Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some simply snatch it while everyones looking the other way. Step up Lil Wayne: for the first half of his career a makeweight in the Hot Boys, a four-man group drawn from the roster of New Orleans label Cash Money; for the latter, the self-proclaimed Best Rapper Alive.
Wayne (real name Dwayne Carter) seized the occasion of Jay-Z's 2003 retirement to reinvent himself. He switched up his style, varying his flow, improving his lyrics, even growing his hair into dreadlocks. He also took advantage of their shared surname to effectively anoint himself Jay-Zs successor, reminding listeners of the link with the release of every album, all called Tha Carter.
Jay-Z, never one to miss a stunt, happily plays along on this third instalment of the series, turning up for the enthronement on the dot-joining Mr Carter: 'I'm right here, in my chair, with my crown, and my dear, Queen B, as I share, my time, with my heir/ Young Carter, go farther, go further, go harder, is that not why we came? And if not, then why bother?'
There's a grating sense that Carter III's classic billing is as pre-ordained as a royal lineage. The sleeve, depicting Wayne as a baby, purposefully echoes previous rap landmarks, Nas's Illmatic and Biggie's Ready To Die , and its release has been delayed almost a year while Wayne got his bona fide monster single, duly secured with US number one Lollipop. The hit was crucial: although successful, Wayne has been noted more for quantity than quality, bombarding the charts with cameos and the internet with underground mixtapes (one magazine compiled a list of his top 77 tracks of 2007).
Tha Carter III places him squarely in the mainstream, a name to sit alongside Kanye West (who produces four tracks here) and 50 Cent, with such cautiously generic fare as the R'n'B 'Comfortable', crunk-heavy 'Milli' and 'Lollipop'. It also exposes his occasionally clunky way as a lyricist ('I'm wittier than comedy' - and more thrilling than a thriller, no doubt). But Wayne is a consummate stylist whose risks bring out his best. 'Dr Carter', built upon a David Axelrod sample, sees him grow steadily more animated as he rescues hip hop on the surgical table. He shines on the gimmicky 'Phone Home' and on a brace of Kanye productions - 'Tie My Hands' and soft rock prowler 'Shoot Me Down'.
Most of all, Wayne has presence, a delivery that seems to slide in just behind the beat and a voice thats part-robotic, part-narcoleptic, the consequence, no doubt, of his prodigious intake of prescription cough syrup, a potentially lethal concoction. An unconcerned Wayne has taken to wearing a fuck rehab T-shirt designed by his mother. Hopefully he won't go the Winehouse route, just as he's approaching his peak. While Tha Carter III isn't his hoped-for masterpiece, it'll do until one comes along.
