Since Fireman

From the first part of "Tha Carter" series, 2004 to second in 2005 changed despite just one year between just about anything for Lil Wayne and the Cash Money crew, because house producer Mannie Fresh, the the sound of the label its unique stamp on and has been responsible for the years in which it rained platinum awards, "Fast Money" had to baby's the guys from CMR turned their backs and went his own way. However, this did not deter Weezy, on the contrary. Lyrically probably as strong as never seen Dwayne Carter, who created an album together with other Producern as The Runners, Mr. Bangladesh, Bigg D, Deezle or Cool & Dre and guests such as Robin Thicke, Kurupt, Currency and the Birdman, the is undoubtedly one among the best of the Class of 2005.

As with "Tha Carter" Part 2 starts with a short intro song namely "Fly In". Overall, nothing special but not bad either. Right away you go only with track # 3, "Money On My Mind". Gloomy beats gescrewter Hook and Weezy in usual narcissistic manner. Hit single "Fireman" is the only truly modern Club song by "Tha Carter II" and also equal to a real board. Booming bass, fast rhythms and a lot of synthesizer, which is exactly what you expect from a producer Mr. Bangladesh. Wayne raps fit to correct bite, especially where the chorus has become really great. From that he thinks he's the best, make the Birdman JR. Absolutely no secret and confirmed with the "Best Rapper Alive", a song that brims with self-confidence, which is accompanied by grandiose his powerful guitar riffs. Kurupt doyen was one of the few features in "Lock & Load" ready, but took only a little Genuschel in Hook. Overall a chilled and pleasant number that has, however, soon lost their appeal.

Melodic and almost in the nursery rhyme-style, but also with some R & B and Funk Flavor relaxed "Grown Man" is equipped with the Weezy told along with Cash Money Currency colleague his Chica that he is now a big boy who is willing to one or another pillow fight. If that was a little too soft, the place with "Hit Em Up" just right. The driving bass and again some great electric guitar give rise to an aggressive mood, including Lil Wayne shines with casual and superior Rhymes. A true masterpiece is the handset offered with "Hustler Musik". During the verses, everything is nice and quiet and it's fun to listen Weezy. The chorus then put an acoustic instruments such as strings and winds, to the small Birdman sings so well that you get almost goosebumps. Large class and thus the absolute highlight Album! Of similar caliber would "Receipt", which, however, a trace cheerful comes across and, moreover, with some ascends to Ghospel and Soul, including Wayne kicks profound rhymes.

R'n'B Shooting Star Robin Thicke produced hit single "Shooter" and took over thereby also still the same singing in the chorus. The song is reminiscent of the typical New Orleans Blues, is the basis of piano and bass, as well as the combination Thicke / Weezy for real enjoyment. The only appearance of his foster father Birdman there on "I'm A Dboy", a good, but not outstanding standard-South-Track. At the end of "Tha Carter II" shows Lil Wayne on "Feel Me" and "Get Over" (feat. Nikki) again by his thoughtful side and proves the Hatern that it is not just the cliched dull South rapper, but a serious musician who then finally with "Fly Out" flutters us away again.

According to his not always so serious first four albums you hear on "Tha Carter II" a grown-up Lil Wayne, who since 2005 is one of the greats in American Hip Hop Circus latest. Mannie Fresh is missing although already very strong, but the newfound lyrical depth makes up for it for the most part. Fans of the old Cash Money for 1998-2001 are "Tha Carter II" initially may have with their difficulties, should listen to a few times but find any pleasure in this.
