Da Drought 3 is a two-disc mixtape by Lil Wayne. This is the third mixtape in the trilogy of mixtapes in Da Drought series. The mixtape was delayed slightly because of his last-minute decision to add songs to the album's second disc. The album is available as a free legal download.

Although some major websites, such as mixtrap.com, have been selling the CD as an official product, Wayne has specifically addressed the fact (even on the Outro on both discs) that he intended for the entire CD to be free of charge, a pseudo gift to his fan base. It was nominated for mixtape of the year at the Ozone Awards but lost to Killer Mike's I Pledge Alligance to the Grind.

[edit] Popularity

Only months after the release of the highly anticipated mixtape, Da Drought 3 further solidified Wayne as a respected rapper and lyricist in the minds of both fans and critics. Recently, Da Drought 3 was hailed as the best mixtape of 2007 by MTV news, and was a major factor in Wayne officially being named The "Hottest MC" by their hip hop brain trust, and the best rapper alive.

[edit] Disputes

On this Mixtape Lil Wayne addresses many issues he's been questioned on, such as the infamous Birdman and Lil Wayne 'kiss' and Gillie Da Kid (who made a video where he claimed he had written songs for Wayne). He readily makes direct and indirect references to both.

[edit] Birdman

Lil Wayne doesn't waste time addressing the rumors surrounding Birdman and himself, plainly saying "Damn right, I kissed my daddy. I think they pissed at how rich my daddy is. I'm his kid, I stunt with my daddy." He has said in interviews that the kiss was actually a cheek kiss, like the way the Mafia does. He continues in the song to say, "So diss me and don't diss my Daddy, 'cuz who was there when no one wasn't? Just my daddy. Who was there when I needed money? Just my daddy. So who be there when I see the money? Just my daddy."

[edit] Gillie Da Kid

Wayne refers to Gillie metaphorically several times, once saying "shirt softer than Gillie" ("I Can't Feel My Face") and another time stating, "I'm a shark in the water. Yup I swim with the bigs. So I don't have time to deal with 'Willie Da Squid'" ("Live From 504"). He makes an even more meaningful jab on "I'm Blooded", using plenty of imagery as usual. He says "I advance my flow, and they must like that. They like it so much, they say they write that. Barking at the dog, but I don't bite back. I ain't CPR, I ain't bringing their life back." With this he is stating that he won't fuel the fire of controversy, explaining why he rarely directly addresses issues like Gillie. Wayne is saying that the opposition (including Gillie) is simply trying to get into the spotlight by making claims and insulting him, but if he doesn't respond to it ("bite back"), it won't help them ("CPR"), and the opposition therefore has no fuel to continue.

Wayne is actually talking about Willie Da Kid not Gillie Da Kid when he says ""I'm a shark in the water. Yup I swim with the bigs. So I don't have time to deal with 'Willie Da Squid'" Willie Da Kid who put out a diss to him http://www.trillsouth.com/blog/flows/willie-the-kid-gets-at-lil-wayne/
