Love him or hate him, Lil' Wayne and the Cash Money crew make some of the best "dirty South" music going today. Clever, if not anti-intellectual, Tha Carter III features the usual Weezy wordplay and some of the best beats I've heard all year. There is lot more here than "Lollipop". Favorites include "3 Peat", "Comfortable", "Tie My Hands", and "Shoot Me Down". -- wrx20l
