Synopsis

Amazon.com
Despite their similarities, the Cash Money Clique's challenge to Master P's No Limit empire is well founded. Even the Clique's most mundane celebrations of sex, wheels, alcohol, and dollars benefit from sharper, more imaginative production--not to mention occasional flashes of humor. Tha Block Is Hot, which serves as much as a posse showcase as a Lil Wayne statement, is entertaining even when it's just serviceable. Gangsta clichés aside, the disc is marked by a sense of fun strong enough that you may not even roll your eyes at its claim that Cash Money plans to stick around for the year 3000. Let's hope for their sake that they don't base their investment plans on such predictions. --Rickey Wright

Lil Wayne - Tha Block is Hot
Tha Realest | Greensburg, PA USA | 09/05/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"After Cash Money Records bursted out into the music industry, it introduced famous rappers such as Juvenile, B.G., Big Tymers (Mannie Fresh & Baby) and The Hot Boys into the game. As a member of the Hot boys, along with Juvenile, B.G. and Turk, Lil Wayne was the youngest rapper signed to their label. Only in his late teenage years, Wayne is out to prove just how dominate he is in the game with the release of his debut album, "Tha Block is Hot."

4 Stars



Wayne's debut is impressive considering how talented he is at his young age but there's not many rememorable tracks on here. There is no overall wack joints either, just nothing groundbreaking. Pick it up if your a fan of Lil Wayne, Cash Money Records or The Hot Boys.

Tha Block Is Hot but Lil Wayne is not
Nuisance | Miami | 07/08/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Come on now. You know Lil Wayne's flow evolved and started to sound a lot better with his second release, Lights Out. This album is when he still had that weebledy wobbledy flow he use to have(you know that's exactly how he use to rap. Dont act!). The album's only good tracks are Tha Block Is Hot, Kisha, F*** Tha World, Lights Off and You Want War. Hot garbage like Loud Pipes, Respect Us, Drop It Like It's Hot(his cheesy version of Juvenile's Back That Azz Up), High Beamin and Enemy Turf should have been left in the studio trash can where they belong. The rest of this album is so bad I wont discuss it. Bottom Line: Lil Wayne's Tha Block Is Hot is the worst Cash Money release of 1999. Lil Wayne's flow wasnt the only problem of the album, Mannie Fresh's beats were terrible and the guest appearances didnt help matters either. If you want Wayne at his best start with Lights Out and work your way up to Carter 2. This album was buttpuke. I was in high school when it came out, and I can recall people who were not used to giving away anything for free was going this album away free! That should tell you something."
