Ranking Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter Albums

[@yousefb6741]

The carter - his most raw Carter 2 - his best in terms of rapping ability Carter 3 - his best produced album Carter 4 - his best in terms of features from other artists Carter 5 - his most underrated

Carter 5 his best in terms of substance

The Carter - Most raw Tha Carter 2 - His most street Tha Carter 3 - His most complete Tha Carter 4 - His best produced and punchlines Tha Carter 5 - His most heartfelt

[@user-fs7zm6zc7s]

C5 has the best rapping and C1 has better rapping than C2

[@vaudevilleE54]

Fav track from each Carter? Mine: Carter 1 - Toss up between On my Own and The Heat Carter 2 - Hit em up Carter 3 - Mr. Carter Carter 4 - 6 foot 7 foot but Nightmares of the Bottom is close Carter 5 - Let it all work out

[@AnonymousALAH]

I can agree with Carter 3 and 5 but what about Go DJ or Cash Money millionaire for C1 , Hustla musik for C2 , She will for C4 ?

[@coopsosa]

nightmares of the bottom one of my favorite wayne songs ever

[@brandonreed3670]

Carter 1 is slept on. I think overall he’s rapping way better on C1 than he is on C4, and arguably even C3

[@maxwu4145]

hes not rapping better than 6 foot 7 foot on carter 1

[@brandonreed3670]

@@maxwu4145 I think he’s rapping better on BM JR, and even if you disagree, it’s not like he’s rapping on that level for all of C4. C4 has a lot of Wayne’s weakest bars ever

Tha Carter I is way too underrated, them Mannie Fresh beats are just too fresh. It's crazy how an album from 2004 still sounds so fresh to this date and Lil Wayne's lyricism is phenomenal

[@jsant8998]

Get Down - fuckinn catchy as fuck... Miss my Dawgs - Wayne sounds and gets super emotional with his voice on that one ... Cash Money Millionaires - the way he raps those first several.bars is unique funny and dope all at once ... not to mention the intro, middle section and outro theme

[@HaikesXO]

BMJR is one of the best hip hop songs ever.

[@deathfliez627]

Tha Carter actually has mixtape Wayne bars.

[@Goated_EddieBrock]

carter 1 is a classic

[@mikejones1572]

It’s only underrated to Lil Wayne fans who became Lil Wayne fans after he was already the most popular rapper in the world

[@matthewcarpenter4572]

I hope tha carter 6 is a bit more concise than the other albums, a 10-12 song cinematic album would be amazing. Whatever comes out i feel like itll be probably the 4th best in the series

[@deathfliez627]

That would be up to Tez and Mack Maine. But its clear they're not great editors. There were so much better cuts for C5 that they never put on. As nice as C5 was, we know for sure it could've and should've been better with existing tracks he made for it.

[@thedon0516]

It needs to be more like Tha Carter 2, them beats need to sound crisp and polished with insane samples. Hope it's not just some typical trap beats like today's standards

[@jaxbittner8536]

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but Carter 4 is my all time favorite Wayne album. 1, 2, and 3 are objectively better but 4 just has a special place for me and it’s never left my rotation since I first heard it like 10 years ago

Carter 4 gets WAY too much hate. It is literally a toss up for me and I’ve flip-flopped over the years BUT Carter 4 is PEAK Wayne IMO. 3 was peak Wayne for popularity but 4 has to be lyrically the best. The punchlines are on another level. Metaphors left right and centre. Classic songs. Beats are the best of any Wayne album. 4 3 2 5 1

[@Nighhhts]

Carter IV has Wayne’s most simplistic punchlines and schemes. 3, 2 and 5 have WAAYYU better punchlines than 4. Open Letter alone is better than any track on CIV.

[@HaikesXO]

Abortion, president Carter, I like the view, so special , up up and away, blunt blowin, mega man, 6’7…. So fire

[@rickybellissimo1480]

@@Nighhhts there are at minimum 7-8 songs on Carter 4 better then Open Letter (a song I absolutely LOVE by the way). Simplistic or not, song after song, it’s just a punchline feast! After all, mixtape Wayne is wildly considered “the best version of Wayne”, and Carter 4 has the most mixtape vibe. And what I mean by that is it’s just punchlines galore, having fun with it, and rapping his ass off.

[@rickybellissimo1480]

@@HaikesXO SO fire! I’ve flip-flopped between 3 and 4 over the years as the best Carter. I find myself going back to 4 more BUT understand the nostalgia and classic songs that 3 has. She Will with Drake on the hook, John with that insane Ross feature, even It’s Good with Drake Jada Wayne murdering it bar for bar…it doesn’t get the respect it deserves truly. I love Carter 5 too. But would out 2 above it. And 1 is SOOOO GOOD but imo last

[@Nighhhts]

@@rickybellissimo1480 There is not no “7-8 songs better than Open Letter” on CIV. President Carter is the only one that comes close to Open Letter. 6 Foot 7 Foot isn’t even better than Dedicate. CIV has Wayne’s most basic bars out of all Tha Carter albums.

[@otmthewave]

1. Tha Carter II 2. Tha Carter III 3. Tha Carter 4. Tha Carter 4 5. Tha Carter 5 Carter 1 doesn't get enough recognition. There are more bangers besides just Go DJ & Miss my dawgs. Carter III is most commercially successful album. I love Carter III but.. Carter II is my favorite Carter. His first album without Mannie's production. Pen game was crazy. He had something to prove on C2. Bars. Hooks. Flow. He became the BEST RAPPER ALIVE Carter II was wayne at Thanksgiving Dinner. Carter III was wayne pulling thru multiple drive thru restaurants showing his versatility. Carter I was his intro as a real rapper instead of a Wobble-Dee rapper . plus his career was basically on the line. BM Jr was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tamimuddin4402]

Bro Carter 2 is a classic

[@cameronprailes8320]

Lil Wayne is my absolute favorite rapper of all time, hands down, not even a close second. With that being said, I've always thought the biggest difference between Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III was: on C2, Wayne's rapping like he's PROVING he's the best rapper alive, and on C3, Wayne's rapping like he KNOWS he's the best rapper alive--IYKYK. Both flawless albums, but if I have to put my personal ranking list in writing: 1. Tha Carter II 2. Tha Carter III 3. Tha Carter IV 4. Tha Carter V 5. Tha Carter I (so hard to put here)

One of the best, most iconic album series in music. My personal ranking goes: 1. III 2. II 3. V 4. IV 5. I TC3 and TC2 go back and forth for me all the time. And also, TC5 gets too much disrespect, sure it’s a bit bloated but the highs and personal theme of Wayne’s writing throughout makes it a real special album to me.

[@Nighhhts]

Man, Open Letter is phenomenal… easily better than any single track on CIV.

[@egotrips4810]

THIS. I was sad to see TC5 so low, one of my fav Wayne projects and also my most played. It's not as lyrical as say TC3 but the production with the vibes is a banger. Also 'Famous' with Wayne's own daughter Reginae doing the hook is such a beautiful yet melancholic piece of work

The new Wayne is perceived differently, but as always, his music tends to reveal itself differently at a distance. With the passage of time, "Carter V" has opened up for me much deeper than in the first year of listening. If then I thought it was one of the worst in the series, now it's the opposite
