A girl I was dating at the time left this CD in my stereo after borrowing my car. Stayed on after the first track. Opened my eyes to the fact that I missed a lot of good shit post 2001.
I was 13 when this came out. Went to go buy it at the shop and got told I couldn't get it without an adult. Knowing my parents would never do it, I went and asked a neighbor I saw in the mall. The 1st album I ever spent my own money to own. I love it so much.
@@MadMaximo nobody said otherwise, but also no no way he's better than them except for Jay-Z. maybe if he followed the trend of his first three legendary albums but he declined and his current stuff is just mid at best

This era is truly incredible. The fact that C3 got leaked and Wayne decided to scrap it and make a whole new album is insane (The original C3 is still really good imo). Plus selling a million first week with this, his mixtape + feature run, and soon the Young Money takeover 😮💨 Wayne was unstoppable 🐐
@@FrancoisDressler I love the original C3. I just think it’s less accessible to the average music listener since there’s not a lot of commercial sounding songs like a Lollipop or Mrs. Officer. And the ones that are like Prostitute Flange aren’t as good. I absolutely love Something You Forgot, I Feel Like Dying, & World Fantasy just to name a few 😅 I wish they got officially released
This literally just happened to me 2 days ago. I actually had to check and make sure Comfortable was on C3 and not a leak. Wayne is insanely versatile.
I hear you there. We were so young(atleast in my case) when this came out… like i was in high school. That song was lame af to me… but… revisiting it later, its a completely different track with more life experience and music appreciation
This album was everything. The build up to it was even more. If there could have been a way to show your dad all of his mixtapes leading up to this, I feel like your dad’s understanding of how well put together this album was. So much anticipation, sold a million copies in the first week. Lil Wayne is the GOAT of Hip Hop
All the hype leading up to Wayne dropping this album was amazing. All the features and mixtapes he dropped claiming he was the “best rapper alive”, and then backing it up with this classic. You just had to be there…
Honestly got goosebumps listening to this again. Wayne really changed the rap game in this era, he brought a lot of witty lightness to rap with all his punch lines. YMCMB forever ❤
Tie My Hands is his most underrated song in the catalog. The story telling and lyricism in the loud track embodies his true greatness. No unnecessary punchlines and metaphors or lost bars. It’s a complete track.
its in my top 5 fav wayne songs and thats saying a lot because i know and have listened to most of his discography from 500 degeree and up mixtapes n unreleased shit included same with features.
Maaaan, this album was THE album of 2008. Every time you turned on the radio, you were going to hear something from this album. Lollipop, Mr. Carter, Ms. Officer, Comfortable, Got Money, A Milli, Tie My Hands were all on heavy radio rotation in Chicago. And yeah, to answer your question about Got Money being a banger in the club, it totally was. I turned 21 in 2009 and it was STILL being played then. Edit: It's funny you guys bring up his cadence as well. Back then almost every rap artist that came out tried using that same flow that Wayne had here. Big Sean, Mac Miller, Childish Gambino, Diggy Simmons. Drake sounded just like Wayne during the "So Far Gone" era. But yeah, newer artists like Young Thug have mentioned that Wayne was one of his biggest influences if not the biggest.
I can STILL rap A Milli word for word and i remember the days of trying to freestyle over that beat at 8-9 years old 😂😂😂 good times and a perfect time to get into hip hop.
This was my favorite album in 2008. Def top 5 ever . 1 million sold first week, no streaming back then either. Wayne was in his prime that year, dropped no ceilings the next year. 🐐
This was the first rap album I ever bought. Before that I was in to emo and pop punk stuff and just took a punt on this album. Legit made me appreciate rap as a legitimate musical outlet and it went on to become my favourite genre of music. Tha Carter III is a certified classic
Saying you ain’t got nuthin was a track that was ‘just there’😭😭 one of the hardest songs I’ve ever heard all three guys absolutely snapped and uncle al cooked with that beat too
I can't stress enough the impact lil wayne and this album have had on my life. He is the reason I started pursuing music. The whole album is incredible, but I heard Mr.Carter and knew this is what I wanted to do. Wayne's classic album, a timeless record for me
I remember my mom would play Mrs. Officer every time she took me to school or to teeball practice when I was like 5 or 6 since I would always sing the chorus to that song because as a kid I found it very catchy and I still do to this day, and also hearing Lollipop and A Milli on the radio frequently back then was such a vibe as well, good times ☺
Tie my hands and misunderstood are two of the most underrated hip hop songs of all time, people say goat way to often but wayne genuinely is the greatest of all time!
Tha Carter 3 and Dedication 3 dropped that summer! I was 13 years old growing up in the streets of california playing basketball playing all summer, downloaded it in my IPOD off limewire and would listen to it on repeat on the way to open gym everyday. When you opened my Myspace this was my whole tracklist, let the beat build was the first track I ever got stuck on in my life! Litterally on repeat 10 times a day and shoot me down. This album is amazing still! If you wernt a teen in the hood when this came out you just will never understand how big of a deal this album was!
This is what the people from Louisiana have been waiting for! Also, you should go through a little of Wayne's mixtapes to show how he controlled the mixtape era.. adds another level of respect to his name
The sister of my girlfriend got this album when it came out and listened to it every day in the car on the way to highschool. Hated it for so long, but it's cool to hear it again after so many years and have all those memories come flooding back in.
As funny as the Pussy Monster reaction was, I wish you played Playing With Fire instead which was the original track 14. I think sample clearance messed it up after the release and it got replaced on most versions, but that song is so essential to this album for me, one of my favourites for sure
Man you made me feel old when you said you were 8 when this came out. I was a freshmen when it came out and I can’t even explain how big this album was in highschool. Every song on this album was basically on the radio 24/7 and when lollipop came out it was the biggest song in the world Wayne is the 🐐
more lil wayne: let it all work out off the carter five. can’t speak for the entire album but him retelling the story of how the cop bob saved his life is beautiful
I know where I was at when I was listening to this. I was 8, my brother was 13 and we listened to this. I just smile every time I listen to this album. The saddened appreciative smile. But From rap, style, bars, impact, fashion, creativity, and longevity, Wayne is the greatest rapper.
Another great album. It would be cool to see reactions to Kendrick's earlier works like Section 80, Overly Dedicated and The Kendrick Lamar EP, cos he is also anong the artists that were influenced by Lil Wayne and it shows a lot in his early works.
Yesssss I’m stoked to listen to this one. I’m very curious of your guys’ thought process when it comes to this album. It was one of the first rap albums I really got into when I was in high school.
Another great video. So I have listened to this album a million times and I’ve never heard P*ssy Monster until today. Playing With Fire was on the original and I wasn’t aware that it was replaced. An experience hearing P Monster for sure.

