The lyrics do go into the realm of corniness in more than a few spots, but experimentation and inventiveness don’t always work out perfectly. He also holds his own against a rejuvenated, post- Kingdom Come Jay-Z with three nice verses on “Mr Carter.” He still sneaks some clever wordplay in singles tailored for radio play like the line “I see her boyfriend hatin’ like a city cop” on “Got Money.” When it’s time for hooks and songcraft to go away he just goes in with a reckless abandon. When you can talk gangster credentials and namecheck Adam Sandler, Viagra, Hitler, and Stuart Scott (R.I.P.) in the same verse, as Wayne does on the opener “3 Peat,” and have it not come off corny or forced, you’re in a special place lyrically. This overlapping section in the Venn diagram of lyricism and commercialism is where the singularity and value of the album lies. Carter,” “Phone Home,” and “Let The Beat Build” that are conceptually driven enough to be more than a mixtape track, and lyrically sound enough to distinguish them from obvious appeals to the lowest common denominator. But what represents the marriage of commercial Wayne and MC Wayne are the tracks like “Dr. Then there are the tracks that satisfy the hip-hop heads that leaned all the way into the mixtapes, like the hookless intro “3 Peat,” the Juelz Santana/Fabolous sparring session “You Ain’t Got Nuthin,” the Busta Rhymes-assisted “La La,” and the onslaught that is “A Milli” (which still manages to get the club cracking to this day).

It was delightful to witness him grow into an unorthodox but talented lyricist that could employ a multitude of flows while cleverly stringing together seemingly arbitrary topics in free-associative wordplay on Da Drought 3. Then the lyrical prowess developed rapidly through that unprecedented and unduplicated run of mixtapes. Who Wayne was as a solo artist was unclear and untapped, but he would slowly prove he could construct comprehensive yet marketable albums on his own up through Tha Carter II. He started out young on the grandest stage, spouting silly earworms like “wobbledy, wobbledy, drop, drop it like it’s hot” and coining phrases like “bling bling,” muffled among many voices.
