Since the question limited me to albums, I didn’t include mixtapes, but two of them reign over all of the albums I’ve named. The greatest Wayne albums, however, are Tha Carter III (2008), Tha Carter II (2005), and Tha Carter V (2014-2018). So with those aspects in mind, I feel that the best Lil Wayne albums, in no particular order, would be Tha Carter II (2005), Tha Carter V (2014-2018* = this will be covered in depth later), and Free Weezy Album (2015). Therefore, what appeals to me might be different from the average hip hop critic’s recommendation. Furthermore, when it comes to Wayne, who’s always worked at a monstrous pace and specialized as a vocalist, I tend to not deem production as important as his rapping. would make my “best” rappers list) while “greatest” includes skill, but also accounts for legacy, longevity, influence, context, and other intangibles. I Am Not A Human Being 2 will be his 10th full-length album.I’ve always defined “best” and “greatest” separately – I feel that “best” entails pure skill (Big L, Big Pun, Kool G, etc. His previous effort, 2011’s Tha Carter IV, was the year’s highest selling hip hop album and, in its first week of sales, was second only to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way. This news, furthermore, comes a few weeks after Weezy made headlines for his controversial remarks regarding Emmett Till on the track “Karate Chop (Remix).” The backlash led his label to pull the lyric from the song.Īll of this, of course, only garners the New Orleans rapper more attention, making IANAHB2 one of the year’s most highly-anticipated albums. This was an interesting choice on Wayne’s behalf since West is a close friend of Jay-Z, with whom Weezy has had a highly publicized beef. IANAHB2, which will be available March 26th, features cover art done by DONDA, a creative content firm established by Chicago producer/rapper Kanye West.