I absolutely love that song
Def grew on me after first listen. First listen, of course the major hits are gonna be what stands out, however, comfortable is great.
Song gives nostalgia i can not replace! 👏🏼
Fun fact: Comfortable - produced by Kanye West, was a sample of Alicia Keys "You Don't Know My Name", also produced by Kanye
Yessss I’m glad other people know this!!!!
“No brake lights on my “car rear” “career”.. (no stopping in his career) I’m 35 now and just now got that line… 🤦🏾♂️
Oh man…Comfortable is a top 3 song on this album for me. And it wasnt when it came out, but revisiting it a few years back it stood out
That's a beautiful song!
It's always been in my top 5, I appreciated it more with time. Mos def in my top 3 off of this album now.

The original version with Cory Gunz was 🔥
That was myself and the homie's theme song for the end of primary school. And that's how my Hip-Hip journey started.
"Pussy monster" track replaces "Playing with fire" (one of the greatest songs on the album) due to copyright infringment
Honestly got goosebumps listening to this again. Wayne really changed the rap game in this era, he brought a lot of witty lightness to rap with all his punch lines. YMCMB forever ❤
So happy to see rap back on the channel, Carter 3 and ALLA are huge bangers to start with

Wayne made one of the best rnb songs of all the with Mrs Officer. The sirens are just so odd, but it's just so catchy all these years later

Lollipop and a milli is such a banger and so is DR Carter 🔥😭
An era worth remembering. It was so widely heard yet Spotify was not really anything people used at the time.. amazing
spotify didn’t exist in 2008
carter 2 = rapper
carter 3 = artist
That baseline on A Mili is THIIICK!!!
What an era! The run Wayne had during this time was incredible to witness. 🙏

Wayne did not write a single word on this album on a piece of paper. And won a Grammy for this masterpiece

Tell your dad too, “Mr. Carter” is also cool because it is BOTH JayZ and Wayne’s names.
