There's no guitar on Dedication 3, thank God, but we get a whole lot more of Wayne's off-key Auto-Tuned warbling than we get of his actual rapping, and he mostly leaves the rhyming to his Young Money Entertainment signees, which anyone who's heard Mack Maine's shockingly clumsy guest-verse on the "Got Money" video knows is a bad thing. But those other things seem to be monopolizing his attention these days. He's not especially good at playing guitar or singing or selecting rappers for his record label. Wayne is very good at a few things: rapping, picking beats, making goofy facial expressions in videos. Note the past tense: Wayne no longer has anything to prove, and Dedication 3, his new Drama mixtape, sounds like it. Fast forward to this year: Tha Carter III is the biggest-selling album of 2008 and also one of the most acclaimed- in part because Wayne put so much work in.
