| | VIBE.com: Lil' Wayne - Tha Carter (Cash Money/Universal) |
 | | He uncorks witty punch lines on 8220;Cash Money Millionaires,” “Hoes,” and “This Is the Carter,” where he beckons, “I’m sorta like BD, y’all can’t stop my dribble nor block the layup.” But on “I Miss My Dawgs,” Weezy is convincingly wistful, kicking reconciliatory rhymes to former partners B.G., Juve, and Turk. |
 | | But overall, The Carter serves true fiends, especially when Mannie Fresh’s sonic backdrops find the musical groove, as on the ebullient, brassy “Get Down” and the electric funk–driven “Ain’t That a Bitch.” Though Wayne may feel like a lone soldier, Cash Money is still an army, better yet a navy. |
