Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. Today is proving itself to be a VERY exciting Tuesday, and as the night progresses, it seems to be getting much better. For those of you who don't know (get the hell off of my blog), Lil Wayne's new album, Tha Carter III, was FINALLY released today. Yes, I was at Dr.Disc directly after school spending my hard earned money to buy this album. Well, I think I built the hype up quite enough, and now, if I may, an official Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice Record Review seems to be in order.
An Official Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice Record Review; Tha Carter III
Before I first sat down to listen to this album, my hand were shaking. The reason I was so anxious about this is, quite frankly, I didn't think that anything could top Da Drought 3. I release now that this is not what Dwayne Carter (Lil Wayne, respectively) set out to do. Tha Carter III is an equally amazing, yet completely different album. So, with that in mind, I proceeded to carefully slide the album into my CD player. The following 18 songs were complete and utter bliss.
3 Peat serves as a great opener, with Lil Wayne rapping about... well, basically shooting your grandmother and being the greatest. Then, the epic (I hate that word) Mr.Carter starts, which sets a completely different mood, featuring a sweet sped up sample, and Jay-Z (that's always a good way to get points with me). After all this, I still don't mind the T-Pain contribution, even though he bugs the living shit out of me.
The rest of the album is equally great, with maybe just one low point (A Mili), but I was able to get past that, so you should as well! Well, here's a track from the album, even though I HIGHLY suggest that you go to your local record store and purchase it yourself. I mean it this time.
