Lil Wayne's Best Album: Carter I, Carter II, or Carter III

[Shizlansky]

Wayne def dumb down his bars for mainstream.

 

[Shizlansky]

Carter 2 intro is one of my favorite tracks of all time.

5 minutes of straight flames.

 

[Bcotton5]

[Bcotton5]

It's a crime how much y'all sleep on C3! It was hard to pick, toss up between C2 and C3 but....

3Peat?

A milli?

Dr Carter?

Let the beat build?

You ain't got nothin'?

Dontgetit?

Plus ya boy got some pussy to Mrs Officer!!!!!!

cs C3 still showed the most growth andit was dope

 

[Bcotton5]

Poll going how I thought it would. Carter II is one of my favorite albums.

But I still think y'all sleeping on the flow, lyricism, and perfect southern production of Tha Carter. If you ain't heard it, or it's been a minute, give that shit a listen.

I also appreciate the respect Wayne is getting in this thread.

Too much hate around here for one of the greatest artists of my generation.

yea he the GOAT of all time

This is how Wayne flowed/rapped before he met Gillie the Kid.

lil weezy - Clear tha set

I don't know why Wayne get so much hate on here.. the nigga broke the Internet countless times with mixtape releases

But yall call him garbage

The IC been anti Wayne for years, just how it is when you're on top. Same treatment Jordan got.

Im a IC nigga. So i know the conversations. The more famous you are, the more hate u get.

Im one of the few people who actually was bumpin the hot boyz back in 97. And thats only because i was stationed in Texas. I heard lil keke early too. Niggaz actually credit me for puttin cleveland on to mystikal because i brung his tape up in 95, let my cuzzinz dubb it, and there ya go.

Wayne wasnt even better than Turk in the Hotboyz most of the time. But wayne stayed. Cash money was a machine and i honestly thought he would never make it because he been rapping since 12 and had money and the streets aint gon fuck with him. Boy was i wrong and i will eat that crow.

Wayne went on a mixtape freenzy. He had that drought shit. he unloaded all of his written rhymes and started anew. Gillie the kid was a big influence. The nigga aint lying when he say " before wayne met me, he was rapping like " bobble dee bobble dee, drop it like its hot."

Think about it, lil carter all of a sudden had bars. was flowin. and then......... He reveiled his new chops.

lil duffle bag boy


2Chainz, i cant hate. He came up, but after him, a string of one hit gimmick rappers came out.

 

[Peace_79]

Don't know if that's hate or nostalgia.

But I chalk all that up to growth and maturity... I give him more kudos for it.

Everybody is influenced by their peers/mentors, especially teenagers.

It's not how you start... It's how you finish.

Never been a big Wayne fan but Carter 2 I feel was his best all around album. Carter 1 he wasn't quite there yet & Carter 3 while it has quality joints just felt so much like an industry manufactured album. He had that right balance of raw shit & appeal to the masses. Too bad he hasn't been able to be consistent since.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

wayne was wabbldy wabbldy, he was also this


his growth could come from gillie influence, i also attribute it to letting go of some of that bounce music he was on and maturing into a grown mane

also im puttin any niggas who say turk out rapped any hot boyz on a consistent basis on shady team status

Wrong

Sqad Up mixtape showed his growth.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

he didnt let go of some of that bounce style and mature into a grown mane on those mixtapes?

 

[KLICHE]

I liked and still do, the 3rd installment. Last album I enjoyed by Wayne.

 

[AP21]

Carter 3 was a glorified mixtape

It had some VERY nice songs, but there was no theme like the previous two installements. No fly in/walk in...fly out/walk out interludes. The C3 sounds like some songs that probably could've gone on C2 but got scrapped at the last min and the rest of the C3 sounds like fillers. Dont get me wrong, its a very nice album, but it just pales in comparison to the previous two.

 

[youngnick]

Carter II only Wayne album I like.

 

[mryounggun]

C1 was REALLY good, it was that album that put niggas on wayne heavy and when he really started blossoming into an MC. C3 was when he started his decline, to me. Still a dope album, but the lyrics weren't as crisp, the language wasn't as fly, and it was SUPER commercial.

C2 though??? That shit was phenomenal. That was his peak, prolly (A case could be made for Dedication 2 and/or Drought 3). And as much as I LOVE mania fresh, I don't think it's a coincidence that Wayne went to another level when he started having mad other niggas produce his shit.

Then again, he hasn't really made much dope music since C3 to me, so ...yeah.

 

[mryounggun]

If niggas think Wayne fell off listen to this and ask yourself if you truthfully believe Wayne fell off or aint had top 5 verse of the year and he aint eem drop an album this year....


This is literally Lil Wayne ft. A$AP Rocky

This is always the verse people point to, in terms of recent standout Wayne verses. I gotta be honest, man. It just don't move me like that. I dunno if he has lost a step, he's just not as clever as he used to be...or I just outgrew him. But It's SOMETHING. I don't enjoy his music on any level anymore.

I dunno, man.
