Kendrick or Kanye but ktt not ready for this discussion

that's because he is the GOAT

Closest album Drake has to touchig a Carter album but it genuinely was a different type of hype. Wayne felt like larger than life superstar on C3 and especially 4,Drake was a star with something to prove on Views.

you clearly don't know what you talking about

Wayne's discography isn't the greatest,

but he's also one of the first rappers who's discography is unbiasedly impacted if you don't include mixtapes.

In the future, this will impact rappers legacies even more (it already has), but Wayne's discography gets a HUGE boost if you include D1, D2, and Drought 3 which IMO you should.

His legacy and standing in rap has only a little to do with his own albums. His trail blazing legacy has a lot more to do with a peak that included a slew of A1 features, mixtapes, and guest spots.

Enlighten me

Can't make good music anymore

Kanye got some trash raps,I will be the first to admit

No ones really overrated if they got it they got kt

His cultural impact is insane no doubt

But when it comes to the level of his projects I think he could've done better

He never took himself too seriously and that was his gift and his curse

No one rates kanye that highly as a rapper lol

Drake is 100% one of the more underrated rappers in the game today, and maybe all time.

Srs.

Niggas talk about Drake like he's this pop act, and ignore the work he's put in as a pure rapper. His pure rap catalogue alone is one of the best the game's seen but somehow niggas can't compartmentalize someone being an elite rapper and making find your love.

I think he approached albums like he approached his mixtapes and features, and that is a gift and a curse.

But like, how can you talk about Wayne's discography without talking about the Squad up mixtapes, D1 and D2, etc.

Do you really think C3 lacked "artistic direction"? Hell, he even made a rock album after that. Did you even listen to OG C3 and songs like Pray To The Lord, La La La and I Feel Like Dying?

Facts. Even Kanye doesn't lol.

Yeah C3 was all over the place. We ended up with an 8.5/10 album that should've been a 10/10 double album

And Rebirth sucks bro

For me personally it seem like he lost his charm. I gave D6 a high spin the other day and while he still have bars here and there, when he does come with them, they don’t pop anymore. It’s like there’s no swag or whatever word you wanna use anymore. If the bars were there 100% of the time I could look past it but he’s inconsistent lyrically these days as well. And if you say he’s not on the same level y’all act a fool like it’s a hot take or something. It’s not a “he’s trash” overrated but a he’s not the same Weezy and we gotta admit that overrated.

op gave a dumb statement, gave no substance in op and just said make a debate amongst yourselves

That's cuz nowadays he's into rapping as fast as he can and squeezing a million syllables into every line

He lost his clever and original approach to rapping

Everytime I say my opinion against Kanye I see a bunch of hardcore stans defending him. It's like you can't criticize him. Same with kdot smh.

Listen to Little Girls Eyes which is from Rebirth sessions and tell me it sucks

As a fan,I’ve always thought about Tha Carter series as an original mixtape that Wayne puts his stamp of approval on,that’s why it’s called Tha Carter,it’s like him putting his signature on something and approving it. It’s not meant to be cohesive or artistic,Tha Carter series is just a documented update on Lil Wayne through his raps/music.

He was always inconsistent lyrically tho

And even at his best there were always better lyricists

most artists don't have an album as good as I Am Not A Human Being

True but's it hard to ignore that Drake's reach worldwide rivals Eminem's while Wayne wasn't as big as them outside the USA. Even Kanye's much bigger overseas than Wayne.

But, if we're strictly talking about the USA, I do believe Wayne was the bigger superstar in his peak than Drake at his peak.
