Far too much attention being given to a tweet from someone whose wikipedia page “career” section is only updated to 2013
Tha Carter 1 and 2 still hold up well to me, and I feel a big reason for that is how entrenched it was in its regional sound. Whereas Carter 3 was what mainstream rap was sounding like in general for the time.
There are definitely songs from those first 2 I can still enjoy, but as albums they don't really work for me anymore. I agree that the Carter 3 is much worse than those 2 though.
It’s one thing to say Wayne’s new music is dog s*** but we are not going to act like he did not make classic songs.
It aged better than Lollipop imho.
But A Milli is an impressive accomplishment no matter how you feel about it.
For a straight freestyle song with no hook and nothing but bars to make it to the top 5 on Billboard and get tons of radio play was a very insane feat back then.
Imagine if Backseat Freestyle and 5 AM in Toronto were competing with pop hits when they dropped.
We can nitpick certain lines and all but you can't discredit A Milli's impact.
Also sales were different back then like people had to legit buy this hookless song
A milli is a masterpiece. I do wish they would update the beat by putting better 808s in them so it hits harder, same with lollipop which the 808s are completely out of tune from the rest of the beat
It was defo a moment you had to be there to truly appreciate it but it’s not the worst aging song from that era.
Touch grass
Get out ya feelings.
You not in 3rd Grade anymore.
Most of the music was TRASH!
besides the f word bullshit what else hasnt aged well?
the beat i guess? disagree if thats the case
Both A Milli and Lollipop still sound classic to me
Lollipop sounds way better now to me lol
