The Carter 3 was mid when it came out why are people trying to rewrite history

[Toe Jay Simpson]

nikkas new stuff so bad it’s making people hate his old stuff

 

[Ike omad]

He never made any good album tbh

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I stopped caring for The Carter series after 2

 

[Iverson_64]

it was never a good album
tha Carter IV was actually much better

Hell no.

That's lowkey the worst Carter now that I think about it.

Cringe Big Sean tier punchlines, even less cohesion than C3 somehow, cheesy pop songs, a watered down version of a Ross classic, "interludes" that he doesn't even rap on, and no depth at all.

It's the most cookie cutter and phoned in album in the series.

 

[Reptile]

all they ever do is bring up the sales, Carter II was his peak musically

Carter 1 >>>>>>> Carter II

C3 has a very interesting history. I'm a 92 baby so I remember it quite well.

Wayne had a crazy mixtape and feature run in the mid-2000's that gave him a huge buzz and he was being hyped as the "best rapper alive."

C3 leaked and the album dropped and had a huge impact.

Musically, the album is all over the place and not really good in quality. But the impact is what made people call it a classic. Without C3's success, Young Money would've never took off as it did. If C3 flopped, not only would Wayne's run be in the toilet but Young Money artists like Drake and Nicki wouldn't have blown up like they did either.

C2 is still the best Wayne album to me. It's not as catchy or crossover but it's his most consistent sounding rap album besides C1. C3 was definitely a downgrade and the songs were so all over the place that it feels more like a playlist than an album.....lowkey foreshadowing the playlistification of hip hop.

I will say this though. C3 in spite of its flaws still tops just about every Wayne album that came after it. C4 was a hot mess. C5 was really raw but bloated with some dated songs. And the non-Carter albums damn near feel non-canon to his catalog cause nobody brings them up like that outside of the hits.

I fukked with rebirth as a Stan. But I would never even bother ranking it or talking about it.

at non canon. That's too accurate.

Carter 3 is not a good album it’s 3 and half mics and was underwhelming

In what world is a 3.5 mic album not good. That's literally a good album.

Lol...maybe non-canon's the wrong phrasing.

Carter albums = Blockbusters

Non-Carter albums = Pixar Shorts

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

That album was a lot of fun to listen to all the way through in summer 2008

 

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

After Carter 2 and tha mixtapes...I neva liked this album..Gucci hit his stride that year and he was getting alot more play at this time

 

[Overpss]

It was always considered as mid...

 

[O.Red]

Bruh what the fukk

 

[RennisDeynolds]

It was the culmination of his climb to the top of the rap game. A true commercial success and effort through and through.

 

[BronxFleeZ]

Imma do it again like nikka backwards

You wildin bro he was talking

I’ve said it was overrated since the day it dropped. The recession and Nas Untitled were the best rap albums to drop that year.

But I’ll be lying if I said people are re-writing history. That damn album hit like a hurricane and most said it was an instant classic. I still think it’s overrated but I’ll be lying if I said it wasn’t objectively a classic. It had too much impact and til this day the majority say it’s a classic even though C1 and C2 are miles better

It wasn’t overrated as a pop album and a cultural moment. But as a rap album it’s a little bit overrated
