Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0044006005829 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Cash Money Manufacturer: Cash Money MPN: 060058 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Cash Money Release Date: July 23, 2002 Studio: Cash Money Editorial Review: Amazon.com: While the Cash Money Records label continues to suffer through the free-agent exodus of its hottest emcee, Juvenile, Lil Wayne has been slotted in as the crew's go-to griot. However, on 500 Degreez Wayne's inability to rap about subjects other than Bentleys, babes, blunts, and booze severely limits his career possibilities. On the profanity-laced "F*** You" and "Gangsta S***," his mediocre and indistinct rhymes and flows are barely saved by Mannie Fresh's electro-funk beat schemes. That's not to say that Fresh isn't coasting either, performing his normal interpolation-heavy productions (e.g., "Way of Life" is a spin-off on Junior Mafia's "Get Money"). Why Lil Weezy would spend three-quarters of his studio time boasting about how much moola he makes ("Get That Dough") and how great he thinks he is ("Look at Me") is anybody's guess. The one time Weezy does go introspective on "Young'n Blues" it's already too late, because he's already branded himself a hip-hop jester. --Dalton Higgins Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More Like 5 Degreez (2 and 1/2 stars)Okay. You all know that Juvenile left Cash Money at this time and words were exchanged with Lil Wayne and now we have this sorry attempt at a comback. For starters Lil Wayne can flow well on occasion. Most of the time he falls on his face especially when he feels himself. This album shows you that arrogant rappers will always fail to make a quality album. The Good: Way Of Life was a decent first single. Gangsta's And Pimps is not bad even though Jazze Pha's awful singing could be left off the track. ... Read More Rating:  - Weak album, even for Weezy fansIn 2002, Lil Wayne released his third album "500 Degreez." This album is Wayne's worst, displaying a lot of problems. Although his first two albums were entertaining Cash Money Records productions, this album simply doesn't deliver like those two did. At this point in his career, Weezy was lyrically not the rapper he would become in his early 20s, still in a teenage phase rapping mostly about money, cars, and prosperity, which is fine given the right production. The problem is, even the production on ... Read More Rating: - Lil Wayne - 500 DegreezAfter taking a year off the scene, Lil Wayne returns with his follow-up to "Lights Out" with "500 Degreez." After Juvenile released the supposed classic with "400 Degreez", Wayne is out to prove that his spit game and this album is wayyy hotter. 1. Fly Talkin' (Intro) - No Rating 2. Look at Me - 4/5 3. Way of Life (Featuring Big Tymers & TQ) - 3.5/5 4. Big Tigger Live on the Radio (Skit) - No Rating 5. Gangsta and Pimps (Featuring Baby) ...

I dont know what he was trying to do with this album trying something new but it obviously didnt work. Overly done bass and awkward beats with weak choruses. This CD is full of non-Cash Money cameo appearances and Lil Wayne rarely rapped. Cop any other Cash Money Record cd, but this. The Block is Hot is Lil Wayne's best CD. What was lil wayne thinking. Rating:  - Its 500 not 400 degreez F all you juvenile fanboys this album its hot from beggining 2 end don't listen 2 these hatin ass reviewers so what if he's braggin about how much sh*t he has and you suckas a do it 2 if ya had it so don't hate this dude is spittin fire ans sh*tin on his old label mates as well stop playin this weezies company this is a classic cash money album all that old sh*t is dead respect it or check it if you like lil wayne get this album as well as all his other albums you will not be disapointed this reviewers just don't ...
