Wayne made his album debut in 1999, with Tha Block Is Hot, which was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. His later albums, Lights Out released in 2000, and 500 Degreez, released in 2002, attracted minor attention. In 2004, he released the first of his infamous Carter series, with Tha Carter. In 2005, Tha Carter II was released. In 2006, Wayne released a collaborative album with rapper Birdman, titled Like Father, Like Son.

Over his more than 20-year career, Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has become what he prophesied on Tha Carter II that he's the "Best Rapper Alive." Not only that, but Weezy has also solidified his reputation as a rapper with longevity, personality and a larger-than-life attitude.
Wayne has spent half of his career as an artist on the venerable rap label Cash Money Records. But after releasing 10 albums with the label, he parted ways after a long, drawn out legal battle with the CEO and mentor Bryan "Birdman" Williams. Out of his past projects, Weezy's most revered music series is Tha Carter albums.
In varying album releases from 2004 to 2018, Tha Carter series helped establish Wayne as a major pop star with street credibility. The first Carter album gave a lyrical look at Wayne's maturity from a child rapper to a rap contender. On Tha Carter II, Wayne puffed out his chest and asserted that he was the best rapper alive.
On Tha Carter III, his most commercially successful album out of the series, Wayne made good on his proclamation. His popularity soared with this project, notching him his first two top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Lollipop" and "A Milli." With Tha Carter IV and Tha Carter V albums, the rap veteran manages to stay relevant to fans despite those projects having musical and lyrical shortcomings.
After releasing five Carter albums altogether, Wayne is far from done with the series. In a July 3 interview with Variety, the rap veteran hinted that he is working on the next installment of Tha Carter series, Tha Carter VI. When the interviewer asked Weezy what's his favorite Carter project, he replied, "My favorite Carter album is the next one."
So with the possibility that another Carter album is in the works, XXL decided to rank Lil Wayne's Tha Carter album series below from worst to best. Which one is your favorite Carter album?
It could be worse. "Everybody say they just do it, well, I just don't," claims Lil Wayne on Rebirth, his unlikely, unqualified, and quite unbelievable rock album. And he's speaking the truth: This album is not the logical official follow-up to 2008's best-selling Tha Carter III. At all. In any way. For that, he deserves credit. Considering Wayne is a man whose artistic aims apparently involve 1) Collecting oil-tycoon cash, 2) Having sex with several women at once, and 3) Concocting the world's finest excrement-related rhymes, Rebirth is most definitely a flop, terribly unsexy, and contains surprisingly few shit jokes. Wayne is playing against type here. "When I play sick, I'm Jordan with the flu," he boasts on the album, referring to Jordan's classic game against the Jazz. And in general, that's true; but here Wayne is like Mike with pneumonia and a broken leg... playing baseball.
But even with Rebirth's crushing lows-- and Wayne's imminent jail sentence thanks to a guilty plea on attempted gun possession charges-- there is little reason to doubt the 27-year-old's future as an enterprising, Grammy-highlighting superstar of the most esteemed set. "Confidence is the stain they can't wipe off," he says on the record, and he's right. A big part of his magnetism relies on unpredictability and his willingness to reside in a personal realm where trends, gimmicks, and gravity are of little concern. In that more ideological and less critical mindset, Rebirth is an oddball win. His still-impressive productivity rate also cushions the blow-- thanks to No Ceilings, we know the guy's rapping abilities are still sharp. And, on the same day Rebirth saw release, Wayne also put out a brand new non-album cut called "Fuck Today" that combines rap and rock with more aplomb than anything on the new LP. The track is diabolical and political, recalling Ice Cube in his early-90s prime. And it makes you think the proposition of a Rebirth II might not be so awful. I mean, it could be better.
2 Chainz has announced his new joint album with longtime friend/collaborator Lil Wayne, COLLEGROVE 2, is set to drop in November. 2 Chainz made the announcement on a closed set filming with Rock The Bells for an upcoming project.
More than a few people have pointed me to this verse as an example of Wayne making a return to form. With all due respect, I think there are better recent examples of Wayne's show-stopping guest verses, but I can't knock the enthusiasm, even if it seems to come from a sort of backhanded place. And I also can't complain about the principle of Tyler, the Creator handing an interlude over to Wayne on Flower Boy, which by my premature reckoning already stands as the former's best album since Bastard, if not ever.
Wayne has always been a rebel in the rap world. Tyler has, too. Both of them, at times, have seen their message of bucking conventions obscured by their outsized personae and the narratives that have arisen around them. But both have also always stuck to the principle that their craft spoke louder than outside perceptions, and so it's natural that, on an album on which Tyler looks to set himself free of perceptions, he would turn to Wayne for an interlude. And it makes sense that Wayne would rise to the occasion by "dropping English" and getting academic, weaving together references to Adam and Eve alongside ones to Onyx and Sticky Fingaz.
Is this a return to form for Wayne? None that he hasn't already been making for a while. But if people want to see it that way, I think it's a positive thing. Wayne and Tyler aren't always the most elegant messengers, but that's what makes their respective messages to be yourself all the more powerful. If it takes Wayne popping up for a minute on Tyler's album, signature lighter flick and all, to get that side of each across, so much the better.
With the first two singles being 6'7 and How To Love, I went from excitement to disappointment about the latest album The Carter 4 from Lil' Wayne. When 6'7 came out we all felt this album could be crazy. And when How To Love dropped, we all thought, "No, not another radio friendly BS love song". I was just hoping that was gonna be the only song like that on the album. 0852c4b9a8
