In celebration of Tha Carter V, VIBE ranked the albums from this series to determine which reigns supreme.ĭue to a combination of Lil Wayne’s bad luck and having already set an impossible benchmark dominating with Tha Carter III and the No Ceilings mixtape in back to back years, Tha Carter IV was almost destined to be a failure.
With next year marking two decades since Lil Wayne’s solo debut Tha Block Is Hot, his latest album Tha Carter V has performed relatively well from critical and commercial standpoints at a time when most considered his career to be in limbo. 1-3 collection of albums, but Wayne’s latest work proves him capable of bouncing back from a slump the same way last year’s well-regarded 4:44 showed his big homie could still make music that resonates after a steep decline. Always looking up to Jay-Z (their rumored 2011 subliminal skirmish aside), Tha Carter series not only potentially borrows inspiration from Hov’s late ‘90s Vol.
Since releasing Tha Carter in 2004, Wayne’s tireless work ethic has shaken up the game through countless mixtapes and iconic collaborations with everyone from day one producer Mannie Fresh to the likes of Cool & Dre, Bangladesh, Kanye West, and Swizz Beatz.
