well, in the pfork review he says it again
Like Wayne's Tha Carter II, it translates Gucci's mixtape triumphs into something more digestible and immediate.
this must be a mistake unless he's talking about the first dedication, but i mean obv the comparison would fit dedication 2 -> weezyana -> drought 3 -> carter III sessions -> carter III in terms of making wayne's mixtape triumphs more digestible and immediate

you right, iii makes way more sense wrt that sentence
― een, Thursday, 14 January 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link
it kind of seems like he's out to prove that he's listened to weezy albums before he was a phenomenon with white guys on the internet--i'm pretty sure he's spuriously referenced his "carter ii peak" in like every news item about lil wayne in the past 6 months.
― een, Thursday, 14 January 2010 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
well he was def one of the most vocal & visible voices when it came to 07/08 wayne
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 14 January 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
also here's a crazy thought maybe Tom actually does believe Carter 2 was his peak
― some dude, Thursday, 14 January 2010 22:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i do too but if that's true then i don't think the analogy is really relevant-- i mean obviously wayne was putting out mixtapes before tha carter II but i don't think anyone at the time was viewing that album through the prism of his mixtapes (as opposed to tha carter or his younger cash money days) as everyone had no choice but to do w/ tha carter III or the state vs radric davis

i figured "tu casa, mi casa" was a bad sex jam so i put off listening to it but gucci's verse is sick!

this song reminds me that a few days i was thinking about how "dey know" and "foolish" are two of the most improbable (near-)classic singles in recent memory considering how genuinely shitty shawty lo is as a rapper. easily my least favorite rapper who i still might be forced to listen to. does he have a song with a trey songz hook?

can't tell if this laconic horror beat makes nicki unbearable cuz she has to slow down her flow or if it kind of fits perfectly
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 16 January 2010 07:19 (fourteen years ago) link
i like nikki on this, boring yo gotti verse which probably would have saved the track as a whole for me. too bad cuz the hook is a classic too
