EPISODE 108: THE CARTER (Lil Wayne) Ft. Abe Beame

Abe Beame (@TheFakeAbeBeame) came through to discuss The Carter, the 2008 documentary following Lil Wayne in the portentous months before his greatest success with The Carter III. Its a dark look at his incredible (and incredibly self destructive) creative process at a time when there was literally no one better on the mic.

Abe pitched this episode in connection with an article he put together about Wayne's legendary mixtape run AND the idea of the mixtape as art form. Check out his article in the link below.

And if you’re hungry for a ‘real rap talk’ episode, this is the one. Both Ant and Abe are rap wizards, so it was great to sit back and listen to these two just talk about everything that makes Wayne great. Rap convo starts at 1:17.
