Some of those chances hit the mark and hit it directly, while others will leave listeners wondering. No major label hip-hop release in 2008 takes more chances. Baby injects an unabashedly creative spirit to everything from his lyrics and flow to beat selection. Wayne's inability to produce a classic with Tha Carter III can be directly correlated to his two greatest assets as an artist: ambition and creativity. So is this latest edition of The Carter the classic the hip-hop world was pining for? And with every pushed-back release date of Tha Carter III, the scrutiny and expectation grew. With all of this comes scrutiny, and expectation. A passion for hip-hop, a passion for music - a passion for creating. If nothing else could be said about the man they call Lil Wayne, it's that he's got an undeniable passion. While Nas makes albums about how hip-hop is dead and Joe Budden is indicting everyone responsible, the self-proclaimed best rapper alive spends his days, nights and holidays in the studio. That's a mighty weight on the shoulders of the man from New Orleans. Album DescriptionThe man who, by most accounts, is supposed to be the savior of hip-hop. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. Filled with bold, entertaining wordplay and plenty of well-executed, left-field ideas, Tha Carter III should be considered as a wild, somewhat difficult child of Weezy's magnum opus in motion, one that allows the listener an exhilarating and unapologetic taste of artistic freedom. You can fault him for not connecting enough on the album and further complicating his unmanageable body of work with this disjointed effort, but Wayne's true masterpiece is the bigger picture and how he's flipped the script since the first Carter rolled out. As the track flows from political commentary ('My whole city's underwater, some people still floatin'/And they wonderin' why black people still votin'/Cuz your President's still chokin'') to despair and onto some moving 'keep your head up'-styled verse, it proves Wayne can go deep and connect with his audience if he chooses.

Just like on Tha Carter II, Robin Thicke ends up the most complementary guest, coating Wayne's post-Katrina tale 'Tie My Hands' in warm buttery soul. Carter,' and with Babyface laying the stylish swagger all over 'Comfortable,' Wayne gets the opportunity to convincingly vibe in the land of true class. Giant meets giant when Jay-Z stops by for the velvet-smooth hangout session 'Mr. Carter,' when the football reference 'And you ain't Vince Young/So don't clash with the Titan' dances on a David Axelrod sample and an unexpected jazzy production from Swizz Beatz.

It wouldn't be the electro-bumpin' 'Lollipop,' an infectious track that contains the wonderfully Wayne line 'I told her to back it up/Like burp, burp.' You certainly wouldn't want to lose key cut 'Phone Home,' where the maverick adopts an alien voice and drops 'I could get your brains for a bargain/Like I bought it from Target.' Another Weezy special from way outside the hip-hop universe comes in the striking 'Dr. 5 - the 'classic' argument could be considered, but figuring out what to sacrifice from this high-grade jumble is difficult.

4 - just one of his mixtape series that made it to a Pt.

Had he included another easy-access single like 'Rider' from The Drought Is Over, Pt. Tha Carter III is instead a surprisingly casual album that takes numerous listens to sort out, and only part of a puzzle that is scattered across mixtapes, guest shots, and Internet leaks. His 'best rapper alive' quote is discussed to death, but if that claim includes creating perfectly crafted full-lengths in a 2Pac style, the evidence won't be found here.

There's his complete annihilation of the mixtape game, the ridiculous amount of guest shots he granted since Tha Carter II made him a hip-hop superstar, that photograph of him kissing his mentor, Birdman, rumors of addiction to the sizzurp, plus the gargantuan ego and aggravating aloofness (Wayne will ignore all incoming beefs and infuriate challengers even further by offering the lethal 'I don't listen to your records'). How Tha Carter III came to be 'the most anticipated rap album of 2008' is a story that involves the usual delays and promises of a masterpiece, plus a whole lot of bullet points that could only exist in the absurd world of Lil Wayne.
