  1. I'm definitely Carter 2 > Carter 1 > Carter 3.

    I was actually considering whether Wayne is in my top 10 yesterday and realized I had him underrated. I don't have him in it, but recognized there's probably a few people I could easily remove to fit him in. What Lil Wayne is is witty and entertaining.

  2. lil wayne has sooo much music bob. it’s kinda hard to get a grasp on him even with just the Carter series. he’s more than that. he’s the culture, the features, the mixtapes, the icon. i think once you really get into his mixtapes you might understand.

  3. I think the worst thing about reaction channels is that they just get bits and pieces of people. To me, someone that can rap for days holds more weight than one good album or 2 good albums. Rappers that drop loosies and they go harder than what's on their albums. And reactors don't get that. They just get the more popular stuff everyone wants to hear. Which is still awesome. But you can't know how great someone is until you've heard everything

  4. Can't wait for the Carter 3 reaction, one of my favorite albums ever! but tbh if you never listen to Wayne's mixtapes or other projects outside the Carter series you won't get why people have him so high. One of his biggest accomplishments was taking someone else's beat and rapping over it better than it made you forget the original. The Carter series is really only a fraction of his discography and Mixtape Wayne is what got him the title of best rapper alive along with C3

  5. Please review a Gang Starr album! I suggest Moment of Truth as it is their biggest success. Gang Starr is Guru and DJ Premier. It's unbelievable that you've reviewed so many albums containing DJ Premier beats without getting to his own group.

  6. Please find the original track list for Tha Carter 3. Pussy Monster is not that great of a replacement track for Playing With Fire, which I do think you'll prefer. I was hesitant to like Wayne but he was undeniable at the time because he was on so any things that you were bound to like something he had done. Carter 3 is solid but I skip more tracks than I used to and I was never much of a fan of Carter 4

  7. please do life of a dark rose by lil skies or shelby by lil skies. they’re both some of the most lyrical trap albums and was what really got me into that melodic/trap rap music and i really think it could do the same for you.

  8. He's my GOAT. You just gotta listen to his mixtapes and the rest of the Carters. I think you're underrating his verbal reasoning skills, too, because he sounds slurred and Southern. He has a real knack for turns of phrase and imagery that I just love. He's one of a kind.

  9. Your synopsis of Wayne is completely off early in the video around 3:30 or so. Wayne is one of the most lyrical, technical, ever changing rappers of all time. He has one of the biggest discographies. Wayne is STILL rapping today at a high level.

  10. I swear Bob hating on the best songs smh and then putting new rappers above lil Wayne is insane….but I mean you did just start listening to rap soo u guess you would like jpeg over lil Wayne. ( even typing that is insane) you probably like Danny Brown more and I just can’t fathom that 😢

  11. one thing you're missing is that it's not necessarily about the carter 3 or 2, its a much fuller picture. Lil wayne has been a rapper almost his entire life, he has one of the most unparalled runs in hip hop history, he's the sponsor of a wide variety of sounds in hip hop and is arguably the most influential rapper of all time, not to mention he seems to only get more lyrically complex with age in his latest works. It's not just random fans, if you look at the majority of newer artists in hip hop, they all list wayne in their top 5 rappers. He's the most versatile rapper of all time and did it all while freestyling. He successfully brought up major artists under him with continued success. I think interviews could help a lot to understanding it all

  12. Hey look, longtime watcher, I really enjoy your direction reviews but I would truly love if you start reviewing mixtapes of Lil Wayne. It’s very interpersonal when you listen to certain tapes with context, for example ‘Sorry 4 The Wait 2’ when he was at war with Cash Money Records Birdman for withholding the release of Tha Carter 5. A lot of anger and rage was let out on that tape towards his counterparts and it was essentially a version of him evolving to higher heights in his lyricism. Very menacing and meticulous all while previewing his true capability of being a rapper when it was a time many people believed he wasn’t as good as people made him out to be (reference Dreams & Nightmares from that tape) I truly think a honest and thorough listening review would blow us away!

    I hope others like this so you can see this opinion of mine.

    I followed waynes whole career and he was actually one of the first artists that I would play if I wanted to get the party crackin as a dj(this was about 18 years ago) and I think the thing with wayne is… he got so good fast that with him you have to explore his mixtapes too. He was so epic that if he was featured on a song or he freestyled over someones track it was like it became his shxt lol

  14. When you listen to Carter III I'm hoping you revist Carter I and II for some thoughts on how they differ from one another and what's your favorite. The sonic changes from I, II and III are dramatic and Wayne himself changes a lot.

    there's nothing else to think about really.
    Wayne was the goat for a generation on purple drank.

    It's mostly overrated and doesn't have reply value for anyone outside of hard core wayne fans.

    But there is a little ..

    "you just had to be there" in waynes career
