Biggest baddest boss
The Block is Hot & Lights Out= really good albums...TBIH was a 4.5/5 and LO was a 3.5/5
500 Degreez= TRASH
Carter 1= 4.5/5
Carter 2= 5/5 Classic
Carter 3= 4.3/5
Rebirth/I am not a human being= it varies but who really counts Rebirth and an EP thrown together while he was in jail?
Carter 4= TRASH
The Like Father Like Son album = this that shyt
his resume isnt too bad. he has 2 trash albums.
and thats not even including the mixtapes
IANAHB 2 could be alright -- no worries and love me are cool -- and C5 is his last album. it HAS to be a banger though...
he need some more mature content TBH
How many and what are the classic songs from carter 2?

Power is in my hair nikka
didn't say anything about being top 5 DOA, i'm just talking from the standpoint that Wayne ran rap for almost 5 straight years.

Word I need to see some examples

Thing about this is, as far as the newer rappers go you can't talk about them without mentioning their mixtapes. You don't talk about 50/G-Unit without 50 is the future or GOD's plan or any of the G-Unit Radios.
If we're looking at straight albums then yeah his shyt is trash but his mixtape catalog brings it up to passable, still weak for a guy who claims himself to be the best though.

Carter 2 is a classic.

You just gonna completely fail to mention his entire mixtape run?
mixtapes don't count as apart of your discography as far as i'm concerned.

I couldn't disagree more, I think it's a disservice, especially the way the music business is, to just disregard mixtapes as part of an artist's catalogue.
In the old days, mixtapes used to be the leftover tracks that didn't make the album. So instead of them going to waste, they'd just be put out along with a few freestyles over popular beats or whatever.
I know people hate to give him credit for anything, but Mood Muzik 2 kinda changed all that. After that, the whole "album was okay, I liked his mixtape better though" phenomenon seemed to get a lot more prevalent. Labels run a tighter ship these days and are trying to maximize every penny out of an album because of the decrease we've seen in sales, so a lot of quality shyt doesn't get used. Mixtapes have become an artist's own representation of their product rather than the album, which a label heavily dictates. Plus, you don't have to clear samples for mixtapes and can collab with whoever you want rather than being required to get label permission, so it just makes for a better product IMO.
With that being said, even taking Wayne's mixtape catalogue into account, he's just not a "top" rapper. Yea he was popular, but so was Luda, Nelly, Biz Markie, Vanilla Ice, etc. Obviously not for the same period of time or to that extent, but popularity doesn't equal legacy.
Dude just isn't as good of a rapper as the all time greats. As large as his discography is, how many concept songs does he have? How many crazy storytelling songs, etc? His substance is just not there to be held in the same regard as the Nas, Jay, etc. of the hip hop pantheon.

The Takeover
500 Degreez sucked. That's the one pre-Carter album I dont like. Tha Block Is Hot is a solid 4/5. Lights Out, Carter I and Carter II are all 4.5/5. He's put out nothing but trash since Tha Carter 2 album wise.
Are the Hot Boys albums considered part of his discography?
