It saying it is but a lot of people really become stans with c3

I feel like C2 is his best work imo
This is correct. C2 and all the mixtapes that followed were peak-Wayne. I honestly thought C3 was disappointing, A Milli, aside. Cut school and everything just to pick it up at 12 from Tower Records.

Watching Wayne grow up in Hip-Hop is a surreal thing after all these years. This album For the 1st time in Wayne’s career got me seeing him as a grown ass man, whose turned into a seasoned vet. Every song ain’t a classic, but this effort is more than solid considering the circumstances it took for us to get it. I’m gonna rock with this all weekend since my birthday is in a few days.

C3 is the best Carter, I think you’re forgetting how big of an impact that whole album was. Most of the songs on that tracklist are hits

I never said it wasn't his biggest or didn't have the biggest impact. I'm just saying the hype off his mixtapes that followed C2-- it was disappointing. I was 15 turning 16, and thought that shyt wasn't all that good. I can't speak for others and considering Rebirth and IANAHB ended up selling a bunch of copies, can't say 'I'm on the right side of history, but I always thought C3 was eh.A couple of highs, but more lows-- this was the era where mixtapes really meant more than albums did, so I feel like that was part of my problem.

I’m saying C2 cemented his status at the time
What does that have to do with anything

C3 was definitely more than a couple high tho, without including the leaked tracks it’s tracklist is almost all hits.

We can agree to disagree.
