Them leaks were in December (November?). Wayne had four months to put out quality material. It isn't the fact that he can't recreate agreat album, it's the fact that he didn't care enough to put out quality material (or to hop off everything else's track and focus time on his ownmusic). Why? Because he knew he would push a million the first week regardless.Originally Posted by YaBoyDiddy

Most of these songs were subpar. His mixtapes were better.
All his best work unintentionally leaked prior to the album; u cant fault him for not bringing a great album. You cant recreate a great album - 'aight, let me get back in that zone I was in...before all my music leaked'. It's not happening; there's no on switch for that . Them C3 sessions - Drought 2 to be specific - were something special... If that made it to an album, it would of been ridiculous. After them leaks, having to start from scratch and come with anything even decent...he deserves the numbers he put up.
I tried to like it but i couldn't, the production was decent, good to ride around to but his voice is annoying. Most of his rapping doesn't make sense, sloppy verses. Probably the most overhyped album to ever drop

Plus this was the first full album he did with his "new" style. Wayne is using that Dipset style rap with a southern swag. I don't think ittranslates and it sounds ridiculous to me. You put that over anything and you'll get disappointment.
I completely agree....Originally Posted by youngjordan23
I agree the hype killed people's reaction to the album but consider he had atleast 2 FULL ALBUMS of songs leaked prior to this i say he would have had the best album since college dropout had none of the tracks leaked early IMO

This is the FIRST Lil Wayne album I've heard (I had better taste in music in the past tho...), but this *!** is a SOLID effort, especially in this day and age of hip hop. If there was ANY album or artist that deserved to sell a million in a week, it was this, the the lil N his props . . . Don't be a hater all your life . . . There are some flat out bizarre rhymes on here (Verse on"You Ain't Got Nuthin", "Playing With Fire") but give him a break, the poor guy was on drugs

Mr Carter
Dr Carter
Tie My Hands
Shoot Me Down
You Ain't Got Nothin
Don't Get It

Also the singles, prolly not the best songs in the world, but they did wonders for his #s so you can't really argue with success (unless of course you're a hater)
