Carter III had some fantastic lyrics. Just because his subject material is bitches, money and his ego doesn't mean he isn't an intelligent, funny and perceptive writer.
Dr. Carter is my all time favourite wayne song.
But i'd still put C2 & mixtapes above it
Fair call. I haven't listened to anything but C3 and some of C4. And I'm too lost in the mystery that is OFWGKTA too care about many other hiphop releases.
Look me all I'm so gangster in the ghetto rolling in my drugs and money. Oh look all these women and drugs this car goes pretty fast aswell. O man you can't fuck with this. Im so impressive look at me posture.
Yeah that is basically why I can't take rap seriously. Way to much of it is trash. I'm sure there is some good work like there is in all things but I can't be bothered to dig through a massive pile of garbage to find something worth my time to listen to.
I love Lil Wayne's style but I cant' believe people are praising his lyrics... If you guys think he's got quality lyrics then I feel sorry for you. You obviously are not knowledgeable about rap (no offense).

"You aint doin shit if you aint getting hated on." and ty HellKey for making this thread. Nice to see a fellow TLien into Wayne too. Tbh im one of his biggest fans. And for yall who have this pre image of lil wayne being just another "rapper" is just wrong. He really is a cool and interesting dude and makes great music and whoever thinks otherwise is just hater. Although i can understand if hip-hop just isnt your thing. We all got our different music. But Lil Wayne is good. and that's a fact. Hes got millions to prove it.
And whoever hasnt bought Tha Carter IV yet, go do it =] it's worth it.
#C4boom
Please don't refer to wayne as "hip-hop". It's commercialized pop rap for white girls, just like Drake and Wiz Khalifa.

Big L says "Hi".
Lord Finesse, Kool Keith, All of Oakland (Pac, C-Bo, Mac Mall, etc.) Percee P, UGK and many more !!
Yes! These artists are the reason why I can't listen to today's rap.

You dont even know what rap means, it's rhythm and poetry, i you dont have knowledge about poetry you dont have knowledge about rap sorry dude...
The subject doesn't matter that much in poetry, the important part is how you do it...Baudelaire could have made a piece of art with a subject like water...

imo the only guys that play in the same league as wayne when he was in his tip top shape are nas jay-z & andre 3k.

yeah it's how you do it... and Lil wayne does it wrong. But go ahead, keep listening to shit, I won't stop you.
I have a feeling this is going to be a very volatile thread The rap hipsters against the world.
edit: Not saying that "rap hipsters" don't listen to good music, its just they tend to discount just about anyone seen as "commercial" without giving it a chance. Listen to Lil Wayne's songs that aren't on the radio if you want to give it a fair shake.
Wow I don't even know why I'm arguing... What lil wayne does, other rappers did it ten times better. How is it hard to understand? No disrespect to Lil wayne but people got to stop overrating him.
Never liked lil wayne, I think it is because of his voice since I know what I am getting into when it comes to mainstream rap. Though I like Keak Da Sneak, so... I can't explain it.

I've listened to all of the Carter albums, multiple mixtapes and a ton of other random tracks due to my friends. The Carter II was decent. Being commercial isn't what kills Lil Wayne, it's that he's an average lyricist who raps over annoying or generic beats and gets by because he has "swagger" than white teenage girls like - hence his sales.
And when millions blindly say he's the best rapper alive (because he says so) it's beyond absurd, given that most of them have never even heard of guys like Pharoahe Monch, Common, Canibus, etc... His "competition" in their eyes are the likes of Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye, modern Jay-Z, etc...
It's like if millions of casual SC2 fans were to claim Idra is the best player in the world when they don't know who Nestea, MC, MVP, etc are.
Used to be a Lil wayne fan until after carter 3, he starting putting out crap that wasnt quality material. Personally, Im a huge Eminem fan and saying that Lilwayne is better then Eminem even in both thier primes, is rediculous. I guess im biased though, anyway lil wayne is trash now.

Lil wayne is no where near Eminem. Lil wayne in his "prime" doesn't even touch Eminem in his worst.
