some people hail it to be, it was good for a mainstream release at the time but that's it. (I do believe it's better than both Game albums and any 50 cent album though).

Maybe his music was an acquired taste, or something but I know I hated him first time I heard his shit, and only really started heavily bumping when my brother would drive me everywhere and bump Wayne every time. Whether to practice, to get food, just to chill, or to drive me to my friend's house, one song he always replayed was "Black Republican" and "Blowin up Fast" (loved the latter's instrumental, didn't know that it was a Ye beat at the time). It just stuck with me at that point and I would always type in the lyrics to the songs, I didn't know into google, loll. Guess that's how much of an influence my brother had on me, making me like an artist that I initially hated at first. Though we have very contrasting music tastes now.

Rebirth is generally horrible/mediocre, except for Drop The World, American Star, and Fuck Today.

Rebirth is by far his worst.

i'v noticed, Lil Wayne should never do rock style music again, i hope Carter 4 is better

Listen to all the Dedication and Drought mixtapes, they're free on Datpiff and straight fire. You might like No Ceilings, IDK it's a lil too poppy for me.

i really liked I'm Not a Human Being EP turned LP...nice variety of tracks on there
but i'm also probably the second biggest Lil Wayne fan on this site so take whatever i say with a grain of salt lol
