Amazon.com: Who would have thought back in the Hot Boys' early days that it'd be Lil Wayne who not simply survived his older peers like Juvenile, but ended up thriving by the time he reached Tha Carter, vol. 2, Weezy’s fourth album. He sounds more confident as an MC--but more importantly, he wields a genuinely impressive array of different styles (as opposed to countless one-note rappers), from the chattering, thuggish "Fireman" and the languid style of "Oh No" to the emotional, introspective "Feel Me." In some ways, he actually bears a resemblance to rap's other major "Carter" (Jay-Z), not just in his increasingly effortless flow but in his assertiveness as a leader. In other words, he's matured in all the right ways as an artist. His album is still longer than it needs to be--22 tracks, 77 minutes--but even the filler is listenable while the best songs, like "Receipt," "Shooter," and "Hustler Musik" help establish this as one of 2005's last great albums. --Oliver Wang Customer Reviews: Rating:

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter II
It is highly unlikely that Tha Carter III will be a better album than this one. Because to me, this is easily one of the best Rap albums i have heard in the last five years. Lil Wayne can say he is the best rapper alive after this almost perfect album. Before Tha Carter II, Weezy was just another rapper claiming to be the best, very similar to T.I. But T.I. didnt live up to his own hype, Lil Wayne did. This album is great because it combines the best of the mixtape world and the radio world. The production on this album is what surprised me the most, because this is the first Weezy album where Mannie Fresh wasnt the main producer, and thats where Waynes had all of his previous success. But i have never been a big fan of Mannie, so i was pleased with the move. But Wayne seemed much more aggressive on this album than any of his other past albums. On tracks like the rap-rock mixed "Best Rapper Alive", where he spits venom about how he is the King of the game. Or on the eerie piano tinged "Hit Em Up" which is almost scary how devilish this song sounds, but its none the less a standout where he again re establishes his street cred. And then there is the Isley Brothers sampled "Receipt" which is probably my favorite song on the album with its feel good laid back vibe. Overall, this album has several standouts, but the biggest thing this album has done for Weezy, is that it established him as a very potent rapper who is so versatile. This album is definetly a keeper and definetly worth buying!
